I hope he wins because the prices are wrong (IMO).. no way he's a 5/1 shot.
Haha, i'd like to see him lose to Pacquiao, and the get beat by Cotto. Then retire.Quote:

and i agree with you fenster with the odds, i think people are writing him off too quickly, he isnt a weight drained oscar or cotto or an over the hill hatton, or a slow clotty, this is pacs first fight in a higher weight that his oponent is in top shape to compete
No.Quote:

No matter how you look at it, a Margarito win, is bad for boxing.

at the minute people are doubting his whole carear, boxing is in a hole because of the wraps
if he wins then that can go some ways to legitamising history
a win for margs would be good a bad defeat would raise all those questions again
It's Miguel Cotto's birthday.
Happy Birthday Angel!
Lol. I strongly dispute that.Quote:

Do you realize that he got redhandedly caught with attempted assault?
You're saying that it is okay for all fighters to cheat like he did, and get rewarded with big money fight instead of serving time in prison?
Boxing is in a hole because of the wraps? Yep, those handwraps are single-handedly destroying boxing :rolleyes:Quote:

I can't see anyway boxing wins with anything other than a Pacquiao win. Even if you don't like Pacquiao, you have to admit that. Win this & there's really no other money-making options out there for Arum to stick him in with. Khan won't be viable for Mayweather till he's proved definitivelly to be the best at 140, which will take him 2-3 fights. So a Pacquiao win here will mean that the two of them will almost certainly have to get it on.
It will be a new tax year & the weekend of May 7th is arguably the biggest of the year in Vegas. It will make more sense for the pair of them then it has at either point of the last 2 'negotiations'.
nope but perhaps a win would go a long way to suggesting the wraps might have been a one off and his previous wins werent due to that and he didnt deserve to go to prison, maybe boxing will get something backQuote:

and with the assault thing man, we are boxing fans and most boxers are from deprived backgrounds who live that way, i dont condone it but its part of the terratory
if you want a role model who will behave like a saint then boxing isnt the place for you

i didnt say that (see highlighted)
if margs wins pacs carear wont be over unless he chooses it to be, he will still be a big draw
i dont dislike pac by the way, he seems like a nice chap and is usually in good fights
Yes everyday I walk out to the streets to see people beating each other with plaster wrapped hands. :rolleyes:Quote:

And yes we saw how Margarito has fared without the wraps a long drawn out decision win in a gimme and getting pounded out by Sugar.

Pac's career won't be over, but a super-fight with Mayweather will lose almost all the lustre. Mayweather just battered the guy who destroyed Margarito two fights ago. That fight would probably pull in good numbers, but nowhere near what PBF-Pac could. It also doesn't have the same good v bad angle that you get with that fight. It's just bad (Mayweather) vs even fucking worse (Margarito). Cotto-Margarito I pulled in about 400,000 PPVs in the US, I can't see a rematch doing so much better to justify seeing it again.
I like Margarito and want to believe that he didnt know about the wraps but I cant :-\
Watching him soak up everything Cotto could offer and then come storming back was amazing, unfortunately everything that has happened since suggests that he did it with loaded gloves. Gets rumbled by Team Mosley, then gets battered, sure his head must of been all over the shop and he wasnt in great physical shape, but he went to the ring legal and got hammered. Looked less than impressive coming back despite it being nothing more than a public sparring session. Now he's fighting the best (or second best) fighter on the planet and is likely to get beat again.
It doesnt look good for Margarito. The only way for him to mount any kind of arguement that he won fights legally is to beat Pac. A massive ask for anyone at any time.
