    Pac vs Margarito is VERY possible only if...

    Margarito goes down to 140

    Well maybe even 142.

    Yeah I know...Margarito will look like a corpse at that weight but hey if he were to get 10 million bucks for it why not? It would be almost 10x his career high payday.

    Margarito can probably get down to 142 and rehydrate to 160. He would then beat Manny to a bloody pulp. Is that what you want?

    Didn't think so....

      And getting Oscar to to lose 7 pounds got him to lose the fight.

      I mean...look at Cotto, he was'nt near as good at 140 than he was at 147. At 140 Cotto had to burn up his own muscles just to make the weight.

        If Margarito was the same size as manny, Manny would destroy Margarito. but size alone, you're right margarito would win because he is far too big for Manny.

        And even if Floyd Mayweather was back in this sport, I still think Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez are probably the two best boxers in this sport p4p wise.

            Oscar lost because he cant pull the trigger anymore.

            Margarito lights it up and wont stop once he gets going.

              Marg can shave off his mullet and make 135 no problem.

                i think everyone is in agreement that fighting at 147 for oscar was a one shot affair.

                the best weight for pacquiao is 135 or at most 140 if he no longer can make 135.

                let's keep his hypothetical opponents limited to guys at 135 and 140 or to the few 147 guys that can still make 140 comfortably.

                after seeing manny win against oscar , people are too quick to assume he'd be effective at 147 or that he can somehow beat anyone if he can get them to a lower weight than they are used to.

                just my opinion but manny is a 135 fighter now who could also be effective at 140. let's keep his opponents limited to those 2 weights classes or those who can comfortably go to those weights.

                  This fight would never happen. Freddie Roach is a smart man and he would be smart enough to know that Margarito would be too much for Pacquaio. This fight shouldn't happen, or we can see a fighter get severely broken.

                    No chance in hell this fight gets made. Arum is not that ****** to make this fight happen, he already rolled the dice with Cotto and it backfired on him since he was expecting the Rican to win. This fight would be like watching a phillipino snuff film, and I don't think I would want to see something like that.
