Former three time world champion Erik 'El Terrible' Morales is hoping that his countryman, Antonio Margarito, can overcome the odds by beating Manny Pacquiao on November 13 in Texas. Morales was the last fighter to beat Pacquiao, by a twelve round decision in March 2005. Pacquiao knocked him out in their next two meetings.
He says Margarito has a lot to overcome for a victory but Morales feels the size and power of Margarito will exceed the speed and skill of Pacquiao.
"Yes, Margarito does have a chance of winning, although nothing is ever guaranteed. Margarito, he could take ten hits from Pacquiao, but if he plants himself and lands one shot on Pacquiao, things could be finished," Morales said.
