Comments Thread For: Reading Between the Lines at Pacquiao-Margarito Weigh-in

[Tamis!]

That's what everyone said before DLH, Cotto and Hatton. That's what everyone is saying now.

...and I love it!

Yes Pac could easily make 140 but he don't wanna go down there. David Diaz is gone. And he wants no part of Bradley or Alexander trust me. 2nd Margarito is not a true jr middleweight if he was he would not be able to make 150. Mayweather is now a true welterweight and he couldn't make 144 to fight Marquez that's only 3 pounds off of 147 and Margs is now 4 pounds under the jr middleweight limit do the math! Margs should of came in heavier. I'm sure Pac didn't have a 10 million dollar penalty for every pound over weight. That's just Pac's own commission rules for Mayweather. I honestly had no problem with Pac so ever. But it's obvious he's not out to be the best he's just out there cheating history with his fake belts and catchweight title fights. At least Mayweather is honest about why he's in the sport.

So you saying he is afraid of alexander and bradley for some reason and pac own his own commisision rules. Just listen to what your saying


And why fawk it suddenly goes back to mayweather? Seriously get off floyds ***. This topic is about pac and margarito

[Mr. Philadel]

this is this era's Ray Leonard vs Donny Lalonde scrap....remember the size difference in that one?...remember the outcome? ....when the speed, talent and skill level is so far apart....the size factor can be thrown outta the window

I'm really amazed what perception can do out of a fight... and of course that Manny is a popular nice guy...

Let's take a look... Mayweather fought Mosley... and everybody is saying that Shane got old... he ain't prime Shane anymore and he also was inactive before he fought Mayweather...

Shane ain't got old overnight... he was old a long time before... he was also old as he gave Margarito the beating of a lifetime. After that Maragrito was also inactive... he fought now one journeyman... so basically the situation with this fight is even worse then May-Mosley... Margarito was also inactive and before that got an beating of an lifetime from a guy who was old.

Arum wouldn't let Pac into the ring with Margarito if he would pose a thread to him...

If Margarito should win... and that's a big IF (I don't even give him a 10% chance) it's just a sad showing what boxing has become... let's face it... there are weight classes for a reason... this match won't be a battle of skill... this is simply a size freak match for a paper 8th championship that nobody cares for...

You have seen what Cotto has done to Margarito with his skill alone in the first 6 rounds... Pacquiao doesn't stop, Pacquiao doesn't quit... I don't know if he knocks him out but my believe is that by the finals rounds Margarito's face should be a mass and this one has to be stopped or an UD for Pacquiao...

Again, if May would fight Margarito today everybody would say he was inactive and before that he got beaten by old man Mosley viciously and everybody would call for May to fight Mosley instead of Margarito... but that's the magic of being the nice guy...

One poster is abslolutely right... human beings want to be lied at... Pacquiao lies at you at tells you he does it for legacy, to be the best and and and... in the end Pacquiao is the same as every other boxer as well... they all search a respectable way of getting rich and famous... Mayweather is honest about and you hate him for that because he doesn't lie to you... he doesn't give you a chance of rooting for him because he is honest...

So let's get it on...

Great post, I agree with every point.

In the end, all the fighters really care about is the paycheck. Legacy matters too; but feeding your family comes first.

nice ....but Floyd needs to step his activity and comp level up a few notches right now....the boy Manny Pac is doing his thing but the smoking mirrors is my only problem with the lil warrior....you are ABSOULUTELY right about the nice guy perception and how Floyd would get bashed if he was fighting Marg....too much TRUTH in ya post so thats why that green was sent...Bless!!

And it's ok with me... they should take care of that - let's face it we cheer for them as long as they box... but after that what's left for thim with the exception of health issues probably... they should... I ain't fault Mayweather, DLH, Pac or whoever for it...

What I absolutely hate is that ppl always bring the personalities of these guys up... and try to make one the bad one and the other one the good one... nothing is as simple as black and white... there are always shades of other colours as well... they are not much different:

Both care about poor ppl and give out to them...
Both seem to have problems with their baby's mama...
Both are world class fighters...
Both want money...
and and and...

Absolutely Sekondz... I wanna see Floyd in the ring... I don't care about the other stuff... and I want him to fight Pacquiao and he will... I'm 100%... May isn't dumb (even though his actions outside of the ring sometimes have you wondering *lol*) and he knows that Pacquiao is his ticket to greatness... most fans of today wouldn't agree and try to bash it in any possible way... but history will help his case if he beats Pacquiao... Mayweather even though he talks about money... this dude is also about legacy... and he knows what Pacquiao means to him...

This is the match-up... let's face it... both combine pretty much everything a boxer needs to have... this could be the most skill-ful meaningful dream match ever... and I'm also positive that Mayweather wins... I mean Mosley old or not... nobody handled Mosley like May did... not even Winky or Vernon... and Mora yes made a real boring affair of it... but he was nowhere near close to anything May did with him... Mayweather has so much skill... Pacquiao is really the only guy I'm interested seeing May fight anymore... because nobody else can beat Mayweather... Pacquiao has a lot of tools that are needed to beat him... If Pacquiao ain't get's May outta there in about 4 rounds... it will be a long night for Pac and he will probably get ko'd

[chinoy]

what has Floyd got to do in this thread?

for the *****s out there, Floyd is facing the biggest challenge of his life.....his LEGAL issues after beating up a hapless woman....why dont you guys set up support for Floyd so that instead of going to jail, he could fight Pac

False, people have been asking for that fight since 2006.
