At 150lbs, who has the upper hand. Pac or Marg?

[Deevel916]

Who has the advantage at that weight if/when this fight goes down? Vote...

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

Pac has the upper hand if they fight at 200lbs, I just cannot see Marg being able to do ANYTHING vs Pac.

If you thought Marg looked slow vs Cotto......just wait how Pac is going to look against him. It's going to look like Marg is in slow motion and Pac is Neo from the Matrix.

[M.I Truth ?]

Well Margarito claims he was "weight drained" against Mosley. Now that could Just be his BS excuse for losing. I would still say though the lower the weight the more it favors Pac. Let them fight at 154 for the belt and just see who is better at Jr middle if we have to have this fight.

I know from experience it's always harder to come down in weight than go up. I'd feel lethargic.

I dont buy that whole weight drained excuse. If so, why lose 2 unnecessary lbs and come in at 145 instead of 147 if u dont have to?

Please explain your vote.

well it's not exactly what you think

he had no trouble actually making 147 for Mosley

but what happened was

they were using some cheap store bought scale to weigh Tony at the hotel so they could gauge how much weight he needed to lose. That scale showed him heavy so Thursday he spent all day in the sauna and on the stationary bike in order to be on weight for Friday's weigh in

well that scale was totally wrong and when he went up to the official scale he not only was under but was under by over pound. THAT drained him. After the weigh in we all hung out at the fight hotel and we saw Tony come in from getting frozen yogurt. He looked bad I have pics I took with him and it looked nothing like how Tony normally looks after weigh in. Also, after a weigh in Tony literally gorges on pastas and meats but his driver told me that all he had after his weigh was half of his pasta.

Mosley was the better man that night and a perfect foil for Tony to look bad against and IMO no matter version of Tony would have been in there he probably would have lost but the above is the real truth of what happened with his weight

Obviously marg has the upper hand at 150. Dude has had most of his fights at welterweight, and has been going to and from 147 to 154 for much of his career. On the other hand, Pacquiao comes in weighing 144 for weighins in the welterweight fights he has had. Pacquiaos optimal weight is at 140 (big money fights at 147).. but pushes it to reach 147. You'd get LAUGHED at for even considering Pacquiao take this fight a couple years ago. Even Merchant stated during the Pac vs DLH fight that it shouldn't happen due to Marg being the much bigger man.

However, I ain't with this ****. Manny should let Marg come in at whatever weight he wants. Just to avoid any asteriks if he happens to win. This fight should not be for a titile. Or better yet, Marg should get himself down to 147...

At the end of the day, I'm a fight fan. Just like I watched May/Mosley.. Cotto/Foreman.. Hell, even Jones/Hopkins 2.. I will just enjoy the fight. I don't see why so many people are bitching about this when this fight will be an entertaining one. Too many people are caught up in the politics of it all.. Just enjoy the show..

[MOTHER DUCKER]

Margaritto looked like his feet were stuck in cement as he was brutally ass ****d by Sugar Shane, at 150 or HW it makes no difference...

Pac may even HATTON Margs around the 6th round.. who knows were margs chins at after Cotto/Mosley and we all know that is his only defence.

Never knew.. thanks for the info. Says a lot. Marg did not look like himself that fight. Not to mention the hand wrapping incident.
