Pacquiao-Margarito standoff +*Size Difference*+

[mariobrotherpr]

Marg fights at his height and making himself a harder target and making his opponents more open.

Margarito using his size to make himself a harder target?

Margarito is a tall-for-welterweight fighter that fights inside, throwing combinations like there is no tomorrow. He almost never uses his height/reach advantage. I would be surprised if he even knew.

Williams knows how to use his height. Tommy Hearns also was good at this, though at times he forgot to use it and got into street fights (see Hagler fight).

Lennox Lewis also knew how to use his height/reach advantage. Wlad also learned how to properly use his advantage, albeit after some terrible losses.

But Margo?!?!?! Margo is a brawler.

I'm indifferent in this match. Margo has a height advantage, yes. Pac can move, yes. Will Pac have trouble with height, maybe. My only point was that Pac was able to hit a "weight drained" DLH flush. IMAGINE what he'll do to Margo (notoriously known for blocking punches with his face). I'm sure Margo will place pressure on Pac, I'm sure he'll thrown 5 punch combos, and I'm sure he'll chase Pac for the whole fight (until it lasts).

I just don't see Pac standing in front of Margo too long, I don't see Pac getting tired, and I certainly don't see Pac having trouble with the height because he's fought a taller fighter in DLH.

Al speculation of course. It will be interesting to watch to say the least. I am not TOO excited about it, but it's a good too watch on my B-DAY (NOV 13th)

Marg is 5'11, Manny is 5'6, no way Manny is going to tag him without getting hit first when Marg is standing straight up. DLH crouch down to Manny's height, and he paid for it. That's what i'm talking about.

[Doctor_Tenma]

Exactly....Some people just don't **** bout boxing...DLH hadn't fought at 147 for the longest, plus he was weighed in at 143 for the fight....Margo at 150 is where he fights anyways.....

And the Mosley fight? Margo wasn't in the Mosley fight...Mentally that is....this time around he will be mentally and phyisically prepared.

That a ****** in your avy? O,o

[The Noose]

I dont see any comparison to Oscar.

Oscar was a satue, Marg throws punches all night. He did have a tough last fight, but he was coming off a year ban, and looked a bit rusty.

The issue with the hand wraps may have messed up his focus before the SMM fight.
(not making excuses, just considering the situation)

Hopefully he will be back on form and give Pac a challenge.
(but if Pac struggles at all people will call him SHOT)

[Pin Galarga]

By fight night Ariza will have Pacquiao "bigger, faster and stronger".

If you mean Paul Williams no he does not know how to use his height and that is the biggest knock P. Williams.

[p4p-champ]

Cheato is gonna do nothing more than make Pac look better than he is.

I see. I think he knows how to use his height, he just has bad defense, because he uses volume punching as his defense. He used his height/reach advantage beautifully against Wright, but gets tagged by Cintrón The Frog.
