By Marquise Bullock: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum sounds more nervous than a hooker at church. He says Antonio Margarito will weigh in at 150 pounds, but will probably come in the fight weighing 164 or 5 pounds. Freddie Roach says that Manny Pacquiao will probably weigh in at 149 or 50 pounds and that’s about it. Arum was quoted by Michael Marley at examiner.com, saying this about his prize fighter, “It’s just to much of a size different fighting these bigger guys, this should be Manny’s last time”.
Arum also states that Pacquiao will fight two more times at welterweight next year. Arum said “We’re looking at a bout in May with or without Floyd, we don’t know how his legal problems are going to play out, so we can’t count on him”. Arum also quoted “Sugar Shane Mosley is a possibility. So is the winner of the Alexander-Bradley fight”. Personally, I would love to see Pacquiao mix it up with Juan Manuel Marquez once more or fight Andre Berto. In my opinion, Paul Williams is just to big and would most likely win, and Sergio Martinez is a big southpaw that can box. So those fights are predictable.
Well it’s good to hear Manny’s fighting live bodies next year. Because all he’s been doing is preying on the weak and fighting stiff, slow, drained, opponents. But he’s been doing what he’s supposed to do to them, and that’s finish them off. I would pay a clean $60 too watch him and Berto or Timothy Bradley go at it. That would be epic. If these fights end up happening, true boxing fans will really see where Pacquiao stands. But if my theory is correct, he might fight Mosley because he looked bad in his last fight but I could be wrong. I just hope he fights live bodies back at welterweight.
