Default Any Pacquiao Fans Here?

After demolishing Margarito is there any doubt that Pac Man is the best fighter of his generation? And don't hold your breath waiting for Mayweather to fight him to prove otherwise; Chicken Floyd will continue to run and hide until Pacquiao retires for real then spend the rest of the time telling the world why he is the greatest of all time anyway.

Couldn't agree more, Adam. I watched the fight live here in Beijing in a bar packed with Filipinos. It was wild. From the second round on, it was obvious that Margarito had no answer for Manny's hand speed and relentless aggression. I was a little surprised the bout wasn't stopped after Round 10, as the half-blind Margarito no longer even had a puncher's chance. Kudos for his courage ... but it looked like Manny carried him over the last six minutes.

I am a Pac man fan myself. Loved the fight. I sure hope Freddie Roach wasn't right when he said that Margarito might have been his last fight. Some think maybe Paul Williams would be a great fight, but of course, we all wait for Money to put his ZERO on the line and man up.

Just glad I got to see him fight.

I watched the rebroadcast last night and had it a weak 10-2 Pacquiao with Margarito winning perhaps round 2 and round 8. Could have gone 12-0 or 11-1 without any qualms. I think Margarito's corner absolutely should have tossed in the towel after the 10th. He's lucky Pacquiao was taking it easy over the last two rounds or the eye injury could have been a lot worse. That ref was an idiot--the hammering Margarito sustained towards the end was totally unnecessary.

As for Mayweather, don't hold your breath. Man won't fight anyone who isn't a little old, a little too small, or otherwise has a disadvantage. Or, of course who isn't one of the mothers of his kids; they are always good for a match, I suppose...

Meanwhile, how about Maravilla's KO of Paul Williams last night? Bet one-shot and out since Pacquiao turned out Hatton's lights. No way do I want to see him in the ring with Pacquiao--he's just too big. Now Lucien Bute, Arthur Abraham, Andre Ward or the Super Six winner for the 168# crown, that would be a hellacious fight.

Wow! Being a huge Paul Williams fan, it was depressing watching him get laid out like that last night.

Hopefully he'll be able to come back, but once a guy has his chin cracked like that, it's usually the start of a downhill slide.

All in all, it wasn't a bad fight, but Margarito isn't in the same league as Manny. I mean, step jab, step jab, and before he could pull the jab back, he was being counterpunched. And Margarito's trainer isn't in the same league as Roach either. Come on, in the 12th round they're telling him to use the jab?

I kept wondering how much different the fight would've been if it were Mayweather - Margarito and I think the outcome would have been pretty much the same, with Mayweather picking Margarito apart.

I hope Manny won't go up in weight to fight in heavier weight classes. If middle weights want to fight him, they should come down to his natural weight. As far a Manny vs Maravilla or Williams, I think Pac Man is far more accurate than either one of them, but they should come down in weight.

As a fan, I want Pacquiao v Mayweather, since I think that will be the most interesting fight in that weight class.

It's time Floyd! If you don't sign for this fight soon, you'll spend the rest of your life with the Pacquiao ghost haunting your tortured soul.

He reads this form, right
