So why exactly is Margarito not worthy foe for Pacman?

[Spray_resistant]

But thats the thing he isn't just a disgraced cheater. A year and a half ago he was the best welterweight in the world and he's still a 3 time ww champ. He's way more qualified than Clottey thats for sure and I thought Clottey at least on paper would be a stiff challange for pacman.

Marg should at least have to beat someone good and prove that he is world class.........all things considered and after everything that has happened.

margarito #1 ranked ww status went down the drain when we found out hes been loading up his gloves

cotto was the true #1 ww and pacquiao beat dat ass hardcore so pacquiao is the lineal 147 champ

[Nuurzhaelan]

And none of those things do not make him the former number 1 ww in the world or a man that in the prime of his career was always mentioned as an opponent for the #1 fighter in the world.

And as far as him losing what you have to be undefeated to fight pac now?

Seriously one has nothing to do with the other.

Yeah, actually having loaded gloves means he had an unfair advantage. While it cannot be proven, it casts such a dark cloud over his 'achievements' that his record is permanently stained. I simply do not believe he chose to cheat against Mosley for the first time when he was on top and heavily favored to win. Someone was, or many were, involved in this loading of the gloves for a long, long time.

Who's more deserving than Cotto or Margarito?

I can't think of a soul. Maybe Martinez, but I doubt it.

And wouldn't that dark cloud go away if he beats the best fighter in the world?? The same fighter that beat the **** out of Cotto as well??

Are you Cotto fans too scared to face the truth if Margarito wins?? Another shot to your big ego??

It's your right to think that, but nobody has ever proved that in any of his other championship fights where wraps were checked by commissions and the opposing corner as protocol in big fights. He's had big fights forever.

Margs gloves will be checked by everyone very closely now so it is a non-issue.

So you're implying it's about money?

Of course it is especially when they spent the last month trying to secure a deal with the most qualified opponent for pac period(Floyd Mayweather Jr).

It's simple if you can't get the most skilled guy who can bring in a ton of money for your fighter, you find another fighter who can bring in a lot of money and can still make a fight exciting but is still a solid underdog.

Seriously you guys calling Pac a cherry picker for fighting Tony forget that pac's team was only spending the last month trying to negotiate a fight against the other top PFP fighter of the decade.

[Twako]

pac-marg isnt the greatest fight out there but i could understand why it could happen and others not. the big size diff alone and at 154 makes this fight intriguing.

*****s are a bunch of hypocrites bashing this fight when floyd's homestretch career has been to retire and avoid tony,miguel,shane,pwill. then unretire to fight a bloated fw and an aging mosely w/ the help of an earthquake.

you *****s think floyd would face a higher risk southpaw martinez when he's already scared ****less of pac? or face a non-ppv earning fighter in bradley or alexander? gimme a break

[infamous larryx]

He's not coming off a loss numbskull he won his last fight and half of you people want him to fight Shane. Didn't Shane himself just lose a fight?


Make up your ***ing minds!!

if that's the case then why did they fight Joshua Clottey in March?
