Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: "If Mayweather Doesn't Fight Me, No Problem"

[seal]

No need to keep fighting if Mayweather doesn't sign. It's best if Manny just calls it a career.

Margarito was the longest reigning champ in the division. Baldomir was a flash in the pan.

im not gonna sit here and lie and act as if i didnt think marg would be the tougher challenge for floyd but this is the same marg that was caught cheating...and we saw how he got knocked out when he didnt cheat and look what floyd did to the guy that beat marg

Well no one knew he was cheating back then so that's irrelevant. All we know is that he was the longest reigning champ and was heavily avoided.

wait are you saying that marg getting caught cheating does not discredit his past acomplishments?

[comanick]

That's because you never saw Baldomir fight before he fought Judah. Give me a break.

Well I have actually seen both of them fight many times. So i'll ask what qualities make marg better than baldi on a technical level really? They are both slow, they both have no defense, they both have good chins, there main offensive tact is to just come forward and throw alot of punches (marg more so). So really what stands out about Marg that makes him better. Honest question. I mean I think they are both mediocre.

No, what I'm saying is that Marg "getting caught" is irrelevant when discussing what could've or what might've been simply because no one knew back then.

What makes Margarito better? A far better jab, body puncher, combination puncher and (wait for this) defense. Not to mention had beaten far better opposition.

i agree...clottey made marg look real mediocre before braking his hands...but i think that marg had the better promoter and did a hell of a job selling to the public the notion that mag was the most feared fighter at that time

Idk it seems that your bothered by this as if you were a Marg fan or something. Im not trying to disrespect him i just dont think he was ever that good thats all. I thought it then and Marg has done nothing since to make me think otherwise. I think he is solid and if we had to put a number on it talent wise I would say he is a 7 while baldi is like a 6 .
