Comments Thread For: Arum: Margarito Will Be Pacquiao's Toughest Fight

[TheBaadshah]

The toughest challenge for Pacquiao will be keeping his hands off Margarito...and then comes another challenge....his humanity kicks in and he wonders if he should stop or keep going...

Arum said he believes Pacquiao will win and that he doesn’t think anybody can beat Manny ... At the same time Arum said the fight would take place at a catch-weight of 151 pounds.

In other words, no one can beat Manny provided there isn't a level playing field, but if there's a level playing field (no catchweight), the risk of Manny losing would be too high.

And if Arum believes that no one can beat Manny, why doesn't he make a fight with one of the Klitschko brothers next and really make history? Presumably he'd be willing to fight them provided they come down to 160lb.

*******s will play this one up

His toughest fight? Margarito is tailor made for Pacquiao. Margarito is big, the biggest guy Pac has ever fought, for sure but he will be way too fast for Margarito and will be landing at will.

Manny Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz is scheduled to leave for the United States on Thursday after finalizing an amended deal for the pound-for-pound king’s November 13 showdown with Antonio Margarito for the vacant WBC light middleweight title.

Dela Hoya and arguably Clottey who has been known to weigh as high as 170 in WW fights are bigger than Marg..

I don't think he was competitive in 3 more. Maybe 2 but 3, at least not to me.


You think Pac is some sort of defensive genius. He gets hit too easy by guys that are just as slow as Margarito.

What do you mean?

He won the 1st. The 2nd was tight, but a Pac round. He won the 3rd outside of the flash KD(10-9 RD), and was winning the 4th till the big KD in the final 25 seconds. And I had him winning the 5th...at worst it was a close round.

Pacquiao is just too quick on his feet for Margarito. Margarito won't touch him man. Pac isn't a defensive specialist like Floyd, but he's quick enough on his feet to befuddle Margarito all night.

In, explode with combos, out and turn. Tony won't touch him man. He really does have no chance. And he's not even a big enough puncher to have a punchers chance.

Margarito is too slow for Pacquiao. I still think that Pacquiao might get just a lil too confident coming to this fight. Now if Tony lands a good one out of those punches, that might just be enought to finish Pacquiao.

It will be competitive if marg will use his height and reach advantage. He's got to be smart though. So we'll see. I dont think its a walk in a park for pacquiao. I still pick manny for a late tko or a ud.
