    It’s going to be interesting to see if Manny Pacquiao shoots for a 9th world title after he finishes beating the stuffing out of Antonio Margarito for the vacant World Boxing Council light middleweight title on November 13th. That fight will be Pacquiao’s eighth world title, but you have figure that he’s going to keep reaching for more if he looks good in dispatching Margarito.

    I just wonder if the junior middleweight is the upper limit to what Pacquiao can accomplish. The middleweight champions are all pretty solid fighters and I can’t see Pacquiao beating any of them unless they have to fight in one of Pacquiao’s god awful catch weights. In that case, one of them might be weakened enough so that Pacquiao could win a controversial decision, but that’s really reaching.
