Anybody can knock out anyone in boxing. It's just a matter of catching the right shots. It would not be easy for pacman tho. If they hold the weight at 154 marg could be close to 170 for the fight and pac would still be the same weight during the weigh-in. That would easily be 20 pounds difference between the two fighters. The question is will the additional 20 pounds be enough to absorb some of pac's power e.g.: mayweather vs marquez, marquez caught floyd with some good shot but the weight difference between the two was enormous that allowed floyd to withstand marquez shots (remember marquez was able to rock pacman before when they fought in the same weight.) If the fight is held at 150 lbs then marg could only go as far as 160-162 lbs on fight night and that is just a difference of 12-10 lbs instead of 20 lbs. makes sense for the smaller pacman who would just be at 150 lbs the most during fight night. anyway jr middleweight is form 147.1 lbs up to 154 lbs. 150 is just right in the middle. and both fighters will surely bring it on! cheers.

At last - someone on here who understands weight making! - But personally reckon Margarito (a big dehydrator) will be closer to 165 on the night, i.e. around 10% on the weigh in added on. Pac will fight at around 153 on the night...so either way; 12lbs difference :-) Pac will have a higher muscle % than Marg though, so this should be factored in too. Can't wait!

Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach made a recent appearance on BoxingScene.com's official audio show, Leave It In The Ring, to discuss Manny Pacquiao move to the junior middleweight division to fight Antonio Margarito on November 13. Roach says Pacquiao has wanted a fight with Margarito since the 2008 TKO win over Oscar De La Hoya.

tell us something we don't know......margo is a shot fighter who will be drained and pac will be roided up as usual. anything less than a ko from the ***** named pacroid will prove how overrated he is.

[icedmango]

Lol exactly, i doubt margo will win, if he does itll be doomsday for the pacfans.

[prsi]

He will if Margo doesn't use his jab.

What Jab??? Margarito does not have a good jab and is to slow.

Very good points, but I believe that Pacman will probably get the KO by the accumulation of punches because of his quick hands mixed with power and Margaritos lack of defense. His only defense is that he is known for a great chin, but i see him getting more hit in this fight than the Mosley fight.

Although I'm a Cotto fan and expressed myself against the catchweight and Cotto for accepting it, the truth is that you can't blame the boxer you request the catchweight, blame the boxer who accepts it. If there is a Catchweight at least Margarito is going for a title that's not currently his, Cotto put his title on the line accepting a catchweight. Now don't get me wrong, I Hate Catchweight too!!!
On the other hand the Plaster Man is well said!!!

So pac saw something he could take advantage of and not Roach?
But Pac has to make sure he dont take too many shots from Margarito. SSM did it ok so i expect Pac to do it better.

That's what I expect, Pacman going, in and out, after 3-5 combination shots, and staying away from the ropes. He will, at a certain moment during the fight, test Margarito's punch and from there decide how to continue the fight, similar to what he did with Cotto, whether go for the KO or **** him for a huge UD.
The difference is that Margarito is not known for his great punching power but for the amount of punches that he is capable of throwing and landing, that's were his KO's have come from, plus the cloud of doubt surrounding The Plaster, which might have gave him some extra power in the past but I don't think that none of these circumstance it will happen against Pacman.
