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 [...]

By Chris Williams: I’m really hoping Manny Pacquiao gets knocked out tonight by Antonio Margarito.

By Daniel Tagg: If Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KO’s) wins on Saturday night in good fashion against Antonio Margarito then what will Pacquiao do next? It’s believed that he will have three more fights at welterweight and/or light welterweight, but I think that he could go another way. If Manny wins on Saturday night in [...]

By Will Cruz: Read columns stating that Antonio Margarito is the bigger fighter Manny Pacquiao. This statement is not totally correct. There is a false impression that if the other person is vertically taller that he is bigger. When both fighters fight at the same weight, not one would be bigger than the other. The [...]

By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao will be facing Antonio Margarito for the WBC junior middleweight paper title on Saturday night. Why this fight needs a title, I have no idea.

By Bruce Smith: Antonio Margarito is fighting for the pride of his people against the man they call The Mexicutioner, Manny Pacquiao.

By Chris Williams: Trainer Freddie Roach has got to be the most vocal trainer that ever existed in his backing of his fighter Manny Pacquiao.

By Dan Ambrose: Manny Pacquiao openly admitted in a recent meeting with reporters that the 150 pound catch-weight will be benefiting him and not his opponent Antonio Margarito on November 13th.

By Chris Williams: Antonio Margarito takes on Manny Pacquiao this Saturday night for the vacant WBC junior middleweight title at the Cowboys Stadium, in Arlington, Texas.

By Dave Lahr: If you’ve been paying any attention to the constant yapping by trainer Freddie Roach, you’ll notice that Roach is talking a lot more now than he ever has before one of Manny Pacquiao’s fights and he’s got a lot more animated tone than he’s had in the past. In my estimation, Roach [...]

By Jason Kim: The last thing that Top Rank promoter Bob Arum wants is for his top fighter Manny Pacquiao to get beaten by one of his stable fighters Antonio Margarito this Saturday night when they meet up at the Cowboys Stadium, in Arlington, Texas.

By Dave Lahr: I hate to break this to all the Manny Pacquiao fans but it doesn’t matter a bit that Antonio Margarito kicked some dirt on his loving trainer Freddie Roach recently by mocking the way he moves. Pacquiao won’t be able to fight any harder than he already is and if he goes [...]
