*If you winced in pain every time Antonio Margarito was hit by Manny Pacquiao on his swollen mess of a face, how much do you think it hurt Margarito?
*Who wouldn?t have paid an extra $10 to see Freddie Roach do a post-fight imitation of Margarito?
*As great as the main event was, the Kelly Pavlik fight was sorely missing from the broadcast.
*Tweet from Floyd Mayweather?s friend 50-Cent concerning Pacquiao on November 8: Floyd gonna beat the s**t out of Pacman.
*Retweeted by Floyd Mayweather concerning Pacquiao on November 7: Jackyk1060 minutes has it twisted? @FloydMayweather = #bestboxer in the world.
*Tweets from Floyd Mayweather concerning Pacquiao before or after the fight:
*Don?t expect to hear anything soon.
*The shared pressure between Pacquiao and Mayweather to put on a fight is now resting squarely on ?Money.?
*If Mayweather-Pacquiao isn?t put together-I would like to see Pacquiao fight Andre Berto, a good but unproven fighter that deserves a big match-up.
*Or Sergio Martinez at 150 lbs- a tough fight for Pacquiao who has never really fought a mover at that weight.
*Regardless of who he fights next, Pacquiao has defied every expectation leaving nothing left to prove.
*Paul Williams-Sergio Martinez: Who you got?
*I will take Williams in a decision again if I had to choose, but it is anybody?s fight.
* Some analysts are already calling for Martinez-Williams III: Not a bad idea considering the lack of talent in the middleweight division.
*Carl Froch will give Arthur Abraham a fight, unfortunately I see Froch?s offensive output stunted by Abraham?s defensive tact.
*Line of the week comes from Bernard Hopkins to Boxingscene.com who gave his opinion that Pacquiao does not fight enough black fighters: ?Maybe I?m biased because I?m black, but I think this it was is said at people?s homes and around the dinner table among black boxing fans and fighters. Most of them wont say it (in public) because they are not being real and they don?t have the balls to say it.
*Hopkins has obviously not been dining at the Mayweather residence.
*That being said: Winky Wright, Antonio Tarver, Kelly Pavlik: Be nice to your new fellow student Jean Pascal when he enrolls in the school of Hopkins.
*?Sugar? Shane Mosley dropped a $12 million defamation suit against BALCO founder Victor Conte. Conte had said Mosley had knowingly taken steroids, Mosley said Conte was lying. A taped testimony of Mosley lends credence to Conte?s claim.
*Mosley admitted to using steroids prior to his 2003 fight against Oscar De La Hoya. If Mosley was also using steroids prior to his bout with Antonio Margarito was taking the illegal hand-wraps out of Margarito?s gloves giving Mosley an unfair advantage?
*Flip over to Boxing Dispatch tommorow for an interview with Conte concerning the initiation, fallout and aftermath of his relationship with Mosley.
