I'm a Pacquiao fan no doubt about it lol. He got me into the sport but I am not Filipino by any means. I love the sport in general so I can watch more than just Pacquiao. With that said, I'm not blind in this fight. Pac has finally taken a step too far. So many people are writing Margarito off...WHY?! Have you not seen the face off pics? Pacquiao is so damn small, it's impossible to imagine Pac doing any damage to a man with a granite chin. Let's go back and analyze some quick stuff.
Mosley whose a very strong WW used a lot of holding and counter punching to confuse and throw Margarito off his gameplan. Not to mention Margarito's mind wasn't there after the findings in his locker room. Do you think Pac is the kind of guy that will hit Margarito and then hold him for 12 rds? Not a chance...Now can Pac stay MOBILE for 12 full rounds while be stalked by an aggressive puncher who practically never tires? Questionable. But the facts are, Mosley is a big hitter all his career and it took him 9 rounds of landing everything but the kitchen sink and making sure he tied up Margarito to finally stop him.
I honestly don't think Pac hits hard enough at ANOTHER untested weight where he seriously looks out of his league in now. And you think Margarito looks big now? What about after the weigh-in? He's gonna be a MONSTER in comparison. If Clottey messed up Pac's face alittle at 147lbs, imagine what Margarito can do at 150+. Clottely BARELY THREW ANYTHING! :blackeye:
This is a sober assessment.
If anyone thinks this is an easy fight for Packy, they just don't know **** about boxing.
Im sure it wont be easy....He'll just make it look that way...lol:boxing:
Your making it sound like pacquiao can never be hit. Margo can throw 1000 punches and im pretty sure some of those will land.
The reach advantage will help marg when pacquiao moves out- thats half a ruler stick moving back. His height wil also be a factor, that means pacquiao has to punch full reach opening up his body. And those heavy hands at 151 can do some damage.
Seriously people are counting out margarito, this guy aint past prime. You guys swear once you lose everything is over. Ali proved that wrong already
Its not because he lost its because he cheated, got caught,got demolished,got suspended and now all of a sudden he is supposed to come back and be better than ever against the best in the sport? slim chance homie.......anorexic
It could really happen. But for me i will not be upset if marg beats pac because in the first place pac shouldn't be fighting in the weight class of 147 and above i'm just happy that he could atleast compete on the weight class above him.
All what you say might be true but at the end of the day Pacquiao is a smarter and more skilled fighter. That will be enough to beat Antonio Margarito.
Margarito is SLOW and he's a PLODDER. Pac is gonna have a field day with him. Pac will be able to hit Margarito, change into and back out of his wakkapacman outfit, and still evade Margarito's counter.
Clottey barely threw punches because Pac's hands were too fast for him. Pac's combo of speed and power made Clottey overly reluctant all night long.
Clottey is faster than Tony. LOL!
This is an EASY W for Pacquiao. He'll be in and out all night long and Margarito is too stupid to actually adapt, so I see a mid round KO for Pac.
Same boss what a coindence when Margo doesnt try and we say it was because Pac was too fast , you know that they pull horses up to stop them winning dont you lol

I think that people will be surprised by the strategy Marg takes. Everyone thinks that Tony will just rush forward like he did when Capetillo trained him and that Pac is just going to jump around coming in and out on him. What a surprise it would be if Marg made Pac come to him, by backing up and using his reach to keep him at bay. Then when Pac gets used to chasing, Tony will come forward and clash. This is gonna be a good one. War Tony!!!! War Pac!!!!
Margarito is damaged goods! Weirder things have happened but Pacquiao is in his absolute prime! Last time he was pushed was the 2nd Marquez fight! How many years ago was that? Besides that He's barely been touched in his past 6 or 7 fights.
Stop actin' like PEDs don't compensate for Pacquiao's lack of size, yeeeeesssshhhhhh. He looked noticeably bigger against Clottey then he did against Cotto, we'll see.
You still on that bull****? Seen any flying saucers lately? I heard Obama is a muslim what do you think?

No, Roach and Pacquiao will find a way to nullify any advantage Margarito brings. Who is to say Margarito is even the same fighter he was before Cotto? Apparently people in sparring were busting him up before the fight with Shane.
Margarito will come to fight no doubt about it. He'll come forward and put pressure on Pac like he does all opponents, but Pac is gonna make him look like he's in slow motion. The offensive onslaught by Pacquiao is gonna be glorious. Margarito won't give in so the fight won't be a cakewalk. Pac won't either and his stamina hasn't been a question so he'll give the beating for 12 rounds if he has too.
whats the name of ol girl in your avatar

If you watch his last 2 fights, 1 of them he won against a average boxer, what did you see in those 2 fights that make you think he's not past his prime?
Yes because that guy can take punches, i dont know if records are relevant because we wont know if he fought some good oppenetns but the guy fought at 160+ and has never been knocked out <---and has a Very Very decent record.
His reach & power won't be much of a factor because he's got very slow hands, Pacquiao can easily come inside let off a few bombs & come back out before Marg even let's off a shot, Marg has made boxers with average speed look like Flash Gordon.
Margarito style has caused him to be worn out, he's taken many flush shots in his career, if you watch his last 2 fights he hasn't looked spectacular & that was against boxers who aren't good as Pacquiao, so i can count out Marg in this fight.

Sorry guys I just can't see it. If there is anything I have learned thus far about pac is to never bet against him because of size disparity.
Speed: Manny >>>> Tony
Skill: Manny >>>>> Tony
Footwork: Manny >>>> Tony
Head movement: Manny >>>>>> Tony
Chin: Toss up because it still remains to be seen what Tony has left after Mosley TKO'd him.
Combine this with Manny getting stronger in the later rounds the table seems to just favor Pac.
