Margarito's body punching. Can that get it done?

[supRa]

Margarrrito is just too slow

so was was margo when he faced cotto...

[S H A R K B O Y]

cotto landed on pac's body. pac commented several times how he wanted to test cotto's power & pretended that the punches didnt hurt but in reality they did hurt.

stop parroting what a ***** poster said about cotto not really working pac's body. pac tasted it, & spit it out.

you do know about the stick training to the body method of pac right?

another useless knee jerk reactionary thread.

What? The blows that ricocheted off his elbows?

[savorduhflavor]

Margarito especially, needs a stationary target to throw body punches. Pac won't be stationary.

And even if he does decide to stand still like he did with Cotto...it's him doing it by choice. If it's not working he'll begin to move around.

No one can dispute that Pacquiao is the faster fighter.If Pacquiao can not hurt Margarito then he will be in for a very long night.People underestimate Margarito,he's one hell of a fighter.In as much as Pacquiao is fast,anyone who comes to fight hits him a lot.I am not convinced Pacquiao will be able to take those shots from the Tijuana Tornado.I'm actually betting on it

What? The blows that ricocheted off his elbows?

please remove floyd's **** from your eye socket & watch the fight again especially round 4.

pac has commented several times that cotto's shot did hurt him but that he wanted to physiologically defeat cotto & pretended it didnt hurt.


some shots got through.

[Sam Donald]

I dont think Pac will allow margarito to tag him like Cotto vs Foreman style bodyshot

He'll probably let him **** away for a few seconds but thats when Pac allows it to happen and tenses his abs so it doesnt hurt.

[Silencers]

I agree for the most part but vs. Cotto and Clottey Pacquiao planted and traded alot during both fights. Especially vs. Clottey.

I dont see him changing up and turning into this master boxer by November. I think he will stand and trade with Margarito too.

Yeah but that was by choices, he stood in front of Cotto to see what he had. He stood in front of Clottey because he felt he had nothing to be afraid of. I doubt he'd do the same with Margarito, Pacquiao is a guy who moves in and out and side to side. He doesn't have to be a master boxer to beat Margarito, he just has to do what he always does.

[IMDAZED]

Did anyone see Margarito's last bout?

[KittenFlaps]

I wouldn't bet on Margarito with your money. Mosley showed how easily you can wear down Margs, Pacquiao is faster, stronger, and in much, much better condition.

The only positive aspect of this fight is that we'll get to see Margs get pummeled into hopeful retirement.

[Jmatic]

I forget what round it was when he first nailed Cotto with that huge bodyshot but is was sick and Cotton felt it the whole fight.

Im not sold that Pac can take legit, hard body punches.

Cotto landed on his elbows and didnt really get him in the right spot.

JMM hurt him with a body shot.


Can Margarito hurt him to the body?

Great thread...Margo does pack a MEAN uppercut on the inside. It would be tough to land a shot with a target that bounces around you. He'd have to cut the ring off and literally have to throw manny to the ropes and go to town on him. Even then Manny would move away. I'd give Margo a puncher's chance. I do believe if Margo landed a good clean punch...Manny might respect the power.
