    Anyone giving Margarito a chance vs Manny?

    This fight will be dominated by Manny's speed, and without the plaster tony is gonna be to slow and will be hard for him to impower his will on him. It will be a repeat of Mosley vs Margarito but without the spectacular KO.

      Margarito will win if Arum hasn't paid him a decent sum of $ like he did to Clottey to minimally hit Pacquaio

        No chance, he looked so damn sluggish in his last two fights, no snap to his punches. This will be a perfect example of 'speed kills', Manny also had the power to knock him out.

          To be honest, I don't think Clottey took a dive. Do you have info/link/proof otherwise?

          I picked Clottey to beat Pac, but just like Clottey, I didn't expect Pac to fire off 40 punch combo's every ten seconds.

          Clottey was beat by his own style that night. You know, the hit me, then I will hit you back style of countering. Only, Pac never stopped throwing. I don't know, maybe he did throw the fight, that is just the way I see it.

            I certainly don't give him much, maybe if was on an impressive run he could really make a go at Manny but as he currently is I doubt he has enough juice to win.

            He might have enough juice to make it interesting or lose in glorious fashion, that is my personal hope for the fight.

                If I was Margo's trainer, I would tell him to focus most of his attack on Pac's body.

                I think that is what he will do anyway. Margo is known for trying to slow down fighters that use there feet with a brutal body attack. If there is anything left in the tank, expect Margo to go to the body, like no one has on Pac in recent fights.

                  No proof...just a gut feeling, based on both his 'performance' or lack thereof and the fact that Cowboys Stadium's inaugural boxing opening was not going to opened with a possible upset by boxings most un-promotable fighters.

                  This isn't Pac/Cotto where its a win/win fight for Top Rank...Clottey may not have taken a dive, but I could be sure that even if Clottey did want to fight even mildly competitive that he wasn't going to get the win.

                  Also, not expecting an onslaught of punches is silly...especially since Pac threw like 1000 punches against Cotto, a superior fighter to Clottey.

                    no doubt....margo is way bigger than pac and does'nt stop punching for the whole 12 while not giving his opponenst space to throw, which is what pac needs to give his best punches...i still think pac decisions him tho!
