Margarito doesn't deserve a shot. At all.

Why not? Care to explain?

I think the onus is on Team Pacquiao to explain if there's any other reason for him getting one other than the fact that he's Top Rank, O.S.I.R.I.S.

[any craic lad?]

Id really prefer if Tony had atleast one more warm up fight sure he didnt even fight a full 12 rounder since Mosley

Timmy Chans:

For me that is part of it. The difference in how they reacted when caught. Marg said he had no idea about the plaster and acted as if he were the victim. Mosley at least owned up to it. The other part is Margarito is not an American citizen. Mexico, where he is a citizen, is not banning him. Why can't he just fight there? He can make enough to earn a living. He has no right to fight here.

If Floyd-Manny doesn't happen and the negotiations fail again (based on the comments I've read, I'm seriously not so sure they are actually going on), expect Arum to announce this fight the very NEXT day. And for the record, Tony has done NOTHING to get a fight with Manny. But I've been saying that Arum is going to keep his money in house and build up these fights as being the next best thing, I aint buying it.

I'm thinking if floyd manny doesn't happen Manny should fight Berto. I just don't think he can fight another Top Rank guy and generate public interest outside of boxing fans.

LOL....Dawg lets keep it real for a minute.

No way does Haymon allow Manny to weasel out of a Floyd fight and then give him Berto. Don't see that happening.

I don't believe Shane anymore than I believe Marg. Ultimately, Shane apologized and admitted his use. Margarito has never done that. GBP acknowledged Shanes use. Bob Arum went along with Margarito even telling the US media he belived Marg when he said he didn't know. I get the point your making. I thought Shane should be tested for every fight after he admitted using. I think Margarito should be suspended for life. You could argue that I am somewhat hypocritical. Fine.

Marg doesn't have to fight in the US to make money. For loading his gloves, one of the great sins in boxing (sorta like football and baseball frown upon ******** more than they do steroids) and then acting so nonchalantly let Marg spend the rest of his professional career fighting outside the US so he doesn't get the chance to earn the large purses this country offers.
