Comments Thread For: Arum Readies Margarito For Pacquiao as Plan B Option

[Versatility]

Yes maybe at 154 since Pac never fought at that division.
But at 147 im sure Pac will punish Marg w/ a great passion.

we dont know if its going to be at welterweight...its might be at mannyweight via weight draining

I think it'll be close...I'm not sure if Pac can execute the same type of gameplan that Mosley did and Margarito won't clam up to a shell before the opening bell like Clottey did. He will come to fight

But this is a Top Rank special and Manny does have to remain hot...

Can't believe how Pac fans can cosign this. Why can't Pac just
agree to the cut off? It's just damn random blood tests. Aside
from the testing guys being a nusiance, I don't see why Pac
wouldn't want to do it and prove Floyd was talking nonsense.
Let me get this straight. Pac prefers to fight Margarito rather
than Floyd and try to beat the man who dominated Mosley?
I would think he would want to prove he is truly the #1 in the
sport. What kills me is that Roach and Manny talked about
fighting Mayweather and wanting the fight so bad but NEVER
really intended on making it happen. I am more convinced now
then before that Manny is ducking Floyd and or Arum is just
gooning Pac BUT from what Pac said about Floyd being bigger,
I believe he is apart of the ducking machine too. Floyd already
became the #1 WW, I'm sure when Pac fights Margarito and Floyd
fights Martinez or even Berto and wins that he will be P4P#1 again
because this is ludricous what Arum, Pac and Roach are doing.
Their basically making it seem like they want to fight Floyd by
mentioning him but then already having plans to fight someone else.

Not really,were just talking about the possibility,since we all know that arum is a greedy old man,and theres a big possibility that he will bring this fight on the table. $$$$ you know.

Martinez or Williams ringing any bells??

I know Williams can do that but did Martinez say he can go down to 147 as well?

[MrClutch85]

But i think Marg was too slow for Pac.
I dunno but based on what ive seen yesterday hes stamina isnt that good to give Pac a problem for a whole fight. I can see Pac "dela hoya'ing" Margarito.

so from what you saw on a scale from 1-10 how did he look overall

[incredible]

Not a bad backup plan. I would prefer he fight someone like Tim Bradley if the fight with Jr can't be made. Margarito however is a tough customer; has the size, power, work rate, and chin to really give Pacquiao a good fight; but still fall short of beating the unstoppable force. A good fight, but not one that particularly interest me.

The first hand in business should be Mayweather. Adding that head to trophy case should be first and foremost concern for team Pacquiao. Especially with Mayweather's new style of coming forward willing to challenge and exchange... I hope he fights that same way he did against Mosley;only this time Jr will be going against someone who is going to be just as fast and a lot more combinations from different angles, with alot of movement (not the hands down stationary Mosley who was slow and jittery, and out of gase by the 5th Rd), and will not be so easy of a fight as was Mosley who showed that his age has caught up with him. After seeing that replay last night of that fight...I have to say, Pacquiao is going to hurt this boy if and when this fight takes place (everytime Shane Landed he hurt that Mother ***er), and that ant no joke. Pac would have hit that boy the way Shane did....he would have finished him. I hope more then ever that Pac's next fight is with Mayweather... Please, Please MAKE THAT FIGHT HAPPEN...

Martinez at 147? I dont think he can make it w/o having problems fight night. Judging on his body type,hes goin to drain so much weight.

[Roxas]

I like this fight just for the fact i wanna margarito get KO'd again and my mark my words against Pac it will be even more devastating for him then the Mosley KO

[GRANDSLAM]

I'm not sure I get Arum's comments about The Ring, how many covers has Manny had in the last 12 issues, too many in my opinion. He's a great fighter but there's other fighters out there to put on the cover, I can't tell how delighted I was when I saw Tim Bradley on the cover 2 months back. Ring stay on Pac's nut's, Bob's talking ****
