Pacquiao-Margarito tale of the tape.

Pacquiao by brutal K.O in round 7.

Its funny because looking at the pictures and the measurements you would feel sorry for Pacquiao, but in reality we are all feeling a little sorry for Margarito.

Margarito should be banned from boxing and at worst sitting in a jail cell.Pac stepping in the ring with him is disgraceful.

Listen man. Margarito HAS earned it. A decade's worth of hard work and dedication to the sport does not get erased by one loss to a future HOF fighter. Furthermore, Margarito put in some of the best work of any WW by fighting everyone in one of the best periods in the WW division in recent history. He fought everyone who was worth fighting win or lose except Floyd who ducked him. So don't go getting all self righteous on me about being undeserving when Pacquiao lost to Morales, lost to JMM 2x and he still gets chances at big fights. Thats straight up hypocritical. The reason JMM, Morales, Pac, Cotto and Margarito always get second and third chances in the sport is because they fight for the fans and the fans are forgiving of losses if they know you're putting in an effort for them. LOST TO JMM 2X?? WTF Disillusional tool. Let it go.

Margo will be there to hit repeatedly. Now, if his stamina and punch output have remained the same, Manny will be in for a long night. It'll all depend on where Margo's head is on fight night.

Pacquiao should be fighting someone who will better prepare him for Mayweather. Someone who is quick and clever. Margarito is pretty much the exact opposite of that. He's known for an iron chin and crazy punching power; both of which seem to be gone now. Mosley showed that the chin could be cracked, and Garcia showed that Margarito's punches aren't something to be feared anymore (just look at his face after ten rounds and you'll see what I mean). The only thing he has going for him is the size advantage, and that can just as easily be turned into a weakness if Pacquiao gets inside and starts a fight there. There is no one. And please don't say Andre Berto. Berto is the epitome of a head hunter and not much more than that. There is no one that can prepare Pac for Floyd.

The reach adv. that Margo has means nothing as he doesn't even know what a jab looks like (as an example).This fight will look somewhat similar to Pac-DLH. Margo will be sitting there not knowing what to do while Pac lands 4-5 punch combos. Margo is just too slow to be competitive in this fight....and I am not a Pac fan at all. I think he's a fruity little bastard if you want my honest opinion.

Thank you, I've been saying the same thing too. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that since it seems to go unnoticed. Bradley or Berto would've been good tuneups, or even Judah to an extent. Fighters and their teams don't seem to do that much these days. Theres tuneups but it just doesn't seem to be the same. Although Roach I have to admit tends to be a great matchmaker for his fighters. Cassius Clay fought Henry Cooper to prepare him for Liston and that worked pretty damn well. Thats just one example. Trouble is, I don't see this as a tune-up for anything. It's just a fight for Pacquiao to win an 8th division title. If not for that, I'm sure they would have put him against someone else. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

For years Floyd's scared of this man Cheato. Now Pac's taking him coz Floyd's scared of him. Now Floyd's fans thinks this is a disgrace!! Cmon Floydettes!!! Floyd will not Fight Pac or Cheato because he's scared! Pac's the real Man here!!

pacquiao didn't turn down the foreman fight because he was scared of foreman's size. he did that interview in filipino not english. it got lost in translation and taken out of context. what he really said was "with foreman's size (to go with his style) , he thought foreman would be a boring fight for the fans." it wasn't that he thought he would lose to yuri. he thought it'd be boring for the fans. Honestly though... only a gullible child would ever believe Pacquiao was scared of a rabbi who was as feather fisted as the guido. I like Yuri, but the people who actually believe such non-sense need to be lobotomized.

Looking at the tale of the tape Manny passed up the fight with Yuri Foreman because of his height/reach Margarito is bigger. pacquiao didn't turn down the foreman fight because he was scared of foreman's size. he did that interview in filipino not english. it got lost in translation and taken out of context. what he really said was "with foreman's size (to go with his style) , he thought foreman would be a boring fight for the fans." it wasn't that he thought he would lose to yuri. he thought it'd be boring for the fans.

Pacquiao is fighting someone mayweather did not wanna have to do anything with. He retired than facing margacheato.

no its not another stiff with 0 zero defense no kind of head movement pacman is going to knock him out

This is a sick fight!! I dont know what all these boxingscene retards are going on about calling this a disgrace and a shit fight. After floyd marg's the next biggest threat to pac - fact. These noob's actin like they only seen the mosely fight. Marg's a 3 time world champion and throws more punches than anyone else - again fact. This is going to be an all out war while it lasts, this is great for boxing. Cats bitchin like they wanna see one of floyds wwe fights where it's all choreographed and you already know what's gonna happen. Ya'll gonna look dumber than you do already when this turns out to be a good fight. ps. If it's a disgrace dont bother supporting or fucking watching it! this would be a good to great action fight, only thing I dont think it is the right fight at this time, at this point in time Marg has not earned the shot for Goldmine Pacquiao Lottery, IMHO this is high risk low reward fight for Manny...

Margarito couldn't keep up with Mosleys faded hands, how will he be able to even be competitive with Pacquiao? This is a clear mismatch stylistically, especially given the big questions regarding Margaritos past. Manny needs to fight a guy with good footwork, atleast decent speed and good defence.

Mararito may have been caught in the mosley fight but im not sure about cotto. This is gon be Pacquiaos toughest fight as of yet. God bless.

Your supporting a cheater in Margarito. and you clearly havent watched Margarito in his recent fight. Looks like shit to me. Hes going tobe a punching bag for Pacquiao. This is the fight where Margarito decides to retire.
