Let's ask, a man weighing 150lbs on fight night vs a man weighing 165lbs with longer reach and height on fight night. Whose going to get an advantage? All Marg has to do is throw his usual high volumn of punches and eventually something is and will connect on Pac. If Josh scuffed up Pac's face with the very few punches he threw, imagine what Marg is going to at a higher weight? Cmon people, it's not as easy as you make it sound.
No, not at all. Margarito is a warrior and he will come to fight, and the clash of styles will naturally make for an entertaining fight, but I'd be shocked if Margarito came close to winning, let alone won.
ok. Fair points man, I think pacquiao will win on points, UD 117-111, i think that marg may win the first 1/2 rounds
Yeah, he throws alot of punches and can be dangerous when he lands 4/5 pucnhes in a combo. Should be a good fight, you expecting an upset?

he has no chance of beating pacquiao, he's just there to get hit people.
This is absolutely correct. Arum couldn't ask for a better opponent - he's basically a human punching bag with a cast iron chin.
Don't be so sure about power. Margarito is not a big puncher, he relies as much on accumulation as Pac does.

I think those betting on the size disparity should just do themselves a favor and get off it only because Manny has been through whole "bigger man theory" only to prove everyone wrong time and time again.
The best bet for Margarito is to turned this into a phone booth fight keeping everything within close quarters to Manny's head/body. But still, even with this Manny's speed and footwork would negate this approach.
Based on his last couple of performances, I'm not certain he has what it takes to dethrone Manny. However, he should be motivated enough to prove the doubters and naysayers wrong after all the drama still lingering above his head.
A few people believe he can beat Manny. He'll have to connect solidly numerous times to make that possible. It also depends on how fast he starts and can maintain his punch output.
If he's able to utilize his height and reach advantage effectively, he does have that punchers chance.
We dont know yet if he is the same guy he was before the scandal he will bring all kinds of problems to Pac but if he fights like he did against Shane he will be beaten all around the ring and it will get ugly.
