How will this fight go? Will it be better than we all expect? Will it be more competitive than Oscar, Ricky, Cotto, Clottey? Will Tony shock Manny and Freddie with a Cotto like performance? Post your thoughts, I'll start a poll...
Any new predictions?
Any last minute change predictions?
***NOTE***
Emmanuel just stated that both fighters are being allowed to wrap tape directly onto the skin, making the hand much tighter. Guess Texas allows this. There will be a KTFO tonight. Freddie must have supreme confidence in Manny's power to allow this to happen.
If Margarito can take on Pacquiao's punches, Margarito has a shot at it. He would apply tremendous pressure and pacquiao has not learned how to fight going back that's why Roach doesn't want him on the ropes. If Pacquiao can't stop Margarito with his punches I expect Margarito to stop him.
This will be like the Hatton fight only that Plasterito will be able to hold out a couple of rounds more. Cheato will be constantly beaten to the punch and shocked by Manny's power.
I don't think he will KO Marg, what I do mean is that Marg will respect Pacs power once he's tasted a few of Pacs powershots.
Clottey wasn't throwing and if he was, I'm sure he would have been caught and not in a good way.
Delehoya he was boxing smart and really only throwing lead straight lefts not many hooks.
I agree with you in that Pac doesn't possess Mosley's power, but I'm sure if Pac landed the shot he did to Hatton, it would rock anyone.
Another thing is Marg doesn't use his height or reach advantage, if he does come fight night then we may see a different fight.
We'll see,I guess,I'm rooting for Margarito regardless,not because I like him though,I just think he didn't deserve the fight,but since he got it,I so hope he wins!!:boxing:
This power U speak of,exactly how much emphasis do U place on it??That power didn't drop Oscar,that power couldn't stop Clottey,that power did beat Cotto,but that fight was stopped to give Pacnman the ko,Cotto would have made 12,but Cotto never really could take punishment to begin with!!I think Margarito can handle Pacman's power,speed is Pacman's biggest weapons,but he can be hit!!His defense is not great & Margarito isn't shy about punching,people really believe that Pacman posses Mosley's type of power,he does not,I can almost guarantee it!!

Absolutely,
They both have great stamina,
for me the difference in speed in almost every aspect is what will put Margarito off.
Add to that the fact Marg doesn't think Pac has the power, come fight night Margarito will be in for a surprise.
If Marg causes an upset, I will eat my words no doubt but I just can't see Marg winning this fight.

People talk alot of crap about Cotto taking a knee and getting beat down by Cheato but the fact is Cotto was beating the crap out of Cheato for half the fight and pretty easy.
Cotto was hitting Cheato at will, his only problem was he was back peddling while doing it. I believe Mosley saw how easy it was to hit Cheato and thats why Mosley laid in on his punches and why he destroyed Cheato. I believe Pac will do a little of both backpedaling punching and laying in on them..Why? Because he is fast enough and he can. Whatever happens I predict Cheato will have the worst and most bloody face we have ever seen on him.
P.S. Cheato smiled alot in the Cotto fight, Smiled even more while Shane beat him up,with Pac he will be doing alot of smiling.
Stamina,that is the key actually,I know Manny has good stamina,but how many of his latest opponents had the same stamina to match him??Cotto didn't,Clottey doesn't really throw,Oscar was half dead,Margarito has great stamina,I hope You haven't forgotten that!!

margarito will come in over trained just look at him how he looked last week.pacquiao by stoppage in the middle rounds.i cant believe this guy is making legacy by fighting weight drained fighters at catch weight or mayweathers left overs and that at catch weight too lmaoooooooo
nowdays with a good promoter and not having to take a proper blood test can make you a champion lolllll
Really? Who's weight drained aside from DLH? Kindly refresh me? Was Cotto and Margarito Mayweather's leftovers? I believe your man ducked them same way he's ducking this overhyped, one-dimensional midget from Asia.
Manny has the stamina, he can trade all night long and still bounce around.

I think Manny wins the early rounds,but when Margarito catches up to him,mid fight & they trade & Manny see;s that he can't hurt him,he'll start fighting backwards to his demise!!
