Former three time champion Antonio Margarito doesn't seem worried about his upcoming opponent, Manny Pacquiao. They clash on November 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Pacquiao's moves to junior middleweight to face Margarito for the vacant WBC title.
Margarito is already much larger and taller than Pacquiao, who goes for a record eight divisional title. Even with the catch-weight of 150-pounds, Margarito says Pacquiao won't be the stronger man in the ring. Margarito, at 5'11, has a five-inch advantage in height, but some have listed him as a 5-1 underdog in the contest.
“I am not really concerned about him as long as I train hard,” Margarito told the Manila Bulletin. “It’s a question of putting a lot of pressure on Pacquiao. In this weight, I am stronger than him. I feel confident of knocking him out."
“I have a lot of respect for the Filipino people but I am sorry to tell them that I will be the one who will win this fight."
