Can Pacquiao back up Margarito against the Ropes like Mosley did to Margarito?

[starkiller]

Can he or do you think he is too small or not a hard enough puncher to get Margarito's respect like Mosley did.

I know Oscar's performance is a bad comparison, but it won't be the first time Pac backs up a tall guy on the ropes. I'd be very surprised though, considering that Marg is fighting in a weight class he's more familiar with.


OMG the pictures are almost exactly alike. lol.

I don't think Pacman is backing up Margarito,I don't think Pacman packs Mosley's type of power & I think Margarito plans to capitalize on the miracle that has him back in a ppv headliner!!

We'll see on Nov. 13th. Pac's power is always underestimated until they get hit with something they don't see coming.

If he hurts Margarito enough, Margarito won't have any where to go but backwards. It might not be his intent, but when you have a guy throwing 5-6 punches at you over and over, shit happens.

I don't think Pacquiao will use Mosley's strategy, but he will probably get Margarito on the ropes at some point. He'll probably find his back against the ropes too, but the difference is he quickly maneuvers his way off, just like against DLH.

You'd think people here would know that by now, and add in the factor that Margarito blocks punches with his face.

I don't know if he can,and I won't doubt him either he is a great fighter..But I would lean towards no..Pac is a fast in and out fighter,I believe he will use this same style on Marga's I can't see Pac fighting the same fight that Mosley fought..

[texas1]

the only time margarito will back up will be when pacquiao throws a combination and that will be like one step, after that he'll keep coming forward.

He won't need to. Miguel Cotto didn't back Antonio Margarito up and he was beating him to the punchfor 8 to 9 rounds. However, Pacquiao is faster, can take a solid punch and will have a better time with the movement, including his head movement.

Manny also won't tire in the latter portion of the bout. He'll likely get a decision or a late stoppage out of it and it'll like very similar to the Cotto fight stretched for 12 rounds.
