Margarito is the perfect fighter for Pac

[borikua]

If you are Bob Arum:

* He's a punching bag without the plaster.

* The guy will probably fight for peanuts, more money for Bob's pocket.

* Won't dare to ask for OST testing.

* match him with Pac before Plasterito gets expose.


Bob is a genious.

This is cherry picking at its finest.

Arum is a very smart guy when it comes to picking Pacquiao's opponents. They have to be the following....

1. Coming off a big KO loss

2. Willing to drain down to a catchweight

3. Willing to fight for peanuts

4. Flat footed, without any lateral movement

Margarito ticks all the boxes!

Margarito is the monkey wrench to Bob's plan!!I think he has a better chance than most people are giving him!!We'll see!!

[borikua]

I'm pretty sure he was counting on Cotto to be damage goods when he match him with Yuri.

If Margarito wasn't with Top Rank i'd give him a little bit better of a chance. His style is perfect for Manny, the X factor would be that for as unskilled as he is, he's very tough. But since he's with Top Rank and not very likable by the boxing world outside of Top Rank it makes it hard to believe he won't lose on purpose like Clottey did. If he beats Manny down it would seemlike it would cost him more than just standing there with his hands up and losing on the card.

my issue with this fight is..how the hell is it for a title...manny never fought at 154..and tony is coming off of a suspension and just beat a journeyman....his record at 154 is 1-1-1

this is manufacturing at its finest...
