After seeing what Pacquiao did to DLH, Cotto, and Clottey and Roach telling us that Pacquiao has to skip meals to make 140, it's evident Pacquiao has grown into a "natural" welterweight. A move up to 150 shouldn't be a big deal.

Margarito in his prime wasn't half as good as what Pacquiao is today. He would have gotten smashed. Pacquiao does everything better than Margarito.

He has a high workrate and stamina like Margarito only he's 3x as fast. He has better footwork, head movement, accuracy, and I'll even go as far as to say power.

Basically, Pacquiao is like Margarito on steroids (pun intended).

Agree 100% and would also add that Manny has more FAR more speed and like you said, I agree that Manny has more Power.

Manny is just a better fighter.

Co-sign. Only hardcore Pac fans and Pac management are trying to sell this fight like it is Pac's most difficult foe.

margarito is easy to hit so somebody who throws a lot is always going to be able to beat marga, as long as they dont get Ko'd,

Prime Margarito circa 04-05' under Capetillo would of completely and utterly destroy Pacquiao, u are smoking some really bad crack Gekko.
