Am i the only one who thinks Margarito can beat Pacman?

[jonesy]

U ain't got ****...go jump in the lake. :hysterical:
But will you bet your amount of points with me? Normally I wouldn't even consider such a small bet, but i will make an exception since you "called me out".

So how about it? 80k? No odds. Pm me if you're serious, i got no time to keep an eye on this thread...lol.

As your so confident winner takes all.

Anything is possible. I wouldn't look past Margarito. He is pretty tough. I think Pac will win with movement. But if Pac stays still for one moment, expect Margo to capitalize on that.

Margo may be a "tainted" boxer, but if he is innocent, he'll be fighting like he has something to prove... and that is dangerous for any fighter.

Margarito has been waiting 18 months to punish someone and pacman could be in the wrong ring on the wrong night.

Margarito slaughtered cotto much worse than pacman did. Cotto's face post-fight will never be forgotton by boxing fans. A bloody mess. Mexico>>>PR

He was being outclassed until Cotto ran out of gas. A problem that Pacquiao won't have and you know that. I'm not here defending Cotto. I'm pointing out how slow he made Margarito look. I don't give a **** about Mex and PR.

America > All

More like he's been waiting for a paycheck. If he's been waiting that long he should have punished Garcia.

If the Margarito who fought Clottey shows up, yes. I don't think he's been as good since. He was a little faster of both hands and feet back then. Threw his jab a lot more. I attributed the lethargic performance against Paul Williams to Paul Williams but even though he was fighting at a high level versus Cintron and Cotto, I detected some slippage. I also feel like the war with Cotto (and the innumerable ones before) took something significant from him--down to his hunger and drive. What's transpired since hasn't been good. I doubt at this stage Margarito can get up for one last great performance, especially against a magnificent fighter at his peak. It is highly unlikely.

Fair opinion, but i disagree with the bold. If there's any time Margarito 'can get up for one last great performance' it's now, thats why i think this will be a great fight especially for the fans watching.

The ONLY reason Pac might lose is by a KO from a weird punch. Marg wont be able to stop Pacs darting in and out. Hes just too damn slow. Mosley beat his ass all night and the version of Mosley that Marg fought was not what he used to be in his prime but still powerfull. But I like the TC think Marg has a shot.

The version mosley beat was weight drained and not there mentally. It was like a workout on a punchbag, nothing seriously should be read into that. Besides that fight NOBODY has dominated Margarito, now Pac is a BEAST but Marg is no punk.

Margo has no defense and he is slow, so what he is big. The last 4 guys Pac schooled, all we heard before the fight was how they had this size advantage and were too big for Pac. When will people learn that doesnt matter.

The only guys who had success with Pac were great counter punchers with great boxing skills. Margo is nothing like that. There is no reason Pac cant do what shane did, use movement, speed and combinations. Roach will have an easy time with Margo, you almost cant miss that guys face. And Margo's high output strategy wont work with Pac who has good stamina.

Basically the only thing Margo has is size, thats it. His chin probably isnt what it used to be after the Mosley fight.

Thats the other thing he has been inactive and hasnt beaten anyone good in years.
