    Foreman uses his size he would have boxed Manny and the size would have made a difference in this fight. Margarito is not a true JrMW his size is not an issue and is a come forward brawler with no defense.


    and obviously a Margarito fight would sell more

          heck, even Oscar "threw" his fight for Pac.

          3 FIXED FIGHTS for Pac.
          Do you really beleive that?!! First, why would a big star like Oscar Dela Hoya who owns a big promotional outfit, who is a future HOF risk his life of being brain damaged with the beating he took from Manny and allow himself to be a human punching bag for 9 rounds. What benefit will he get from losing to Manny, an asian midget, a former flyweight, when in fact it was a humiliating lost for Oscar, why will he do that to his career. While a win from Manny will open more doors for Oscar, if ever, future big money fights with Hatton and maybe a rematch with Floyd. And now with Toney Margarito, a win with Manny will benefit him more, a win will erase totally the stigma of being a cheater, will once again catapult his career up and be called again a true champion and will even be beneficial in getting back his license much quicker. Now if Toney looses it might spell the end of his career and it will be harder for him to get back his license even with Oscar's help. Because if Toney looses, everybody will think that he was only able to win his big fights cheating with loaded gloves. I think Toney is more motivated to win rather than intentionaly loose the fight, because he is trying to regain a life he once had before that fiasco in the Mosley fight... You think about that boy...

            I thought it was confirmed that the quote about Foreman's size was taken out of context?

                Oscar has been in the ring with much bigger stronger punchers like Bernard Hopkins, Felix Sturm, Ike Quartey, Fernando Vargas, Tito Trinidad.
                There's nothing that Pac could do in the ring against Oscar, that Oscar has not seen and felt.

                "open doors for oscar"???? you say.
                Oscar is already a box-office attraction and holds the records for the highest PPV fights than anyone else.
                Oscar dont need a "win" over pac. Oscar can fight any unknown bum, and he'll still get high PPV draws.

                Oscar co-promotes Pac and gets a % of Arum's take of Pac's purses.
                Thats why Oscar is heavily investing in pac, so that he can "milk in" as much asian $$$$ from all over the world.

                Margarito needs to lose to pac as part of a FIXED FIGHT bribe deal, or else Oscar wont get him a boxing license anywhere in the US, ever.

                If Margarito did not agree to a FIXED FIGHT with Pac, he dont fight in the US and doesnt get a 6-7 Million $$$$, and will only fight in Mexico for less money agaionst B and C level boxers.

                margarito never cheated, because he tried to use plaster inserts against a STEREOID user-Shane Mosley that night.
                Mosley was on steroids the night they fough, which is why Margarito tried to "level out the playing field" against an EPO Steroid filled Mosley that night.

                margarito was cheated in the past with Mosley, and was scapegoated, and now Oscar is BRIBING him with a deal, he'll never get:

                Throw the fight and get licensed, or you dont get to fight Pac, and no licensing.

                It was Oscar that had the Texas commission deny Margarito a license 6 months ago, and now Oscar gets him a license now, for the Pac fight.

                Its a FIXED FIGHT.

                  You do know that Foreman got the living **** beat outta him leading up the Pac vs DLH?

                  That was just a nice way to say "Foreman sukks and is a waste of time". Not once but on two occassion, IIRC, Manny beat the living **** outta foreman in sparring.

                    Or maybe Arum didn't want Pac to hurt his baby?

                    Or maybe you took that quote out of context?
