PHOTOS: Pacquiao and Margarito finally meet FACE-TO-FACE

When play with the pigs you get dirty.

This fight will do more damage too pacquiao's legacy than anything...
NO WIN situation for him...

No it won't...

People in general don't look at Pacquiao like many of his haters do here because they don't have an agenda against him, they simply like watching the dude fight. I don't agree with the fight myself, but Pacquiao fighting Margarito isn't tarnishing anything. But I'm sure if the PPV doesn't do 40 Mill buys and doesn't have 450K in attendance hanging from the roof, it's an outright failure of an Event (which HBO is also promoting). If you don't like it, just don't watch it (but I'm sure you will along with everyone else hating on Manny).

On a sidenote: I'm sure both will make the catchweight

You are right.

You can add, due to Margarito last 2 performance, that he is done, he doesn't have the KO power anymore. Just watch the fights.

Mosley has one of the best chins out, as good as De La Hoya's, if not better. Garcia's never been put out either.

Margarito's performance was due to the weight more than anything. He probably feels more comfortable at 154lbs, but any "speed" he had was left at 147lbs.

Mismatch!! Marge by KO!

Since they're using 8-oz gloves, this is like a WW fight, except Margie won't have to struggle to make 147, and Pac won't weigh in above 147 anyway.

**** the belts, this fight is gonna be brutal!

:beatdown:

Marg is extremely good at cutting off the ring and has a big height/reach advantage over Pac. Add to that the fact that Margs may still be able to take Pac's punches, will trade with him, be extremely agressive and physical the whole time, and I'm not sure if Pac knows how to clinch. It is a very hard fight if Pac has trouble hurting Margarito.

This will determine the outcome!

You have to be a black boxer if you fight at catchweights to get credit to some of these fans here. Look at Sugar Ray Leonard & look what Floyd did to Marquez.

Guerra Margarito, De Baja California El TOrnado!

No doubt in my mind this will be an epic fight, No one can really compare DLH with Tony, DLH could not let his hands go anymore on that fight and if anything is certain is that Tony will throw over a 1000 punches in this fight.

It will be a war, I can see both fighters being bloody as hell by the mid rounds

[Double A 215]

Margarito is almost the exact same size as Oscar. Dont be fooled..lol.

Oscar did fight at 160 and 154, but was at his best between 135-147 when he was younger... Tony is naturally slightly bigger than Oscar... He's an inch taller and has broader shoulders, probably could fight at 160 if he chose too...

Damn. People are forgetting SSM is a lot bigger than Manny. This may be interesting.

If u never did it, take Big Tookie off man. That ain't shyt to play wit.
