      Margarito was a full time welterweight. Manny hasnt even fought above Welterweight limit. thats probably one of the reason. if Manny will have a success fighting in a jr middleweight i expect him to challenge a full time jr middleweight. if not he'd probably go back to welterweight where he really belong.

        Are people here actually trying to say Yuri Foreman is a harder fight than Antonio Margarito?

        Really?

            i saw the tv interview the articles were quoting.

            the interview was not in english.

            basically pacquiao's reason was "that it'd be a boring fight and not exciting for the fans because of how yuri fights and how yuri will use his height."

            something like that.

            pacquiao never said he was too tall.
            LMAO!..

            It got misquoted that horribly!!?..Nah..I doubt that..

              i'm talking about when the articles were quoting pacquiao as saying foreman was too tall.

              not what roach said.

                  arum wanted foreman to fight cotto in the worst way and beat him so he could have his "new star" because he thought he could be cotto and cotto is still a big name in boxing. But he knew he couldn't beat pacquiao thats why pacman didn't fight him. Bob was looking out for his wallet again with his new star but MIGUEL ANGEL COTTO ****ed up his plans

                    foreman was too big of a risk and not enough money involved. no one knew how good foreman truly was. cotto beat him down obviously but that fight had a lot of questions that needed to be answered about both guys. foreman didn't really deserve the fight anyway. i do think pacquiao would have certainly prevailed, esp after watching cotto beat him. i won't say that it was a great fight (cotto-foreman) but it was certainly dramatic seeing yuri fight his ass off. although id love to see a rematch - i hope it doesn't happen for the sake of yuri's career.

                      or he wanted cotto to get a comeback win and get a belt in a new division.

                      i don't know why cotto fans seem to think arum hates cotto or something.

                      arum has been good to cotto and good for his career and bank account.


                      because cotto got ktfo by margarito and pacquiao doesn't mean arum doesn't like him.

                      cotto was suppose to beat margarito. cotto had a good chance of beating pacquiao going in.
