Why does everyone assume Margarito is such an easy matchup for Pacquiao?

[Dan Vida]

Because of the manner in which he lost to Mosley? Last time I checked Pacquiao doesn't fight anything like Mosley.Mosley used alot of body punching to break Margarito down and clinched to break up Margarito's rhythm - a tactic Pacquiao never uses.Margarito is likely to use constant pessure,and look to engage at all costs against Manny - something he has to do.He looked poor in his last fight because he wasn't willing to take any risks to mess up any potential big payday's in the future.



I can't see he will win but people are making a mismatch out of a fight that isn't in my opinion.

Also because he is really slow, and Pac is really fast

[Pin Galarga]

In the words of his SUPERSTAR trainer, WE saw his last two fights.

Because its an easy match-up when you look at how they both fight in the ring, When you look at their respective Weaknesses and strong point you would know Pac has got this easily.

cause hes slow,sloppy and inaccurate with his punches..not to mention he has no defense at all......

[infamous larryx]

his size and toughness is the only thing that makes this fight interesting,,hes durable and will be there for awhile before getting stopped

If it was that easy why wasn't Cintron,Clottey or Cotto able to break him down? All three are accuracte,sharp,heavy handed punchers,all hit Margarito enough times and yet Magarito was still able to beat them.

Because most people assume he's a cheater and his past "beastly" status was due to plaster. Last time I saw a poll here around 60-70% of the people who answered thought he cheated in the past.

Because he's getting paid by Arum to lose. Anyone who thinks Margarito is going to show and FIGHT is dead wrong. Tony is going to lose, and make a MOUNTAIN of money in the process. Think about it: We're talking about a man who wasn't above using plaster wraps in his gloves. What makes ANYONE think he's above throwing a fight? If he throws the fight, he stands to make MILLIONS. Just think about it: He can throw the fight knowing that he's going to lose, and bet millions of dollars against himself (along with a bunch of his friends) not to mention I'm sure Arum would gladly throw him some "step aside" money. This fight is a farce. Margarito does not deserve this sort of payday, and it's a shame that idiotic Pacman fans will pay hard-earned money to watch it. Heck, I'm ashamed of Pacquiao for even taking this fight. It's A JOKE.
