Comments Thread For: Ariza: If Mosley Can Hurt Margarito, So Can Pacquiao

[Gino Ros]

Not discredit you but, A prime George Foreman punched harder than a prime Mike Tyson. Tyson was explosive but Foreman was a harder puncher and not as explosive. So saying that "you can't punch harder than someone who is more explosive with their punches" isnt necessarily true.

you are right and another good example is manny pacquiao at welterweight who is more explosive but trinidad at welterweight hits harder

[..WaRSpencE..]

Of course he can, but Pacquiao is gonna be using 10 oz gloves and because of the 151 pound catchweight; who knows what Margarito may rehydrate to. This is why I think if Margarito is gonna get stopped it'll be in the late rounds.

I've been gone for min..

I thought it was 150lb it's 151 now?..

Unless an upset of the highest order happens, Pacquiao will beat Margarito just as badly as Mosley did.

I like Pac, but don't see it being a walk in the Park!!!

I totally agree. I believe Manny will fight very cautious for the first three rounds like he did against Cotto before he starts flurring and do his thing. Two years ago, everybody was saying Manny had litte chance against Margarito (even Roach said he was hesitant about that 'possible' fight). Now, everyone think Manny will destroy him. I see Manny outworking him and methodically beating him down to win a decision or possible late round TKO but I don't think it will be easy (easy was brutally KO'ing Hatton, that's what I call EASY)...

You hit the nail on the head!

This comment by Ariza is the equivalent of saying "it is hot in hell". Anyone with any sense (and that precludes most of the Pac fans on this site) knows that Pac would not be fighting Margarito if he had not gotten his ass whipped by Mosley. If Margarito had won that fight, Pac would be fighting a rematch with Cotto at a catchweight on November 4.

Manny were already challenging Tony way before the Mosley fight, even before the plaster incident. There was a thread here that even called out Manny to be somewhat dillusional trying to challenge a big welter in Margarito..
