Pacquiao to Fight Margarito in November

Re: Pacquiao to Fight Margarito in November

Andre Berto - and he's arguably one who NObody wants and it's nothing to do with him being a Haitian-American fighter either.

@Grunt - For you to imply Pacquiao is ducking black fighters is ridiculous and laughable, especially after he was ducked by PBF. Floyd won't fight Pac and would much sooner get in the ring with his baby mama and beat on her for free.

Do you think Manny can beat Shane?

Re: Pacquiao to Fight Margarito in November

Pac eventually agreed to each and every one of Money's demands. Before he agreed to fight Margarito. They set a deadline for Mayweather to once and for all (on 100% of Floyd's terms) agree to fight Pac. He still refused to fight him.

If that's not ducking I don't know what is. Manny shouldn't have to agree to anything above and beyond what the commissions require of him but in the end he caved and gave in to Mayweather and Mayweather still wouldn't fight him.

Do you have sources?

Re: Pacquiao to Fight Margarito in November

About the race thing.. Why is it, if you are a white American fighter you are just white, not European American. Mosley is a 'black' fighter born in America.. Not African American. If you want to talk about African Americans lets use Frans Botha for IE.. He really is African American since he was born in South Africa. That's how lame it is..

Pac hasn't fought a fighter with a combination of speed(mobility), quickness (hand speed),and power of Mosley.

When PBF and Manny fight we will see why defense beat offense. Offensive fighters are popular because the style appeals to casual fans. I put my money on a slick defensive fighter.

I shouldn't have name an ethnicity but rather a style of fighter.

Re: Pacquiao to Fight Margarito in November

Anyone here other than Grunt thinks MOSLEY will beat Pac??? I don't know what else Manny could do to prove that he's the best out there right now..

Just for the sake of argument, Mosley beat a shook and drained Margarito. Margarito had to lose 35lbs in 6 weeks before he fought Mosley THEN he was cought cheating THEN fought Mosley. If you want to think of an excuse/reason to get beat/knocked out I don't know if you could make a better one than that.

We all know PBF won't fight Pac so that's out, I really hope he fights Berto so all these non sense would stop. Mosley is 39 and if he fights Pac I'd bet my mother in law on Pac.

Re: Pacquiao to Fight Margarito in November

What are you thoughts on the possibility of Berto, should he win his next bout?

What weight does he walk around at, who is bigger/smaller between PBF, Margarito and Berto?

Berto/ Pac will never happen. Berto's promoter Haymon and Arum hate each other. There is no way that deal gets done.

Arum already named who is next if PBF doesnt want to fight. It will be either Cotto or Mosley. Those are two fights NOBODY wants to see.

Also PBF isnt ducking Pac. PBF didnt want to fight this fall. A duck would be if Floyd was fighting someone else this fall. Pac wanted to fight in Nov. PBF didnt. Arum set some fake arbitrary deadline to show up PBF and PBF didnt respond. I'll be shocked if this fight isnt made in early 2011.

How many fighters can come back from a year suspension and take on the 1 (or two) P4P fighter and win?

Not many but I dont think it will affect PBF much. He only fought twice a year in recent years and he didnt look bad against Marquez when he took a year off.

Can I just say how funny all of our biases for 'our' fighters are? I can't be the only one that notices that when Floyd came out with the drug testing thing, all the Pac fans jumped out of the woodwork saying that Pac had to take a stand against Floyd and show that he doesn't answer to Floyd and it's a matter of pride not to let him boss them around or whatever. Then Arum sets some BS deadline for Mayweather that Mayweather ignores and now Pac fans are running with that as a reason that PBF is ducking Pac because he wouldn't allow Arum to dictate when and what he does?

Manny would absolutely destroy Shane. I don't think it would be close at all to be honest.

As far as Pac agreeing to the blood tests just Google it. It's all over the Web.
Both Pac, Roach and even Golden Boy execs such as DLH and Richard Schaefer confirmed that Pac gave in to all of Mayweather's demands.

Dana White bumped into Floyd in Vegas a couple of months ago and asked when he's going to finally fight Pac. Floyd's answer "I'm not that desperate". Not one thing was mentioned about blood testing.

Floyd's only interested in attacking from behind a firewall where he can upload horrifically ignorant and racist diatribe's against Pacquio.

To be fair, I think a Floyd-Pac fight is a coin-flip. However, we'll never know because to me, and to many others, it appears Floyd is scared because he knows that Pac is the toughest challenge he could ever face and is petrified of losing that perfect record.

You can't be serious. It's everywhere.

Where the last fight was canceled, it was because Mayweather wanted a 14 day cut-off on the blood tests and Manny wanted a 24 days cut-off. But Pacman has softened his stance and here is why,
"I am willing to help the sport for the future of the sport. I do not want to see anyone cheat or cheat this sport. For that reason I am willing to consider taking blood as close as 14 days prior to the fight, as long as, my opponent does the same, and it is not a lot of blood, just enough to test," Pacquiao said and continued,

Remember what happened after Manny broke down and agreed to Floyd's terms?

Floyd then went and backed off Olympic style tested and demanded same day testing before the fight. He just up and created his own criteria. He backed out of 3rd party mediation the first time and then got what he wanted the second time around. What more does Manny have to do to make a fight with this cry baby?

The "stand" ultimately has no value. Manny agreed to Olympic style testing and PBF still wouldn't fight him.
