Clottey couldn't miss Pacquiao, can Margarito?

[-PANDA-]

Let's hope brother. I want a firefight and neither guy takes knees or gets shy.

if tony doesnt take a knee he will be eating dinner with a straw in 20 years

Quit acting like you care about things like that.

It will be a great fight.

Clottey is a patient sharp shooter he looks for oppoturnities and lands accurately and cleanly Margarito IS NOT he is more interested in workrate not sharp shooting his punches are not as crisp as Clotteys and a far wider

[Jack Napier]

Clottey is faster and more accurate than Tony
Tony won't land a lot of combinations
he has to hurt Pac to the body early and/or keep him on the ropes
no way Tony tees off with big shots and lands them easily

Clottey didn't even try to win a round.

Margarito at least will.

without the bricks...highly doubt it..

Yeah apparently some people think he had bricks in 15 championship fights, or all 43 of his fights.

And others just think he had them against Cintron and Cotto.

Yes, maybe... But he is the bigger guy. That said, we haven't seen "the bigger guy" win in how long? 10 years? I think being the bigger guy is more of a matter of the people selling the fight than it is an important factor because there are many more important factors. Still i can see Margarito hitting Pacquiao more than a few times. To me the real question is, will Pacquiao be bothered by it enough he will go out of the gameplan? We'll see

I think this is a good question a fan must ask. How much damage did Clottey, who threw very few punches and isn't notoriously fast, do to Pacquiao's face? Do you guys recall the tripple uppercut, unanswered?
Margarito will not have his toys (the bricks) but he still can sting you. I'm not sure about this fight. I think Pacquiao gets him out of there early or later but if later, he's not going to have a party afterwards!!!

What you think?

I disagree with the Clottey isn't fast part,but everything else is accurate!!He has very quick hands,he just refuses to throw them!!But anyway Margarito is a tough dude & Pacman (in my opinion),doesn't hit as hard as Mosley,so I see Margarito putting up a solid fight!!What I'm saying is I wouldn't be surprised if Pacman looks better early but Margarito's size & Pacman's inability to hurt him might cause a big upset!!Because Pacman is there to be hit!!

[Twako]

eventually pac got complacent in his defense. almost didnt do any footwork late. why would he, if clottey wasnt throwing anything. so sure he'll get tagged. and maybe pac was trying to let clottey open up so he can get in.

Margarito has to capitalize his advantage to atleast make it competitive or even win a fight. if he can use his height and reach advantage it would be a long night for Manny but im not sure if thats how Margarito fight. if he would be fighting Manny the way he fought Mosley or Cotto, he would be eating punches in a different directions.
