Pac can win by decision, but i don't see a KO and he will take some punishment in return.

    The biggest question mark in my opinion is if Marg is as shot as a lot of people think he is.
    He will stand there taking punches, because when you are getting hit by four or five punches in a row and you can't stop it, you don't have a choice but to stand there and take it.

      Sure he'll get hit, but he wont be hiding behind his guard and not throw punches like Clottey. In case you've never seen a Margarito fight, he eats four or five punches with a smile, it took a power puncher like Mosley damn near 12 rounds to get a result, and I don't think Pac could stay away from Margs power like Mosley did.

          Pressure and volume punching. However, Pac has fast feet, and it is not easy to keep the pressure on an opponent who can escape with relative ease.

            He won't eat four or five punches with a smile when he has no f***ing clue where those punches are coming from or where the guy who threw them moved to now. That's the difference, is that Margarito will get blistered and he will have a hard time doing anything about it.

            He won't knock Margs cold unless his chin is completely gone, but I definitely think Pac will inflict enough damage to earn a TKO.

              First off,Margarito has the physical height advantage.He also has very good stamina,he throws a lot of punches & he's tough as nails!!Pacman doesn't have Mosley's power,period,he's fast,but he does get hit!!Margarito was the last true,pressure fighter at 147(after the Punisher of course),I don't recall Pacman fighting anyone with his style to compare.If Margarito comes forward & drives Manny back,how well can Manny fight then??Manny overwhelmed Cotto & beat Clottey with volume,he isn't overwhelming Margarito & Margarito is matching his volume,may be another upset in the making.Or Bob Arum simply buys him off!!

                i'm a big pac fan but just like my prediction in the clottey fight. I don't see pac stopping margarito. No not at all, margarito is tough as hell, has a granite chin and has an enormous size advantage over pac. But pac's footwork should win this fight for him.

                    Thats the one and only time Tony has ever been stopped, I gave countless examples above of him taking shots from world class fighters without even going down... To say that Tony isn't tough is disrespectful... If he's nothing else he's is just that...

                      Marg got stopped by a Old tired Mosley you saw what Mayweather did too Mosley it was easy work

                      If a 37 year old Mosley can stop Marg a younger faster better Pacquaio will do it quicker this is just basic knowledge
