    Burner,there are soo many things to look at here,Margarito is a really big welterweight,but he's coming in bigger!!He throws a lot of punches,a lot!!I think people look at his destruction at the hands of Mosley & assumes Pacman does the same!!Mosley is bigger than Pacman & has been rumored to lift 300 pounds,what I'm saying is Mosley was a physically strong maybe the strongest at 147!!Pacman will be wayy smaller,he isn't pushing Margarito around & he does get hit!!Pressure is what Margarito is,if Pacman can't hurt him with 1 shot,there will be an upset in the air because Margarito has great stamina & stays strong,if Pacman doesn't hurt him early,he might get stopped late!!

      Will Pacquiao dare to stand in front of Margarito and "test" his ability to take bodyshots again? :laff2:

        Marg is too slow to keep up with Manny. I have a feeling the fight is gonna look similar to De La Hoya vs Pacquiao. Pac's gonna zip in and out and give Marg angles he can't defend. One thing I've noticed with Pacquiao is he picks and chooses his battles in the ring. He did it to Cotto, he did it with Clottey, and I believe he'll do it with Margarito. It's gonna be an embarrassing night for Marg.

          Margarito isn't the fighter he used to be

          All you doubters will say Marg was shot after Pacquiao is done with him

              Ya would be interesting if Marg caught Manny to the body but the punch that will be the winner for Tony if he wants to do well is that uppercut its ****ing lethal

                I dont see him changing up and turning into this master boxer by November. I think he will stand and trade with Margarito too.
                He will fight him the way he fought Oscar De La Hoya, and the fight will look exactly the same minus Tony quitting.

                  I think Marg is shot now. Especially from his last fight. He still packs a punch though. But hes shot IMO.

                    Pacquiao has the tendency to stay on the ropes even when not asked to by Roach, Margarito will get the chance to land one but he'll be too slow, I'm not completely sold on his power neither.
