OFFICIAL HAYE vs. HARRISON and PACQUIAO vs. MARGARITO SUPER THREAD!

[Majesty]

I await people saying manny is the greatest fighter to lace up gloves just because he beat Margarito.

Manny is the greatest fighter to lace up gloves just because he beat Margarito. I can't believe it...he's the greatest...now could someone get me a wet nappy for my chin...I must wipe away these short & curlies...it's bad...it's really bad...but I mean come on...he is the greatest fighter to lace up gloves just because he beat Margarito.

Bring on Floyd.

I just don't get how anyone could see the fight as any other way than Margarito taking a beating and getting dominated. He didn't even deserve the fight and was irrelevant. Margarito showed heart to take all that punishment, but Pacquiao was going to dominate him and he did it easily. Arum is a smart man, he isn't going to match up Pacquiao against someone that actually stands a chance. Margarito's style, and the way he's looked lately was a setup for Pacquiao to look spectacular. And he did the job. But that's about it, he beat Margarito. Margarito hasn't been relevant since Shane beat him. Filler fight before the mayweather showdown if that ever happens. So credit is due to Pacquiao, but it wasn't like we didn't expect him to dominate Margarito at this point.

Was the Rigondeaux fight a fair decision? I missed it.

And the Jones one too while were at it.

Yeah Cordoba got a flash knockdown on him, many close rounds. Rigondeaux thought he was in the olympics and danced around without doing much for the last six rounds. Lot's of booing and stuff.

Most people had Karass ahead or a draw, I had jones ahead, he went ape shiit in the 2nd unloading power shots for about half the round, then he gassed. But he closed strong.

You know what..are we really at the point to where we determine who is a quality human being based on produced pieces and fight promos,snippets into a camp!! Come the fuck on !!!! As a professional he needs to have the shit kicked outta him but lets reign in the hollier then thou water walking do no evil ourselves rhetoric

People are generally judged on their actions, and Margarito's speak for themselves. Is anyone perfect? No, but most of us don't willingly endanger the lives of others for personal gain and his actions in 24/7 are pretty damning and can be in no way explained by editing or any other like tricks.

Manny sounds more out of it than usual post fight.

He does, seems very distracted. Says Margarito hurt him too.

Margarito has a point in that he couldn't really see after the 5th.

He clearly hurt Pacquiao a few times, but he never seemed in serious trouble. I missed the interview though.

[OumaFan]

I've never really seen what other people see in Jones so that doesn't surprise me.

I'd say I think Rigondeaux was overrated too but I'm afraid of the repercussions involved if Taeth were to see me saying that.

Did they mention Cotto rematch ?? Dont do that to Miguel. Please

[Majesty]

At this point would you really put it past Arum? He just sold a fight between Pacquiao and Margarito for crying out loud. Expect until the Mayweather fight happens which will probably be next, that Pacquiao's only fights will be Arum promoted fighters.

[MistaDibbs]

Did they mention Cotto rematch ?? Dont do that to Miguel. Please

I would hope they mean a rematch with Margarito so Miguel can properly avenge THAT loss. A rematch with Pacquiao is not something anybody would wish to see.

The only real fights of interest in Pacquiao's mind would be the winner of Alexander vs Bradley. Pacquiao can obviously make 140. and Bradley has already called him out. But I'm sure if Pacquiao fights again and it isn't Mayweather, it will be another Arum fighter.

[Oggie]

Great fight, and a great spectacle.
It almost matched Haye vs. Harrison for sheer intensity, desire and bravery.

If you try you could find more of a backward step for him

Making fun of someone with Parkinsons and loading hand wraps isn't enough to judge Tony on? I mean I am all for the train of thought that "you're not as bad as your worst act nor as good as your best act" but come on Spicoli, this dude is bad news maybe he had a rough upbringing, maybe his Mama didn't hug him enough, but you DO NOT load your wraps in a boxing match....I mean that is as low as whale shit at the bottom of the ocean....it doesn't get lower. Pro boxers fight for a living, and by loading his wraps Margarito tried to take someone's livelihood away from them and that's unacceptable and what's worse is that he got a second chance whether he deserved it or not and he took that opportunity to make fun of Freddy Roach who has Parkinson's.....it's not right man, it's not acceptable, and this whole "I didn't know" bullshit that Margarito and his camp pull to explain away both of those events is just a slap in the face.

I wanted Margarito to get fucked up and honestly I'm pretty fucking happy about it even though it's not going to fix anything, as a boxing fan the way I see this is that Antonio Margarito got what he deserved and if he never fights again it'll be too soon!

Well here is the people he won't fight. Alexander, Bradley, Martinez, Williams.

How much of a backwards step could Pacquiao take between 140 and 147...


Oh darn.... he's gonna fight zab judah...

And if let's say that fight were to be made, you know what the next criticism will be? Well he fought a smaller man, it's expected he will dominate!
