WOW...just wow!
We are witnessing history in the making and all most can do is complain about it! If you would've told me 10 years ago,Manny Pacquiao would be going a title in an 8th division I wouldnt have believed you. Nobody, I repeat nobody has done it, not Ali,not SRR ,SRL,The Hitman(the real one lol)Duran or RJJ. De La Hoya is the closest with 6(ten titles tho!).
I dont really care for his opponent,Margarito but that has no bearing on Pac-Man putting himself in position to seize this illustrious opportunity. The naysayers say what has he done @ 154 to fight for a title? He can fight anyone else, why Margarito? I say all thats up for debate but whats not is, that Manny has conducted himself as the consumate professional and ambassador of our sport and has been rewarded as such. And the catchweight thing right? Well,as far as the catchweight goes, the limit for a jr. welterweight fight is 154 lbs, not the minimum. So if Margarito (really a 147lber) agrees then it is what it is. Dont hate the player hate the game.
