    Found this interesting.....

    E-Mailer: "One little thing about Pac-Margarito. Everybody is pissed that he is getting this shot at Pacquiao. Well, for years he deserved a shot and no one was giving it to him so this is his payback. That’s how life works I guess."
    -- Steve, Montréal

    Doug Fischer: "I hadn’t thought about it that way, but you’re right about Margarito being avoided by the high-profile welterweight champs (until Miguel Cotto had the balls to get in there with him). When Margarito was THE RING’s No. 1-rated welterweight none of the champs -- from Cory Spinks to Zab Judah to Carlos Baldomir to Floyd Mayweather -- wanted to see him in the ring."

    I remember all the threads made back then that asked about "Who is the most feared fighter"

    The top 3 fighters whose names were mentioned were Margarito, P-Willy and Glen Johnson.....

    Not condoning or supporting the fight with Pac...but someone definately thought out of the box on this one....

    Imagine the nightmare for boxing if the villain Margarito beat Manny P.

      I dont remember either Spinks, Judah or Baldomir ever having an offer from either Margarito.

            Bull**** he cheated in the worst possible way and got caught and hasn't admitted it. That he didn't get a fight earlier has nothing to do with it. Top Rank has clearly promised Doug Fischer something for defending marg so vociferously

                Cheaters shouldn't get rewarded...I stand 100% behind that comment...but I highly doubt Bob would give a peon like Doug anything....

                  Diddn't mean for my reply to come off as a challenge Ray....but I know where your comin from...I too don't recall any topics regarding fights being negotiated or on the table for Margarito vs. Zab/Baldo/Spinks......we all know though that he did fight P-Willy and Floyd said he was a nobody/ rec'd more money and titles to fight Baldo....

                    It makes sense in an odd way, but Margarito doesnt deserve this fight.
