FOR four-time world heavyweight champion Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield, said boxing fans around the world would not be happy seeing Manny Pacquiao take on undeserving fighter like Mexican Antonio Margarito.
The 6’2” Holyfield (43-10-2 win-loss-draw with 28 knockouts in 55 bouts) told boxing examiner.com writer Brad Cooney that fans are expecting Pacquiao to face Juan Manuel Marquez the third time rather than being matched against Margarito.
“Most of the fans that I spoke with in Jackson the other night would rather see him fight Marquez next,” said the 47-year-old boxer. “The fans all over the
places that I spoke with are not happy that Margarito, who got caught cheating, deserves the fight with Manny.”
Asked by Cooney if Pacquiao (51-3-2 with 38 knockouts) could score an eighth world weight division win against Margarito, Holyfield simply said: “I think
Pacquiao will win this fight. There aren’t too many people in the world that can whoop Pacquiao.”
Holyfield also said that he doubts the Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather bout would ever happen.
“I don’t think so,” he said. “I think when you keep putting something off, and putting it off eventually it comes off of the tracks. People will start seeing this as an unattractive event.
