Does Margarito Have the Wrong Gameplan Against Pacquiao?

[Jerub_Baal]

From what im hearing in margs camp, his gameplan is to come at pac full on with pressure until pac folds. to me that is a recipe for disaster and the completely wrong gameplan in order to beat the filipino.

first thing that comes to mind is that tonys camp is underestimating pacs power. time after time, pacs defeated opponents say "damn, i didnt expect him to hit that hard!" if margs only strategy is to come forward, i expect him to be severely hurt by the 6th round.

now, the correct strategy has been implemented by marquez and morales. you box and counterpunch pacquiao in order to beat him, and the thing is margs has the height and reach to do that. i dont know th exact specs, but tony has a big advantage in that regard. instead of moving forward and pressure pac, margs should move back and let pac come forward.

if margaritos only strategy is to pressure pacquiao, i see him getting knocked out in the middle rounds in a very one sided fight.

I hope he doesn't overtrain. I have a feeling that he's overtraining.

Hell no,if there is any Pacman opponent that can seriously apply pressure,it's Margarito!!Allow me to explain,Oscar was bigger,but dead in there fight!!Hatton thought he was bigger & stronger but clearly wasn't!!Cotto retreats when he gets hurt & Clottey does not throw punches!!Margarito is a pressure fighter by nature,he's big & strong & has an iron chin,if there ever was a fighter that should be able to overpower Pacman,it should be him!!

You fight the best way you know how.

You don't reinvent the wheel for the biggest fight of your life.

Margo doesn't and will not fight like Marquez and Morales.

Margo will start slow and build up steam about halfway through the fight.

If Pac can handle the constant pressure he wins.

Been saying this from day one.......dude looks like he could almost fight at 140, lol

[daggum]

he's gonna circle the ring and pump the jab until pac lunges in and gets caught with a titanic right hand that leaves him out cold. mayweather jumps out and says "i told you so!"

I really believe Shane had the perfect game plan for Margo.

The hit and hold technique.(You saw shades of that strategy in the PW fight)

The way he overpowered Marg on the inside was brilliant.

Manny doesn't fight like that.

Margo can be out-boxed for long periods of time.

But if you don't clinch occasionally it can be very taxing physically and mentally.

I want to see if Manny can handle it.

If Margo isn't shot this could be very interesting.

The most powerful puncher from 147-154 absolutley destroyed margarito and only put a few bruses on his face. DOubt that is gunna happen to marg vs pacquiao.
