What's wrong with pacquiao/margarito?

[cortdawg25]

What isn't wrong with this fight?

-Margarito got destroyed by Shane Mosley. The same Shane Mosley that Floyd detractors say is old. The same Shane mosley who got embarrassed by Floyd Mayweather!

-Margarito last real fight was against Shane Mosley in Jan of 09 and he is now scheduled to fight Pac in Nov of 10. Margarito has done nothing but fight a tune up fight against a Garcia who hasn't done even 1/2 as much as Margarito as of late because of a suspension. So Margarito has been or will be out of action for about 22 months.

-Margarito doesn't even have a license yet after he got suspended for having bricks in his gloves prior to the Shane mosley fight. maragrito shouldn't even be fighting!

-the fight is also a title fight being fought at a weight that neither fighter as really campaigned at. they are fighting for vacant title that neither fighter has earned a right to pursue

-The vacant title fight is not even being fought at the jr MW limit. It is being fought at a catchweight of a whopping 150 lbs!!! a 150LBs!!!! A vacant title is being fought at catchweight people!!!

Despite all this, I hear no real criticism. Why isn't the boxing media going on a tirade against this fight. The idea of this is blasphemy! There is so much wrong with this ****age of history by Team pacquiao and Top Rank...that it is almost funny. Oh yeah I forgot this will be Manny's attempt at a 8th title at his 8th weight class. Nevermind all of the above and the fact that Margarito is more stationery than Cotto and Clottey combined, Nevermind this hi******* of history...it is all OK because it is Manny Pacquiao. The charming, humble, congressmen of the Phillipines, Fighter of the Decade Pacquiao....all hail!

this makes me sick!

When U talk about catchweight championships,usually at least 1 of the combatants is actually a champion,in this case,neither are champ!!Fights like this shouldn't be in ppv!!This fight is a sham,"don't get me wrong,I'm watching it",but if Pacman is truly this elite fighter,on another level,then why doesn't he fight the Punisher or Martinez,U know the 2 top fighters at 154,impress me Manny,Margarito for the title is all smoke & mirrors!

Only the fans of both fighters try to defend this fight. Even some of the Pacquiao fans do not like this fight. margachito has few fans left. Those that remain are as infatuated with him as Pacquiao's most ardent fans. There is nothing to recommend this fight. It is a travesty; a mockery of the sport and hopefully most fans, casual and hardcore, can see that. I think it will be remembered in ignominy.

I certainly don't agree with this fight, but it's easy to play the game you're playing.

What wasn't wrong with Mayweather-Mosley?

-It was the same Shane Mosley that got beat and looked old vs. Miguel Cotto, who Pacquiao destroyed.

-Mosley hadn't fought in 14 months, and had been training for a completely different fight.

-He took steroids.

Do I believe any of that? No, but it's easy to do.

What was wrong with Marquez/Mayweather? This one would be too easy. But Floyd fans were treating it like the fight of the century. And if you don't believe it was, if you feel it was a "tune up" fight, then the threads you should be making should have the title:

"Why is Floyd only fighting once every 100 years?"

blame the ***** on your avatar for taking a 'vacation'.

except that mosley was thee man of the division...the champion! And mosley actually destroyed margarito, he lost a close fight to cotto when cotto was cotto! Also mayweather/mosley wasn't at a catchweight and it wasn't for a vacant title either. Mayweather/mosley was legit...this is not!

mayweather/marquez was for no titles - vacant nor catchweight title for one.

It was a tune up fight for two

it wasn't for floyd's 6th title in his 6th different weight class being fought at weight below the limit. It was just a fight...a statement fight actually.

Floyd wanted to make pac's greatest foe look easy and he did!

2501,bojangles, verdugo still haven't answered the question or place their attacks at the right target.

Floyd ain't got nothing to do with pacquiao hi******* history!!! When will u guys start to criticize manny? Why aren't yall holding manny to the same standard as floyd? He number 1 right?

I have criticized Pac for this ridiculous joke of a fight. You got the last few reasons right, this fight is horrible because it is a catchweight fight for a title neither holds, completely cutting out fighters who have earned that shot. It is also very ridiculous because Margarito does not deserve a fight this big so soon after what he attempted to do against Mosley. I will not buy this fight and I will give Pac very little if any credit for winning.

But those first couple of reasons were not very good reasons, just trying to show how easy it is to completely discredit a fighter.
