Freddie Roach knows the threat that is Antonio Margarito.

[Pin Galarga]

I'm not flying with all the hype. The tuneup fight will be a cakewalk for Manny. They are pumping up the tuneup as much as possible, but the fight is what it is. A TUNE UP against a tall sparring partner. The slow and telegraphic Margarito will look like a caveman following Pacquiao and getting tagged time after time until the last bell.

[Khalid X]

Everything was very righteous until that

I was about the say the same thing. I don't get why that guy post that bull****, but with that said.......no **** Margarito is a live opponent. Any unbiased person can see this. I mean Shane looked like **** against Winky, Vernon, and Mayorga but he still crushed guys like Vargas, Margarito etc. Tony is a legit fighter but I wish they would drop the catchweight so everyone can just shut the hell up.

A lotta people don't see that as well, but as they'll always say, Marg's got a puncher's chance.

I think people really need to wake up, but to each their own.

If people wanna open up a can of worms for any fighter out there to feast on, then go ahead.

If people just wanna sit down and enjoy the fight irregardless, then all good too.

To the point, the gauge you can tell Margarito's gonna be toast is his last fight, where he looked pathetic taunting Garcia but he himself looked like **** the whole fight. If that's what's gonna come out against Pacquiao then poof!

True that!

I mean no disrespect to Dom, but he asking people to wake up coz of this catchweight ****, I give it to him, but he feeling righteous of just accusing the man on PEDS without any proof in history whatsoever is downright ridiculous.

In the bold, thats always been the case with Margarito. The problem lies with Margarito constantly coming foward and throwing. Thats when that mental exhaustion kicks in and your left wondering how your gonna get this man (Margarito) off you, then your stamina is zapped. You start to lose concentration and before you know it he's slowly breaking you down.

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

Roach knows that Marg is NO THREAT. If he was this huge threat he wouldn't have taken the fight and risked losing a fight with Mayweather.

Bottom line in boxing is money, they don't want to risk losing the Mayweather fight and understood Marg is tailor made for Pac.

If you look at Pac's most recent opponents they have all been tailor made for him with the exception of Cotto. Cotto was the biggest risk to Pac and was destroyed, what do you think will happen to Marg?

Cotto is twice as fast as Marg and Pac is twice as fast as Cotto. Marg will look like he's underwater punching next to Pac.

That's it for me, Even in the Cotto fight i predict Pac would be too much for him because of the speed and their respective last 3 fights at that time, Some people think bigger equals better.

Cotto was Pac's biggest risk and he got destroyed, I cant imagine the beating Margarito is going to take, Whats going to make it worse than Cotto is that Mexican pride of not quitting.

margarito didnt come forward when fighting garcia....call it a fight to shake off the ring rust but it was the first fight margarito showed good defense and was on his toes

margarito didnt complain once prior to the fight with mosley...not even during the promotion...he had trouble making weight...that was his excuse after the mosley fight. panda thinks he could still make 147 after he gets back into his training regime

one of the few fighters better conditioned than tony is pacquiao..

didnt think arums promotion would actually affect u DS...uve been one of the outspoken guys about tony being a cheater

[ИATAS]

In my opinion most of Guzman's success against Funeka (Rematch) was because of a better game plan, but I'm not gonna act like Guzman wasn't eating Funeka's punches like M & Ms. These things matter, and Margarito is made to come down to 149 for a reason. People need to wake up...

Funeka weighed more than Guzman on fight night

It hasn't, and I do view Margarito as a cheat, but you also have to acknowledge what Margarito brings.
