    Its not Manny's fault to be this good

    Some might criticize Pacquiao for taking on Antonio Margarito because they dont see him like a legit challenge for him but hey, that challenge and high risk is all over this fight and nobody can deny it.

    Yes, because his abilities Pacquiao is being widely favored to win this fight but it doesn't eliminate the fact that Pacquiao is fighting a huge, durable opponent with a solid chin and who is a volume puncher and the fact that he is testing new waters alone these conditions.

    Just make this quick exercise, for a moment think of any other boxer in the world the size of Pacquiao fighting Antonio Margarito at 150 lbs. and being favorite or with a realistic chance of winning the fight. Now give me the his name and lets figure out.

    Dont blame Pacquiao for being this good, instead blame the others for not being as good as they should.

    Saying this is a mismatch shows how good Pac is considered. Nobody has ever had an easy fight with Margarito, and nobody i can think of margarito fighting where it would be considered a mismatch.

    It certainly aint a mismatch thats for sure.

      well it's funny that some people (mostly *****s) here in nsb considers margarito a cherry pick for pacquiao. ironically, they don't consider pac that good of a fighter.

        We can blame Pacquiao for being that good because he has to work at it. Of course, that begs the question of the necessity of blame assignment.

          Refer to 'Shane Mosley Vs. Antonio Margarito' via youtube etc.

          This isn't Margarito of 2006, if it were and Manny smoked him (which i believe he would even with that version of Margarito) then this would apply, as of now, it doesn't.

            It's expected.

            Almost every succesful person in the past and in the present gets criticized.

              If this is true, then how come a lot of people criticize the Klit bros? They say that they are dominant because it's the worst HW division ever and that's the reason they are so dominant and not because they are really that good.
