?(The Mayweather?s) never run out of reasons saying why (the fight) won?t happen. But the truth is they don?t want the fight,? Filipino congressman Manny Pacquiao said this week. ?And they say so many nasty things about me. But I don?t mind. I won?t even say anything bad against them. Let?s show them that Filipinos know how to respect people.?
While he has yet to put pen to paper inking a contract to face Antonio Margarito, Pacquiao confirmed the controversial Mexican fighter is currently foremost on his radar.
?Most likely Margarito is next. He?s good. He knocked out Miguel Cotto and he?s as tall as Oscar de la Hoya. I will train for eight weeks. We must not underestimate Margarito?s power. Next week, I will start running in the morning,? said the ?Pacman?.
