WTF?? Yuri Foreman and Antonio Margarito are the Same Height....

[Fighting Marine]

why is everyone talking about a possible pacquiao vs margarito fight??? Foreman and MArgarito are both 5'11.....can someone explain this to me??? how is foreman too tall for pacquiao but margarito is a good matchup???

[sceneboxing]

It's about overall size, not just height.

But I actually would not mind seeing Pacquiao-Foreman instead of Pacquiao-Clottey.

But Margarito is a come forward fighter and is there to be hit, easy target. Foreman boxes and switches it up, uses the ring. You know Arum wants the easiest fights for Pacquiao.

WHAT??? overall size was never mentioned.....Bob Arum and Michael Konz specifically said Foreman was too tall

It wasn't Foreman's height, I can't believe anyone bought that.

It's Foremans style people, the way he fights, hard fight for Manny.

if cotto and margs were so easy why did floyd avoid fighting them when he would have recieved the paydays and boxing fans true respect as a great champion who ducked no one? no hate here not a pac fan just a question

It just sucks they are gunna put Margarito on the undercard against a lesser opponent most likely.
The undercard is already shaping up to be poopy.

No, YOU must be dumb if you think Margarito is a harder fight than Yuri for Manny. You ignorant pac fans have no concept of styles. Margarito is slow as ****, walks at you, and is easy as hell to hit. Manny would be too fast and as long as he is careful down the stretch, he takes it.

Yuri is the same size as Margarito, but he boxes, he moves, he is fast, fluid, he uses his height, it would be hard for Manny, that's why they didn't want any of him.

That can be the only reasonable conclusion anyone can come to, even if Foreman was over all bigger than Tony, Tony I think has more pop.

slickers that are difficult to hit= bad style for pac man.
