A fight with Margarito would do nothing for Pac's legacy

[-PANDA-]

Well he did beat Garcia to win an international belt. He has one of the 3-4 regional belts making him a top 5 candidate and seeing that the WBC has exhausted all the other options, I have no problems with them having Margarito ranked the way he is. I mean who else should be ranked as the number one contender considered those above him decided to pass up the opportunity to fill the vacancy.

I can see an argument for Ryan Rhodes and I know some UK boxing fans were upset at Tony being rated higher, but again this is the only person I can see anyone making a case for.

Fighting a lightweight at welterweight is what does nothing to your legacy.

a 154-lb title would mean history, b*tches!

you mean the p4p #3 who gave the p4p #1 his last (unofficial) loss and who was picked as a tune up?

Makes it no different from any other fight in his career. Pacquiao has been a protected fighter for this long, why would anything change now? He will never fight an elite athlete boxer cuz he knows he gets beat.

I agree. FWIW there was a push to make Margarito vs Angulo for a belt but I think the WBO or WBA is trying to force a fight between Angulo the interm champ vs Dzinzurick the regular champ. I think they order that fight just a few weeks ago...not that this means much.

Pac vs Margarito is pointless! Ill watch by stream or at a party but there is no way in hell I'm giving Marg a single dime of my hard earned money!

Honestly I feel that Margarito should face Rhodes for the vacant WBC title, Angulo faces Dzinzurick for to declare the real champ, and Cotto faces Spinks for a unification bout. Then the winners face each other and Pac can fight whoever emerges. This is how I feel its should be, but the champs at 154 are bul****tin.

im a pac fan.............and i completely agree with this.....................Cotto at 154 would be more acceptable imo........................

Jealousy will kill us all.

Just embrace the man who will make history.

this would be the ideal way of determining the #1 fighter at 154, great idea

unfortunately both dzinzurik and angulo are promoted by gary shaw and he has no plans of having them face eachother, at least not any time soon

margarito-angulo would also be huge in mexico

I can see your point but margo is still a top class fighter, no doubt on the level of mosley/cotto etc you cant get any higher than margo other than floyd

martinez is really huge, more like a 160 fighter, pac would be at too much of a disadvantage, its like tyson fighting roy jones when they were at their prime
