By Keith Idec - ARLINGTON, Texas — Based on the reception he has received from mostly Mexican fight fans here, Antonio Margarito clearly convinced some people that he wasn’t at all aware of the hard pads Javier Capetillo slid inside his hand wraps on that infamous night 21 months ago at Staples Center.

“The Tijuana Tornado” even convinced some seemingly very naive people that he wasn’t mocking Freddie Roach’s brave battle against Parkinson’s disease during that disgusting Internet video that surfaced earlier this week.

Tonight, though, he’ll have to prove perhaps the most unbelievable story he has tried to sell over the past few months — that he is capable of beating Manny Pacquiao.

Margarito might own size and strength advantages entering their 12-round fight for the WBC super welterweight title, but there is nothing about their contrasting recent histories that should convince anyone that Margarito is going to stop Pacquiao’s recent run of dominance when they square off tonight at Cowboys Stadium (HBO Pay-Per-View; $54.95).

Even reporters are becoming ****ing ******s over Pac and this business.

A glaring, and very ****** mistake is claiming Margarito to be a 154 and 147 pound champion. Margarito has never been a 154 champ. He has two, from memory, shots at the title and lost both.

Really not hard to check for a supposed journalist.

Also, another ******, ignorant mistake is all these supposed journalists that keep damn well claiming Pac/Clottey did 51,000. How many more times do these ******s need to get told that it only 36,000 and that another 5,000 tickets were given away. Sounds more like a Pac journalist than a boxing journalist.

How do these people get jobs anyway? They can't even check really simple, basic facts.....

Quit being naive

Are you guys deaf to all the BS Roach says, your not so naive to know how the world really works? corruption is part of the day, unfortunately. Roach cheats when he does all these catch weights and when he only takes one easy fight for each weight class. All these igmo writers are just selling papers (well ads and attention nowadays). Roach has said so many offensive things to other boxing camps that what he gets back he deserves, quit acting like he's innocent, he is the instigator. So who in their right mind would care how people make fun of him. he deserves it, all these writers sell this 8 paper weight wins. Only fights guys that have already been losing or takena recent beating, how in the world can that be called a winner. Sorry, i don't work at Wal-Mart, so I know what all this BS is about. Valour has left boxing years ago, so understand what marg did is no different than what Roach and Mosley did in fights. it's all equal because it's all slight of hand, so get off your Walmart high horse.

At least in MMA they don't play all this nonsense, with support from these internet writers.

why do the tears start flowing every time there's a manny pacquiao article? dude is the best out there right now and he gets his love, chill the **** out. and making fun of a deadly disease that destroys lives and rips apart families is not "fair game". i hope that piece of **** never has to deal with something like that, cause it's not fun or funny. way to class up the joint rios, i hope a few laughs was worth pissing on your reputation as a human being.

After seeing Margarito making fun of Freddie Roach...it really showed the type of person Margarito is. Now it is very clear that the use of plaster in his gloves was intentionally done with his consent. It really showed that Margarito enjoys seeing a sick person in agony. To Antonio Margarito even an "attempted murder" is just a laughing matter. We saw him on 24/7, he can not talk about the illegal wrapping incident facing the camera...unless he is wearing dark eyeglasses.
