Comments Thread For: Pacquiao vs Margarito is Still on The Schedule, Says Arum

[counterpunch]

"berto vs pacquiao"

[King Ju-Ju]

I've had a feeling this would end up happening 4 a while already. Mosley isn't going 2 beat Mayweather imo & I don't think Manny & Floyd are going 2 reach a deal on the drug testing issue. So with that fight up in the air, Arum tosses around Margarito's name as a future guy 4 Pac-Man. Both are Top Rank & we all know Arum loves 2 keep the fights & the promo money in house. Roach sounds like he's not 2 thrilled about this. Valero would be good but I think Pacquiao would destroy him. He would destroy Margarito 2 if the plaster less loser that got ko'd by Shane shows up. If the animal that brutally beat up Miguel Cotto shows up, Pacquiao would be in trouble. & that's being fair 2 Margarito & his little plaster situation. I could easily say he doesn't deserve ****, he's a dirty cheater that beat up guys with bricks 4 handwraps & that all his wins should be flushed down the ****ing toilet along with his career & boxing license. But im not

Maragrito or Valero?


Over Mosley-Mayweather, Berto, Bradley, Williams and Martinez?


Team Pac is a joke man.

**** you Bob, i ain't paying for that ****.

Anyone who defends Arum not making Pac vs Mayweather/Mosley first choice is seriously takin the piss....especially those who call Mayweather a cherry picker etc.

co-sign...
im sick of this bullshit

[GT-R]

what the fuuck? after cheato knowingly almost ended cottos career, hes now deserving of a 7 figure payday???? fuuck the dumb ****.

[DARKSEID]

my vote is for Pacquiao-Bradley

put all the slick boxer doubts to rest. It's also a good warmup for Mayweather.

Anything but Margarito... and Valero is extremely 1-dimensional.. plus he has a problem with his head- he might die with Pacquiao...

ugh.. this just all feels so dirty... I hate bob arum so much.

Pac wouldn't fight Yuri because of the height advantage. What makes Arum think that Pac will fight this guy. Margarito and Foreman both have the same height, with Margarito having more reach and experience. If it happens I'm sure it will be at 147, but with Arum in control of both-- I wouldn't be surprised if they force Margarito to fight at a catch weight-- he is not in a situation to refuse.

Berto is an overrated bum with no chin....but don't let me tell you though. Just watch as Quintana exposes him and takes his belt when they fight.

Are you serious? A bum with no chin huh? Okay. (sarcasm)


Quintana isn't exposing **** either. I could care less about Berto but real recognize real. Berto is basically a young Mosley without Mosley's chin. Quintana will lose, uppercut -> left hook.. good night.

Berto is a joke, Bradley is a decent fight, Mayweather and Mosley are fighting each other and have unreasonable drug testing demands and Williams and Martinez are not WW's.

Valero and Margarito are the best options.


Margarito deserves this fight to make up for all the lies, distortions and damages he has taken for being unfairly suspended for 1 year.

The universe is smiling down on him with justice.

Your a joke because Valero is a light-wt. Fake ass Pac fans had nerve to talk **** about PBF fighting Marquez and now your considering Valero? Who unlike Marquez hasn't even been tried or tested. Anybody who bigs up a Valero fight aint **** and definitely aint a boxing fan.

The think with yuri is that he takes full advantage of his height and reach.. He fights completely upright and is a quintessential outside-reach boxer. Compared to other tall fighters like De La Hoya, who give away their height by crouching.

You are a jackass if you believe what you have written.

I applaud Mayweather and Mosely for accepting the "unreasonable drug testing." They did something Pacquia didn't have the balls to do in spite of having the chance of receiving his largest payday.

Margarito was found guilty of attempting to use illegal handwraps and most likely he used them when he fought Cotto.
