Arum should just make Margarito-Pacquiao?

[Ekscape]

Remember you have to beat Margarito by smoothering his punches and holding him like Mosley and Williams did. Brute strength alone won't be much. You also have to hit him in the body early on.

I bring this up because Pacquiao:

1. Not a body puncher

&

2. Does not like to hold or clinch(That was Cotto's downfall against Margarito)

I would give Pacquiao credit if he beats Maragrito. I said it from the beggining that Cotto and Clottey are easy fights for him and I won't give him credit and I sticked to my guns. I gave him credit for the Hatton win like I promised pre fight. A win over Margarito is a good win and I would give him credit for it.

Clottey is an easy win.

This is nottrue... Margarito can be outboxed by someone with good stamina and descent footwork...

Well let's keep note it's all about money for Arum. Arum doesn't care if Margarito doesn't deserve a shot at Pacquiao. Truth is he'll be a bigger draw than Clottey and that's all that matters.

I' m not even gonna mention that he's also a Top Rank fighter.

And honestly, in my personal opinion, I think Margarito is better than Cotto and Clottey with or without illegal handwraps and I see him as a much bigger draw and a more exciting fight for Pacquiao than Clottey and Cotto.

How the hell is he better than Cotto? Or Clottey for that matter? The dude is a walking punching bag, he's just blessed with some freak of nature physical attributes.

Miguel Cotto tried to outbox Margarito and fdid a good job until the 6th round because while he was successful with boxing Margarito, Margarito was getting his shots in and busting Cotto's face up.

Pacquiao is powerful but let's not act like Pacquiao has Mosley type power or Williams type reach.

He beat them both prime vs prime.


You beat someone prime vs prime=You're better than them imo.

Anyone else remember when **** Roach was fighting Hatton, Merchant asked him what next Margarito and he laughed it off saying no?

[Telepath]

Sounds like a great idea. Megahead versus the Prince of Paris. No juice checks for Pac, no wrap checks for Margie. But wait, we can't have that, because Antonio would murder Manny just like he murdered a fresh Miguel Cotto, and then the Pacquiao fans on this forum would have to cry themselves to sleep for a year.

Better call Paulie. I'm sure he'll agree to no testing for a big enough payday, and then he can run for twelve, unlike Cotto who actually tried to make a fight of it for a few rounds.

margarito-pacquiao makes more sense than any other option for uncle bob. i don't know why he doesn't bring this up.


margarito-pacquiao are both top rank.

margarito has a good fanbase.

margarito can play bad guy to manny's good guy.

it's an interesting fight.

dangerous tuneup but pacquiao should still win. especially with the long layoff.

mexican fighter vs. pacquiao will always sell.

I didn't even notice the nationality aspect of this fight but you're right though.

Pacquiao is dubbed "The Mexicutioner".

This fight would make Arum, Pacquiao, and Margarito a lot money.

Margarito can play Mexico's hero as the guy who will stop the Mexicutioner and get payback for Morales, Barrera, Marquez, Diaz, De La Hoya. I can already see the storyline.
