      We dont know yet if he is the same guy he was before the scandal he will bring all kinds of problems to Pac but if he fights like he did against Shane he will be beaten all around the ring and it will get ugly.

        Based on his last couple of performances, I'm not certain he has what it takes to dethrone Manny. However, he should be motivated enough to prove the doubters and naysayers wrong after all the drama still lingering above his head.

        A few people believe he can beat Manny. He'll have to connect solidly numerous times to make that possible. It also depends on how fast he starts and can maintain his punch output.

        If he's able to utilize his height and reach advantage effectively, he does have that punchers chance.

          I think those betting on the size disparity should just do themselves a favor and get off it only because Manny has been through whole "bigger man theory" only to prove everyone wrong time and time again.

          The best bet for Margarito is to turned this into a phone booth fight keeping everything within close quarters to Manny's head/body. But still, even with this Manny's speed and footwork would negate this approach.

              Just size, but he doesn't have the style or speed to take advantage of that size, so that's not even much an advantage.

                Don't be so sure about power. Margarito is not a big puncher, he relies as much on accumulation as Pac does.

                  he has no chance of beating pacquiao, he's just there to get hit people.

                    Yeah, he throws alot of punches and can be dangerous when he lands 4/5 pucnhes in a combo. Should be a good fight, you expecting an upset?
