Am I the only one who thinks margo with destroy Pac?

[any craic lad?]

Are you serious Margarito took Mosleys best shots flush for 9 rounds.He walked through Cottos best shots Cintrons best shots.Are you telling me Clottey would have taken the same shots Margarito took from Mosley for 9 rounds and still be standing?come on man

[Bring It On]

I think Manny will stop him, TKO by the 10th round or so. To those who say that Floyd ducked him, well, Floyd would make Margacheato look like a fool for 12 rounds.

However, I don't think anybody should fight him. And I don't think that Arum should promote him anymore after seeing what he said in the "Assault In The Ring"-documentary. Hypocrite.

[Boxing Scene]

Yeah, you're probably the only one who doesn't realize that Margarito takes punishment to give it, and he can't take those shots for more than 4-5 rounds.

As much as I'd love to do a 180 and jump off the Pac bandwagon, no...

Pacquiao should be the favorite going in. Pac HAS gotten swollen in his last two fights and Margarito would probably be no exception, but still...Pacquiao has more going for him then Cotto at 147 back in 2008.

Pacquiao's got more handspeed, better combinations, a southpaw stance, head movement, footwork that will befuddle Margarito. Margarito's chin is (or was) incredible, but it can always be cracked. There's a reason people say, "You hit a rock long enough, it's going to crack." Expect Pacquiao to get some bruises as he will be going up against someone big who isn't afraid to throw punches, but he should prevail nonetheless if the fight ever happens.

Quote from Lampley and Merchant during the Pac/DLH fight in december 2008:

Lampley: "Alright Larry, you envisioned this one. Could you see Pacquiao against Margarito?"

Merchant: "No, I don't so. He's said that he's moving back down to 140 after this..."

Who would've thought that two years later Pacquiao would be a real threat in the welterweight division?

Now, don't get me wrong, I am neutral on pac and may as people would know. But Margo vs Pac is a total miss match, first of all pac is a natural 135/140 if you are pushing it, and margo is a proper 154 fighter!

He is just so much bigger, I don't see how pac can hurt him and get some good head shots in if margo fights at a distance, he would control the fight with his jab and land straight rights on him all night long.

Pac is putting himself at a huge huge disadvantage fighting him, if pac was a natural 147 fighter, bit taller/bigger, then this fight would be fair but now way right now.

Mayweather needs to get in quick, pac will lose to margo and thats the huge 100m+ fight revenue total gone between those 2

The Mexicutionar will be executed.

I would like to see fights through your eyes.

Pacquiao would force a TKO stoppage and if you don't know that then I can only assume you haven't watched much film on either fighter.

[CarlosG815]

Marg has never fought anybody near as good as Pacquiao.

[Sam Donald]

Pacquiao will destroy him - Ill bet on a Pac win if they fight

Pacquiao is a natural 147lb

[BennyST]

I could definitely see Marg beating him if he was the Marg of two years ago, but now, I don't think so. He has just been through some brutal wars, been horribly beaten for a whole fight and then knocked out and has now been off for over a year and in his last fight looked like absolute ****e!

So, I agree that Marg would have beaten him but right now, no.

[BennyST]

dont get me wrong, i love watching pac and always support him since i love his style. But margo is a whole new beast than clottey, he isnt afraid to throw punches!

he is just too small!

You know, this is the big myth that keeps everyone from underestimating Pacquiao. Both fans and opponents. Remember when ****m said that he could not believe that Pac was ever even a 135 pounder because of the size of him? He couldn't believe that he was ever able to make 135 let alone anything below that.

Pac is not small. He is a genuinely solid 140 pounder. Go watch Hatton/Pac again. Hatton is a good sized 140 pounder who had been stacking on weight between fights which makes him look even bigger after the hydration period and he is no bigger than Pac at all. Hatton had also always looked quite a lot bigger than his opponents at 140. He was big compared to most of his oppponents and yet when he faced the supposedly smaller Pac, they were the exact same size. He wasn't smaller than Cotto either. The only guy I've ever seen him look smaller than is Oscar.

If you look at Pac's old fights below 130 etc, he looks like Paul Williams against all those little dudes. It's still funny that people think he is some kind of midget when he has never been smaller than any of his opponents apart from Oscar. Not once. In fact, up until the Cotto fight he had usually been the much bigger guy. Even with Hatton he was obviously the fitter, stronger fighter and was also the same size physically.

Marg would be taller. That's it. He would also be slower, clumsier, past it and might not even have much of a chin left after the scary beating Mosley put on him. He looked in pain and winced very strangely for him the few times Garcia hit him properly.

Anyway, the point being that one reason Pac keeps winning and people keep being surprised is because they keep thinking he is small. He is anything but small and would outweigh and be bigger than anyone by quite a lot below 140. Any 140 pounder he would also have no trouble with at all size wise. He's not a small dude. 5'7" with a 66 or 67" reach is your very normal 140, or even most 147 pound size. Marg is a big 147 guy at 5'10" and that's only a few inches taller. Pac is also very solid at 5'7".

Margarito is more of an abnormality at 147 than Pacquiao is for his size.

Are you honestly trying to say that Margo will box Pac? Have you seen any of Margo's fights? Come on man seriously Margo has never controled a match with his jab and straight right .
All Margorito will do is get hit with straight lefts all night, then proceed to smile and jog towards Pac for twelve rounds. His victory will be going twelve rounds, thats all he can hope for.
