Which of these 2 evils are worse??

[Dagomba]

Pacquiao vs Margarito will go down in history because of the title at stake and it sets a bit of an unfair bar for future champions. Mayweather vs Marquez will be yet another pointless match.

So I say Arums/Sulaiman's deed of making Pacquiao vs Margarito a title fight.

i dont think its pac's choice to fight margarito, nor fight for a vacant 8th belt.
i say it's all arum's doing putting that fight, while on the other hand, floyd wanted marquez, and then showed up over the CW.

but as you guys would say, well pac had a choice to say NO to the margarito fight.
the pac-marg fight would be more evil then, but between pacman and floyd as a person, floyd is definitely more evil.

For the sake of argument, Pacquiao promotes the ban on condoms...

If he would have been pro birth control he wouldn't have gotten that hooker pregnant.

Foyd coming off the bench after 2 yrs to get some rounds in against a LW @ WW is NOT all THAT bad imo....but Manny gettin' the strap @ 150 against Marg was way too much....then to call it a record 8th world title was just so wrong!!...that was worse than Floyd fighting JMM imo....no titles or historic records were at stake...Manny got this one!!

I agree, good post with the exception of Mayweather refusing to adhere to the agreed upon catch weight.

Antonio Margarito had only fought once at 154 before fighting Pac at 150, and the fight before that he was <146 at the official weigh in. So I don't think he was drained. I wasn't too annoyed with it because Pac did the appropriate thing after the fight and vacated the belt essentially admitting that he had no business in that weight class and wanted to get a 154 title on his legacy while proving he could beat a bigger guy (even ODLH had to come in at 145 as we all recall). I'd say it wasn't a horrible pick but it didn't really prove as much about Pac's ability to fight @ LMW as they tried to sell us on.

I personally think what Floyd did was worse. The CW was less annoying than the fact that Floyd didn't try to make the weight, which I feel he was plenty capable of doing. Ultimately, I doubt sincerely that it would have made a big change in outcome of the fight... still, Marquez clearly didn't look nearly as good at that weigh in as you'd have hoped. The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth.
