Manny ducked Mosley. Floyd ducked Margarito and Cotto. So between them they ducked the best Welterweights in the world. So therefore they need to fight each other lol.
So the verdict is NO FIGHT for Mayweather. It's Pacman versus Margarito on Nov 13. http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news;_ylt=AhJfACLcZQcNztYNv9IWsECUxLYF?slug=ki-pacquiaomargarito072310
Yeah that is ****ing terrible. Pointless fight for Manny. He gains nothing from this win, and yes he will win. I hope Manny beats the living **** out of that cheater, worse than Shane did.
well it's going to be more exciting than his previous fight against clottey. hvn't see a lot of Margarito's fight but I hope Pacman wins. I hope you're saying this not just because you hate this cheater.
No I'm saying it because Tony has no head movement, terrible defense, and he is super slow and just keeps coming forward. Tony's defense is his chin. That is how he stops punches. Thing is, when they are coming in combination, he won't be able to take all of them. That was Cotto's problem, he landed clean bombs right to the chin, but he never threw combos. He landed them one or two at a time, that is why he was never able to stop Margarito. Mosley on the other hand was relentless, he went straight at Marg and never let up. That is what Pac is going to do.. I say this fight ends in a 8th or 9th round TKO. There will definitely be more action than in the Clottey fight, but this does nothing for Manny's career.
The question of whether Roach or Pac dodged Mosley simply because he was Mosley is debatable, but far from clear... however the idea that they dodged Mosley to fight Clottey is unquestionably erroneous and idiotic. Mosley DID approach Roach to fight Pacquaio, but back in the spring of 2009 PRIOR to Pac agreeing to fight Cotto. That was the ONLY window of opportunity to make Pac v Mosley. As ur quote from the LA times suggested, Roach was agianst Pac v Mosley but that was because he was in FAVOR of Pac v Cotto, for two simple reasons. Money and Style. Pac v Cotto was a much bigger fight monetarily than Pac v Mosley... not only are they both arum fighters, cotto was also the bigger draw than Mosley. Furthermore despite Cotto having beaten Mosley, it was arguably in Roach's estimation the better stylistic match for Pacquaio. Heres a timeline demonstrating how it is impossible for Pacquaio to have spurned Mosley in favor of Clottey, especially since when Pac agreed to fight Clottey... Mosley had already been contracted to fight Berto for more than two and a half months. Mosley agreed to fight Berto the first week November 2009, Pacquaio and Mayweather negotiation begins Nov 2009 Pacquaio and Mayweather canceled Jan 6 2010 Pacquaio agreed to fight Clottey Jan 8 2010 Mosley's fight with Berto was canceled Jan 18th 2010 A simple google search can easily verify these dates and events.
This Pac vs Marg should be an interesting fight. I think Marg has a chance if the fight is at 154. Another tuneup for the Mayweather fight. Maybe Mayweather fights Paul Williams or Sergio Martinez.
May won't be fighting Paul Williams, Martinez would be interesting but whats more likely is him fighting a Cotto or Clottey. Floyd won't fight Manny until Roger's case is settled. The reason because he actually take Manny serious as a threat and don't want to go into the fight without a trainer he know will have him ready. If he takes another fight and his father does a good job he might reconsider.
Total BS. Give boxing fans what they want. I love boxing but this is why us boxing fans have to defend the sport so much. Because bs politics and egos get in the way of making the biggest fight in the past few decades happen.
I never said they ducked Mosley to fight Clottey. I said it was a bull**** excuse that Freddie gave to not fight Shane (the money) yet they fight a boxer who isn't well known at all.
Should be an interesting short fight but of all the Mexican fighters they could have picked they went with Margarito??
Margarito is not going to get a license in the US. He should be banned for life for what he did. Boxing is a dangerous sport and doing what he did could kill someone.
It be pretty badass if the fight happens in Mexico... Manny goes to a hostile dangerous environment to fight Margarito while Margarito pulls out all the cheats and tricks to his advantage to win the fight... It's like going to the jungle before fighting the lion (Mayweather).. When he beats Margarito he has that mental toughness and confidence whenever he gets the chance to fight Mayweather...
I can't believe people want to see that piece of **** Margarito fight. He should be banned for life for what he did. Even if you put all that aside, how is he even a credible opponent? After they took the plaster out of his hands he proceeded to get destroyed by Shane Mosely. He looked shot in his last fight in decisioning Roberto Garcia. Garcia is a can that was supposed to make him look good. Arum screwing the fans by keeping the money in house. I won't even watch this and that's saying something
I agree that Margarito does not deserve this fight. But since there is no Mayweather fight right now, who would you rather see him fight until then? P Williams is a mismatch and not Cotto again. Mosley already has a fight lined up. Maybe a showdown at 140 with one of the young studs? Perhaps a final JM Marquez showdown if Diaz doesn't spark him out? Andre Berto is another one.
I would have liked to see Williams (I do agree that it's a really bad fight for Manny though), Bradley or Berto. I don't think the third fight with JMM will ever happen. Marquez can't go higher then 140 and be even close to effective and I don't see Manny trying to make 140 again honestly. Add Martinez to that list and those are the only names that I want to see Floyd fight as well. Other then that, I'm not watching. Margarito is a disgrace to the sport. I can't stand him. I will forever believe that he beat Cotto's career out of him and I still can't fathom how PWill went toe to toe with him while taking loaded gloves to the face.
