Comments Thread For: Pacquiao vs Margarito Clash is Possible, Says Arum

[rod_serrs]

Its the weight.. Foreman is 154lbs boxer while Margarito is a 147lbs boxer. so is 154lbs equals to 147lbs? What did Manny says before. 147lbs is his limit.

Now if you say why not ask Foreman to fight Manny at 147lbs. What would say then. Manny drains boxer to win. Am I right?

Weight shouldn't be the issue. Foreman probably doesn't hit as hard as Margarito even with the weight on his side. Manny doesn't need 154 lb power to win at LMW. He's more than capable of winning on the scorecards. I mean Malignaggi probably has like bantamweight power, but can compete at JWW. Its the style match-up they don't like. Foreman won't allow himself to get hit nearly as much as Margarito or provide as many highlight reel shots.

C'mon now, Margarito is way too big for Manny. This is a joke, please just get the Mayweather fight. Bob is starting to get on my nerves. If ****ing Yuri is too big at 5'11, ****ing Marg is 6'0, WTF!

Arum doesnt have any choice he's running out of Top rank fighters, Any the Mayweather/Mosley fight if it happens might have a rematch so good looking out by Arum in a way.

Anyone but Floyd eh? Im sorry but that's a payday Marg doesn't deserve I mean this guy has 6 losses already aside from him getting popped. Mexico deserves a new star that's not a cheat maybe like Alvarez and soon. Marg needs to rematch Mosley and win ( which he wont ) to get an ounce of respect from me ....

or maybe Cotto

Pacquiao will NOT fight Margarito-he is just as tall as Yuri Foreman-the guy who Pacquiao says is too tall for him to fight....Arum is destroying Manny's career with his ****** lies.
Still a way to dodge anyone named Mosely, Mayweather, or Williams....

Yuri Foreman has no fanbase to speak of so that is the main problem. It also doesn't help that his style is to run around the ring in a circle while Manny chases him. Margarito will come forward win or lose and make a brawl out of it and his mexican fans will pay big time to watch him try and conquer Pacquiao. You can bet on it.

The thing I like about a Margarito-Pac fight is it will be action packed, no doubt. I know Margarito doesn't deserve it, but why do people think Foreman is better than Margarito? Just because he beat Santos?

I understand of how Floyd and Pac have their beef. But what if Mosley happens to beat Floyd? Arum is gonna give a guy Mosley already beat the first dibs at Pac and that's bull****.

You cant hit what you cant see, Margarito is too slow for Manny..

[rod_serrs]

Margarito does not deserve a fight against Pacquiao. Simple as that.

True, but Margarito still has fans and Arum is gonna feed off that fact. Hosting the fight in the west could draw fans from both sides, or if in fact its held in the NJ/NY area as Arum stated there are plenty of Filipinos. They'll come to see Pacman take on another 'legit?' welterweight, provided Margarito still has some left and we assume he wasn't cheating prior to the Mosely fight.
