    No matter how you try to justify it, there is no good reason for Pacquiao to fight Margarito other than he's an in-house fighter and his b*tchass fans will buy it. Period.

To me Margarito makes more sense that those three you mentioned because in no way shape or form does Bradley or Berto deserve a shot. As far as Williams, dude hasn't fought at 147 and 154 in how long? please man. Dude needs to stop ducking Martinez.
      Can you understand why Floyd fans call you on this? Without all the name calling and other BS both sides do, it is hard to see pac fans give him a pass if he chooses to fight the most lucrative fight and not the best competition.

      When called on this, pac fans say things like well pac doesn't say he's the best and talk alot of **** about being the GOAT so its ok if he doesn't fight the best competition. Thats bull****.

      As long as pac fans hold manny to the same standard as floyd there is nothing any floyd fan can say. If manny fights berto,tim, or paul willimas that would shut every floyd fans mouth. But if he doesn't, then I expect all pac fans to judge his actions the same way they judge floyd.

        I can't believe you take that cornball seriously. This is the dude who said it makes no sense for Pac to fight Williams or Martinez because they don't have a belt. Paper title for the win!!

                Much respect but I absolutely will not purchase a fight with Margarito in it.

                    Well I speak for myself when I post so I have no idea if me and other pac fans thoughts and opinions coincide with each other.

                    With that said, I would actually be harder on Manny if he fought a guy like Berto because Berto has never proven himself as an elite or top tier guy. Margarito IMO beats both Bradley and Berto at 147 and definately at 154 so you can throw the "those guys are better fighters" arguement out the window.

                    I guess you are posting this in response to the flaming on Floyds opponent selections over the years. I have my opinion on it, but I rarely diss Floyd on the fights I disagree with. FWIW I have always given Floyd credit for his win over Mosley and have never said **** about Mosley age etc. As far as Baldomir, I have also said that fight made the most sense at the time and have also never knocked Foyd for that choice as well.

                    My thing is this; It's no secret that I dislike Floyd. Seeing that is the case, I don't care about his career, who he fights etc. If he were to fight Matthew Hatton, I might laughed to myself, but I won't be on here campaigning and protesting against his opponent selection for the simply fact I could give a **** about him or his career.

                    As far as Manny fighting the best competition, he absolutely has. No one goes out and facing the number 1 guy each and every time (this isn't a video game or something) but his resume is liter with top tier guys for the most part

                    at 126 he fought the #1 guy and a fighter who I have in the top 5 of alltime at that division in Barrera. He also fought the highly avoid Marquez when other champs weren't willing to so.

                    at 130 he fought ATG Erik Morales and Marquez for the lineal title

                    at 135....no lie I will give you that but Diaz was still a top 5 guy. Manny was suppose to fight Campbell vs Diaz winner but DLH came so we would never know how his career would have turned out.

                    at 140 he beat the #1 guy in Hatton. Hatton was clearly the man of that division and his resume etc ****ting on everyone elses at the time. The only other guy people were wanting him to face was Ortiz and looking back on things, did we really want to see that esp seeing what happened in the Maidana fight

                    at 147 he has fought two top 5 WW's in Cotto or Clottey all within a 6 month time frame. IMO that is pretty impressive

                    as far as his next opponent, I absolutely agree that Margarito is the best option. He is better than Bradley or Berto, is a bigger draw and has put in more work than both of those guys combined.

                    With Williams and Martinez, those guys are MW's and if they were campaigning at JMW or had a title, then we can talk. I say title because Manny is only going to JMW for a title or a shot at one, because he has stated over and over again that 154 is too much for him.

                      tired of it all. Fight Berto. or Bradley in that order. Pac still gets paid no matter what. Arum please.

                      Cotto and Cheato are not credible opponents. Does anyone really want to see Margarito get a payday?
