Do you think Manny Pacquiao is taking a challenge by fighting Antonio Margarito?

I don't want a ***** circle jerk in this thread.



Simple question, do you think they were thinking that tony was going to be a challenge when they chose him as the opponent for the 8th divisional title? I mean I don't believe so since roach clearly states that he has no defense, really slow and they'll easily KO him.

yes it will be a tough fight because of Margs size and chin pac gets hit and Margs throws tons of punches. I still see Pac winning clearly but it should be exciting for as long as it lasts.

Margarito is the next highest paying fight for Pacquiao, His team said that themselves, Boxers would alway look at the money first before anything else..And yes winning a 8th title in a different weight class is a challenge no matter what anyone else says.

Whats Roach supposed to say?

It is certainly a challenge if Margarito has something left. Its not the greatest challenge but a challenge nonetheless.

I believe taking a challenge would've been fighting Martinez/Williams.

Big risk yes and a bigger challenge..

Cheato is quite the punching bag whose granite chin has already been cracked. He is very slow and his defense is his chin.

Cotto was a bigger threat to Manny. Size, although helpful, doesn't win fights. Skillz does and cheato is quite short on skills.

I don't see it being very competitive at all. Unless Manny decides to stand in front of cheato to please the fans.

The fight is FIXED.

They chose Tony, cause they knew that they can have Oscar bribe Tony into "throwing" the fight in exchange for getting licensed in CA and NV, since it had been revoked by them, and Oscar has nationweide control over Margarito's licensing.
