    Margarito is so underrated because people hate him. Why can't you hate somebody and recognize their strengths at the same time? Margarito has been a champion for SEVERAL previous years, winning SEVERAL title fights. He has an impressive level of experience in both victory and defeat. The legit young welters Pacquiao defeated have already both been defeated by Margarito. Margarito is offensively intelligent, has an iron jaw and good power assuming he didn't get away with loaded gloves his entire career (which is pretty freaking unlikely), and terrific stamina. Yes, he's also offensively poor and has below average speed for a world class fighter. Wow, Pac's fighting a fighter that's not perfect (aka, one that doesn't exist). He's fighting a legit former champion who has a daunting size advantage. Of course Pacquiao can lose this. It is a risk. Period.

      Yeah i just think Pac will be able to punch and move enough throughout the fight than what Margarito needs in order to win, i mean, Margarito needs to get off consistently!, consistently because he is not a big puncher, but he will have issues doing this, because Pac can use his legs, has excellent stamina to where by he want capitulate and give Margarito a stationary target.

            if pac wins by tko over marg it'll be like pac-odlh. just because the other guy isn't doing anything and the other guy can't miss. (though i doubt marg quits in his corner , it'll be ref or corner stoppage)
            Pacs decision win over Clottey won me a nice wad of cash, i had a feeling he wouldnt stop him and i dont think he will stop him but i cant see pac losing either. So i might have a roll on Pac by ud.

            Manny owes me some money anyway, i had hatton and cotto both by ko ahahahah so lets see what he can do for me. I quickly learnt not to bet against him because i dont know what Ariza and co. are putting in them protien shakes, i just know that they arent the garden variety that you purchase from the nutrition store ahahaha.

                Q,

                I think when we finally saw Pac standing next to Marg we all started to second guess ourselves (even though we all knew Marg was bigger), but I still stand firm in thinking Pacquiao will win either a lopsided decision or stop Margarito. Right now I'm leaning towards a stoppage in 8.

                Pac is a fucking freak of nature. Lol. I don't know how else to put it. I honestly think he'll take Marg's shots better than Marg takes his. Margarito is farrrr too slow. You have two guys with great stamina, chins, and workrate, so I have to go with the guy who's faster and has better movement (side to side).

                Pac's speed advantage + Margarito being easy to hit + Pacquiao being able to land from any angle he wants = disaster for Margarito.

                That's just me though. I've been wrong many times, especially when predicting Pacquiao fights.

                I picked DLH and Cotto against him. I picked him against Hatton and Clottey. So since Pac moved up in weight (not counting Diaz ) I've only been right half the time lol.

                  that's all i care about.


                  people think only 50-50 fights are good fights.

                  they're wrong. even in fights where the winner is pretty much assured it can still be a good fight.

                  it all depends on how the fighters fight.

                      factor in justine fortune, hell train margo like he trained pacquiao, he will copy the thai stick on margs body, he need not concentrate on margs chin because its already granite. prolly they will expect roach to have pacman go for margs body but by the time they meet in november margs nerves will be numbed by pain. then well have a real ring war!!! go pac!
