By Dave Lahr: Trainer Freddie Roach didn’t have a clue that his fighter Manny Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KO’s) was badly hurt by Antonio Margarito in the 6th round of their fight in November 2010.

By By Ibrar Arshad: After a long time I have decided to write an article again.

By Dave Lahr: Jeff Mayweather, the uncle of unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr., is skeptical and less than impressed with Manny Pacquiao’s recent wins as he’s moved up in weight against fighters like Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Joshua Clottey, Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito.

There was ONE person in Antonio Margarito’s corner this weekend who claims he wanted the fighter to bow out of the savage beatdown he was suffering at the hands of Manny Pacquiao … but Antonio refused to listen.

By Gerardo Granados: Antonio Margarito´s trainer Roberto Garcia allowed his fighter to take a vicious beating last Saturday night against Manny Pacquiao.

By Dave Lahr: Alex Ariza, Manny Pacquiao’s strength and conditioning coach, believes that Pacquiao would have destroyed Floyd Mayweather Jr. if it had been him in the ring with him instead of Antonio Margarito.

By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao defeats a hand-picked fighter in Antonio Margarito that everyone knew Pacquiao was going to beat ahead of time and now suddenly everyone is spouting about how great Pacquiao and he’s the best in the world? I don’t buy it. A win over Margarito doesn’t make Pacquiao the best in the [...]

By Juan dela Cruz: It was not the random blood test, nor the purse split nor the legal problems the Mayweathers are facing, that made the negotiations for a mega fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao failed. In my view, there is only one clear reason, and that was again showed by Pacman [...]

By Rasheed Catapang: Once the mild mannered Clark Kent takes off his coat, we know the kid gloves are off. Saturday night in Dallas, we learned what feats of destruction such fists are capable of. No, Pacquiao is not Superman. But on the night he handed Margarito his comeuppance, he was closed enough. Was he [...]

By Jason Kim: Antonio Margarito (39-7, 27 KO’s) took an awful lot of punishment in losing by a 12 round unanimous decision to Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO’s) on Saturday night in a failed attempt to capture the vacant WBC junior middleweight title.

By Daniel Tagg: After another masterful performance from Manny Pacquiao on Saturday night in his one-sided 12 round unanimous decision win over Antonio Margarito, who will be his next opponent if any?

By Gari Jones: It was a fight too remember as Manny Pacquiao (W52 (KO38) L3 (2 by KO) D2) put on a master class display too outpoint a brave and determined Antonio Margarito (W38 (KO27) L7 (1 by KO) D0), fighting for the vacant WBC Light Middleweight Title, not too many people could’ve have predicted [...]

By Dan Ambrose: Manny Pacquiao defeated Antonio Margarito by a 12 round unanimous decision tonight to capture the vacant junior middleweight title at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

By Eughine Dunnion: With the farce of a Heavyweight title fight that was Haye v Harrison and the underwhelming undercard on the Pacquiao v Margarito bill, it is high time that boxing pulls out all the stops and repays it fans sometimes blind faith in the sweet science. Now this is not a knee jerk [...]
