PHOTOS: Pacquiao and Margarito finally meet FACE-TO-FACE

That's obvious.. just some posters want to downplay before the fight even starts. This will be a war.. I dont know bro it really depends on how much Tony has left. Seeing him in sparring prepping for Garcia really couldn't gauge simply because he was trying too many new things but in some aspects he looked really like he never left the Garcia fight was a non factor IMO because again he was trying a some different things and admittedly had to get used to having Garcia in the corner I will say he has been working out in Tijuana for a few weeks now and has that same spark he had when the Cotto fight came to fruition if he has some semblance of his old self this will be a tough fight if not I hope his corner shows mercy

War tony!!!!

updated the very first post, i added a staredown from today's prescon in NYC :boxing: http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/6747/x228b60a8.jpg

Whats the honor of a catchweight? What does it prove? That you can win a fight against a weight drain opponent? Here is the truth, Pacquiao is scared of fair competition just like Margarito. He has the mentality of a victim. Thats why he ask for catchweights.. It is a coward move. If Pacquiao honestly feels he can beat this Margarito why asked Margarito to fight in a weightclass nobody has ever fought at before? Name the last 150 pound champion of the world? the junior middle division was created for fighters who couldnt make 147 but where too small for 160. In effect it was a catchweight division. But now Pacquiao thinks he cant compete at the 154 so he now decides he can fairly compete at 150. ONE PROBLEM, he wants to be called the 154 pound CHAMPION..!!! He is no Warrior, He is no Winner, He is coward. He is scared of competition. He is scared to Compete. For a title he wants to hold. He is CHEATING history Like Margarito cheated with his wraps. 2 ****ing cheaters fighting each other. Now that is real talk. I dont give a damn about how small pacquiao is. He should stop barking in divisions if he cant make the weight or if hes too small. All his fans act like hes doing somethig great because hes small. He chooses to fight in this division, so the size doesnt matter. This fool is winning titles, in divisions and not fighting at the weight of the divisions hes winning titles at. THIS IS MADNESS BUT HIS FANS SUPPORT THIS ****.

Vivek wallace said it's a catchweight fight in a catchweight division...lol LOLz @ vivek wallace..

Uh oh... I see more and more people giving Tony a chance to win this fight. A week or two ago, about 90% of posters either said he was gonna get murdered or were just talking ****. Either that or the people giving him a shot didn't bother posting on those threads... lol Don't sleep on this guy, he's as live as they come right now. I bet that Mexican is hungry as f*ck and Pacquiao looks like a Tacquiao to him. NOM NOM NOM. I. Can't. F*cken. Wait.

I think Margarito can take this if he can take Pac's punches.

Marg weighed-in less than 146lbs against Mosley. I think the Pac-Marg weigh-in will look ridiculous. http://a.imageshack.us/img413/7562/margaritomosley14.jpg http://a.imageshack.us/img225/3230/pacmargo.jpg

This is a more dangrous fight than floyd because marg could really ko pac in this fight and worst he could get from floyd is only an SD and a scratch from his face.

pacman is going to have to fight hard just to keep marg off him. because of the size. but cotto looked good and strong until he got dropped. pac's power can change the whole thing in a blink of a eye. then the battle turns into the hunt.

I think Margs confidence is back with all those monies on the line this will be a dangerous game for Pac then w/ Cotto. Hope both will be 100% ready come fight night. A bit worried on Pac's training in the Philippines though. War Pac! :boxing:

iam telling you dummies margs is going to destroy pac. pac has never been up against a fighter that puts pressure like margs and not only that but add that margs has a uppercut,straight right,jab, and a chin means this will not be easy for pac to win. not to mention margs size.margs may be slow but when you pressure a fighter their rythem will go out the window. people are way underestimating margs chances I have to agree with u that marg could destroy pac because of the huge different in size that's why i will be amazed if pac will win this fight and i will be ****ing shock if he ko marg.

Pacman may have chewed more than he can handle

will update for y'all when I see new ones... http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/3230/pacmargo.jpg tonys hair is on fire im bout to get that "The Battle of the Bad Goatees"

My Prediction: Pain ... For both.

LOL... MargaCheato is looking more and more like a huge sitting duck.

I disagree. Fighting a vacation will only enhance Floyd's legacy. He's so good, no vacation can take his 0. Floyd over the vacation by U.D. Just watch. :lol1: :lol1:

thats why he is fighting at 150 for a 154 lb title come on horus, everyone knows people dehydrate after the weigh in, lets be serious for once, but seriously a person on his size and weigh should belong in jrww or lw and thats with honesty

Judging by how you guys base size, its amazing how Cotto beat Foreman. Or Manny beat DLH, or Floyd beat Chico and I can go on and on and on and on. Just because you are tall doesn't mean ****, it comes down to skill and Manny >>>> Marg in that category. Actually... the only area Marg does have an advantage is height, this fight is over before it even started. Mosley and Manny have done nothing but fight Mexicans their entire career and look what Mosley did to Marg. This isn't a triangle theory its just fact, every time someone has tried to attack Manny has ended up on their knee's, this will be no different. size matters. if khan didn't have the height and reach advantage over kotelnik, I see a vastly different fight. if wlad and vitaly weren't experts at using their height and reach to full advantage, I don't see them dominating the HW division. I ain't saying that margarito fight like khan, wlad or vitaly, or that margarito is gonna win. I'm just saying that height and reach advantage matters in boxing and can make the difference in a fight.

Yup. I have a feeling this is gonna look like the De la hoya fight all over again.. Hes gonna be a sitting duck and Pac is gonna unload on him..Imo, he wont even last aslong as Cotto did let alone hear the final bell like Clottey did.. disagree. Marg wouldnt gassed out and would be throwing punches and pressure Manny. Marg is not Clottey either. you will see a WAR.
