Manny Pacquiao \u2013 Antonio Margarito: The Dallas Showdown<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s official that the two will collide at the Dallas stadium in Texas on November 13th<\/sup> for the vacant WBC Light Middleweight Title.\u00a0 Manny Pacquiao has been subjected to a lot of criticism for taking this fight and rightfully so, and there have also been those that choose to support this fight.\u00a0 Typically the most popular fighter in the sport is the face of the sport and Pacquiao is very popular.\u00a0 He has taken pride in his humble reputation and has not objected when his masses of fans have said that he does the right things for the right reasons.\u00a0 His reputation is losing its luster quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pacquiao has stated that he believes that Margarito cheated and that he is only a fighter and does not get involved in the business side of it.\u00a0 Put on your boots, it\u2019s getting deep in here.\u00a0 If anyone is holding all of the cards, it\u2019s Manny Pacquiao.\u00a0 He could easily object to this fight and pick another opponent that hasn\u2019t attempted to kill his opposition by loading his gloves, but he didn\u2019t.\u00a0 He had money waved in front of his face and jumped at it and that is what this fight is about.<\/p>\n

Bob Arum is re-inventing Antonio Margarito and, believe it or not, the loaded gloves are going to help him do this. It\u2019s going to help Arum\u2019s bankbook as he sells this criminal, and it\u2019s disgusting that the Texas commission is allowing it to take place, but if the money is right they would permit anything.<\/p>\n

Boxing had the opportunity to send the message that we will not allow the crooks to run rampant and have their way no matter what the situation may be.\u00a0 Boxing cannot be bought.\u00a0 Boxing didn\u2019t say that.\u00a0 Boxing said that we will allow people to go into the ring with a sledgehammer as long as the money is right.\u00a0\u00a0 I expect nothing from Arum, Jones, or Margarito, but Pacquiao was the last line of defense against this scam.\u00a0 He has stuck his hands into the scum to take as many dollars as he could.\u00a0 It\u2019s disappointing, but remember that boxers are like celebrities, molded and guided to make them the most profitable.\u00a0 What you see isn\u2019t what you always get.\u00a0 Pacquiao has shown his true colors by taking this fight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s amazing to me that PacNuts and groupie\/fan boy journalists still support this fight despite all of the dirt that comes with it.\u00a0 Some of these wannabe journalists remind me of a plus sized Chris Crocker, screaming: \u201cLeave Manny Pacquiao alone!\u201d\u00a0 Objectivity is out the window here people. Boxing is a community and if we ban together, we can clean it up.\u00a0 Spend the 60 bucks you would on this fight on something else.\u00a0 Watch the inevitable replay on HBO the following week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

David Haye \u2013 Audley Harrison Official<\/strong><\/p>\n

As first reported by RSR, WBA Heavyweight Champion, David \u201cHayemaker\u201d Haye gives the unworthy challenger, Audley Harrison a shot at the title on November 13th<\/sup>.\u00a0 Harrison is ranked #13 in the WBA, but he has had a very disappointing career.\u00a0 At one time, Lennox Lewis named him as the potential future of the heavyweight division, but he never seemed to have the desire, and now he goes into a title shot with one of the best fighters in boxing.<\/p>\n

Harrison has lost to Danny Williams, Michael Sprott, Martin Rogan, and Dominick Guinn.\u00a0 He\u2019s put together four straight victories but the competition has not been sparkling.\u00a0 He\u2019s 38 years old and doesn\u2019t seem to be much of a challenge to Haye.\u00a0 I guess every champion is allowed one easy one.<\/p>\n

Expect this fight to be quick.\u00a0 Harrison has a puncher\u2019s chance, but chances are he\u2019ll be taking quite a few himself early and often until he crashes to the floor.\u00a0 This is a disappointing fight for the Haye fans.\u00a0 Most boxing fans in general want to see the brash champion take a swipe at the Klitschko brothers, but that is not likely to happen anytime soon.\u00a0 Expect Haye to feed on the mediocrities and make some money before taking on the big challenge of Wlad or Vitali.<\/p>\n

Floyd Mayweather JR Apologizes<\/strong><\/p>\n

After making some racist comments in regards to Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, JR., has come forward to apologize.\u00a0 This is more evidence that Floyd pays close attention to his headlines and comments from fans and journalists and he doesn\u2019t have incredibly thick skin.\u00a0 He wants to be seen in a positive light and lashed out at those idiots that have called him racial slurs and those Manny groupie journalists calling him a coward.\u00a0 He came off horribly, making comments about Manny\u2019s ethnicity, and he didn\u2019t come off well.\u00a0 This apology is sincere, I\u2019m sure, but I wouldn\u2019t rule out another verbal tirade that isn\u2019t exactly PC.\u00a0 Mayweather is frustrated and upset at those that don\u2019t recognize him as the best in the game.\u00a0 The less he fights, the more people shift over to Pacquiao as the pound for pound best.<\/p>\n

In the end, Floyd is still the man to beat, but as he remains inactive and apparently staying away from a Pacquiao showdown for the time being, his stock continues to plummet.\u00a0 There is a way to shut everyone up and keep his spot without dispute and that is to beat Pacquiao, unless Margarito pulls the upset.\u00a0 That would be a pound for pound victory by default for Floyd\u2026perhaps that is what he\u2019s looking for.<\/p>\n
