*********: Do you think Margarito will have Any Problems Making the 150 pound weight limit set for this fight?
Robert Garcia: NO Problem at ALL. When Margarito came to camp for this last fight he was only 12 pounds over the weight limit which was 154 and 2 weeks before the fight he was already weighing 154 so losing those last 4 pounds won’t be any problem. So to be 150 I Think is Going to be a BIG Advantage for Margarito, He’s going to be Much Stronger and Much Healthier. Margarito is a natural welterweight and has fought there for most of his career, at 147, so I think those extra 3 pounds is going To Work to Our Advantage.
As you see Margarito go through the first stage of this training camp, it’s clear that cutting down to the catchweight of 150 pounds will not be an issue.
"For this camp, he came in weighing 160 pounds," said Diaz. "Against Mosley, he came in about 175 pounds- you’re the one who called him “The Tijuana Torta.” But he is really focused, really motivated and hungry".
In an interview I did with Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s trainer, he told me he wasn’t all that confident about picking Margarito as Manny’s next opponent.
“Well at first, I wasn’t, and to some degree, even now that comfortable with fighting Margarito, but Manny wanted this fight and I saw how he handles some other big guys and so I went with it, but those other guys aren’t Antonio Margarito.”
Roach continued, “Antonio brings size and power, but he also knows how to box and use his jab when he’s focused and I believe he’s focused for this fight against Manny; he has to be.”
In fact, Robert Garcia told me that come fight night, “Antonio will probably rehydrate about twelve pounds.”
Poor guy, he's going to look like a starving Somalian on fight night. Pacquiao has ALL the advantages :sad2:

Really!! some of these guys need to see this before they try to make something out this thats not there.
No he didnt pay them all to lose only the 2 biggest who have no career to lose they would do anything for the payday , why do you try to muddy the very clear waters , Foremen was too big and legit title holder , Team Pac said he was too big so they take Arum owned Clottey who is probably bigger than Foreman and Clottey does not try and it stood out like dog balls and he still busted Pac up , now for a vacant title at CW we have Margo another Arum puppet that will not be a threat in this fight because he is not allowed to be , it will show , this fight is a farce .
You do know that Pac is on his way to retirement? and it will be much better financially for Bob if Margo pulls the upset?
go on think... i give you 3 days...
I understand why you think in that way. Can't blame you. Your skull full of Floyds cum functioning as your primary brain process information erratically. Yeah you right, Arum paid all those fighters Pacquiao fought to lose. Just like Arum paid Floyd to go vacation when pressed to fight Pac.

No problems and I bet you Margo backs off when ever he lands anything with a bit of something on it , I bet he dont go after Pac like a man possessed and I bet after the fact people will question his trying to win ,,,,just like Clottey ,, you totally underestimate what Bob loses if Margo wins , Bob is a very shrewd old school business man he knows what he has to lose in this and he is not a gambling man , he is a stack the odds in your favor man , you think Bob being in control of Margo is just going bet this fight against the Mayweather fight when he controls everything , lol .

Margarito is going to be bringing it. Come back after the fight and we'll see who is right. A couple of years ago Arum was supposedly going to protect Cotto for a Mayweather fight. How did that turn out?

So you think Bob who stands to lose the biggest promoter payday in history if Manny loses this fight ,,, and he is also owns Margo whos career is limbo , just like Clottey ,,, your a gullible dumb fuk if you think Margo is in this fight to win it .

Yeah, when you don't have any logic to back up your point, there is always the reliable consiracy theory.

What do you think the point of making him lose weight is? Roach and Manny don't work for Jenny Craig.
lol..ok. So after he fought Santos at 154, he dropped down to 146 and fought Lujan....he tko'd Lujan in 10 rds. I guess it was their strategy to dehydrate Margs too...didn't seem to work too well considering he has had over 15 or more fights in the mid 140's.
Pac is a much smaller guy in height and reach, both of them weighing 154 is not going to make any difference to Margs, nor would it help Pac. Margs could still make 154 and rehydrate like 7 more pounds, Pac would not rehydrate any and still have to deal with a 5 inch height disadvantage and a 5 inch or so reach disadvantage. Pac would have a very hard time making 154 in the first place while still maintaining the training regiment required to train for the fight. They should have just fought at 147....both guys would be at weights they are comfortable with anyways
Poor guy, he's going to look like a starving Somalian on fight night. Pacquiao has ALL the advantages :sad2:

Skillwise Pacquiao is light years ahead of Margarito. Physically Margarito is the bigger man, with a huge height advantage, reach, and weight, but he does not have the skills in the tool box to give Pacquiao a hard time (IMO). From the pictures I've seen, and from what i've read Margarito is trainning like there's no tomorrow, and from the looks of it, looks to be great shape early on; so I don't think the weight will be an issue for him.
Margarito come fight night will have all the physical advanatages, but it will not be enough to compete with a guy who's skillset will close the edge on the Physical advanatages that Margarito has. I can easily see Margarito being overwelmed by the handspeed, speed, power, and footwork of Manny, to the point that if he can't gain Manny's respect with his power, he may very well get flaten inside of 7 rd's. This guy for me just doesn't have the defense, lousy footwork, doesn't place his punchs well, is stationary, is very easy to counter off of, and in general sloppy. A repeat performance of more or less what SSM was able to do to Margarito should be in order (IMO) for Manny.
He has no PEDS test and he has the same boss , Pac dont need any more advantages , this could be a HW and Pac will still win because he fighting a paid to lose opponet .,
