Margarito Is a slow, flat footed, 1 dimensional fighter, how does beating him make any fighter a best ever candidate? I really can't see how experts are comparing Pac victory over him as some kind of amazing feat. Yes its good to win but what decent fighter with speed wouldn't beat Margarito at this point? Tony has no concept of defense whatsoever, every punch lands, Pac shouldnt even accept any more fights against punching bags. He should be tired of being matched up against fighters with limited skills and abilities.
Mosley was considered a big guy, When you have to look at the size difference between Pac and Rito then it's amazing what he did last week, Yes Margarito is slow, plodding and a face first fighter but Pac still stood in there and trade if the bigger man when he could have just gone in and out with his speed..Can't knock that as a fan of entertaining boxing.
Marco Antonion Barrera x2,Erik Morales x2,Juan Manuel Marquez,Oscar DLH,Ricky Hatton,Miguel Cotto,Joshua Clottey,Antonio Margarito
Manny Pac has beaten THE best boxers of this generation,not just beaten them,DESTROYED them,the only guy missing is Floyd,not many fighters from ANY generation has a record like that
Some dumb a$$ flomo's in here, Pac destroyed a heatlhier bigger version of Margarito. Mosely KO'd a DLH zombie version of Margarito.
Pac also beat the hydroxy or whatever you call it version of marge who weighed 20lbs heavier as well, not distracted by plaster and the thought of going to prison hanging over him.
SSM didnt get credit because he beat Margarito like Hatton beat Kostya tzu huggy bear style. If people dont give hatton credit why should SSM get credit?
Pac gets credit because he treats his opponents like punch bags. Plus what Pac did to margarito he has done to his last 7 opponents. If SSM was as consistent as Pac, SSM might get half the credit Pac gets. The margarito performance was an off night for Pac as well.
When Shane KOed Margarito, everyone suddenly forgot that he was a cheater as well.
Manny has proving that he isnt a cheat yet!!! Everyone forgets that manny delayed the fight against floyd until he felt he was in the clear!!! Shane has paid his dues and so has Margarito get over it!!!
If shane hadnt smashed Margarito then manny would never have fought him!!!

so where did you get the idea that Pac got ALL his glory and acclaim from beating Margarito?
ts, its hard to take you seriously cause of your pure boxer thread.
MIC: "Pure boxers have always ruled boxing!"
"What do you think about Ivan Calderon"
MIC: "Who the fukk is that?"

Did Mosley move up 40lbs in his career, and THEN gave up 17lbs?!?
Pacquiao started boxing professionally when he was 16, and not to offend anybody but he is Asian, so he is naturally small and I believe he was under 5' tall when he began as a pro, so he was still an adolescent, not a mature adult.
While he did move up in weight, it's hardly of any significance because once he matured and came into his body he was a legitimate 125+ pound guy.
And you say "THEN GAVE UP 17 POUNDS" like it's a big deal. He is lightning fast and he fought a big, gumpy, slow guy. Smaller guys have an advantage over bigger guys when they know how to fight offensively, especially when the guy you're fighting is shot and has always used his face to block punches.
Margarito could have come in at 170 and 140 pound Manny would have dealt him the same beating.
I don't recall lauding his win over Baldo, it was a dominant win, plain and simple. I do know Baldo didn't just get KO'd by Mosley in a previous fight.
U sound dumber and dumber when you post....keep digging bro:rofl:
Yet you laud Mayweather's win over Baldo. kk just checking.

if Pac was a 6-1 underdog rather than favorite maybe the weight stuff would mean something. Besides does it matter how much a stationary punching bag weighs?

Shane Mosley hasnt hasnt dominated everyone he has fought the way manny has. Also, Mosley never had to deal with a 17 pound advantage, and Mosley doesnt have belts ( lineal or not) in 8 different weight classes. Comparing Mosley's win to Manny's is like comparing apples to oranges.
Wasn't Mosley a 4-1 underdog vs Margarito? Wasn't Pac a 6-1 favorite despite the weight advantage? Wasn't this fight protested as a farce by real boxing fans when it was signed? So now that the predictable has come true u call Pac the best ever? Margarito is a stationary punching bag, a shame fans can't keep it real.
