Pacquiao and Canelo are both frontrunners for Fighter of the Decade. Early in this decade, Pacquiao won a title in his 8th division by beating Margarito.
Was Pacquiao's win over Margarito more impressive than Canelo moving up to Light Heavyweight to knock out Kovalev?
why is there no poll for this thread
anyways Canelo win
manny marg was a cherrypick to get a bogus title
You don't need a poll, you can tell by the comments who would've won the poll: Pacquiao.
I'd have to pick Pacquiao's win over Margarito being the better win, since Margarito was still close to his prime and Pac beat the hell out of him throughout the fight. Canelo was getting out worked and was behind on the cards until he got the KO. Very good win for both guys but I think the Margarito win is better.
Pac vs Magarito fight was really good to watch. Although Pac dominanted Magarito badly, Magarito was still dangerous enough to where till this day, Pacquaio has mentioned Magarito as one of his most grueling fights(Magarito broke one of Pac's ribs i believe and somehow Pacquaio recovered. Vegas was going wild that round)
Canelo over kovalev
Margarito never won an important fight after the first cotto fight, he was drained coming off from a ko and he didnt have much boxing skills to begin with
Margo/Pac fight was a circus fight. I can't believe anybody is even taking that fight serious. Margo was caught cheating, suspended for a long period of time where he was inactive, forced to come at a CW and never did anything significant since getting caught.
Plus neither had no business fighting for a 154 title.
- -What, U load dropped U BigBoys.
Don't ignore the fact that Pacquiao drained Margarito and fought him at 150lbs. He also fought a drained Cotto at catchweight iirc
- -Must be a noob!
Marg the Ring record holder for 12 consecutive yr in their ratings at 147 when Manny fought him. He fought Cotto 1 lb under Cottos previous fight.
What grade you in?

Pacquiao win over Margarito.
Bigger size difference.
Margarito was closer to him prime
Pacquiao beat the living daylights out of Marg and effectively ended his career.
It was a masterclass performance winning every minute of every round.
Knocked Out Cold.
Exposed for cheating.
2 yr ban from boxing and blows up in weight.
First fight back was in Mexico against a bum at 154lbs, Margarito looked like crap.
Then Manny 150lbs for a bogus 154 belt.
24ft ring . 8 oz gloves , doesnt mean much to a fan but what it means in the fight is Manny has plenty of room to move, then the gloves, should have been 10oz in a 154 bout, but they would have trouble putting the hurt on with a more padded glove, they knew they would not KO Margarito, so lets have it so the speed fighter chops him up, 8oz gloves.
The fight was won in the matchmaking before the bell rang.
The average fan only understands the bash, what leads to it they dont care.
You see through the bullsh/t lol. Can you believe what you’re reading on this forum? Finding an intelligent post like yours is like a needle in a haystack. So much dumb things being posted.
Canelo by default. Kovalev isn’t an exposed cheater.
