I just saw the first episode of 24/7 and I gotta admit Pacquiao looked fine. On the mitts and the double end bag he looked just like himself. Sure against those bigger guys he had some issues for the few secs that they had the camera on him but that's not to say he didn't do ok the rest of the time. Roach said he was only having problems because he wanted to go toe to toe with those guys and thats certaintly what it looked like to me. Sparring is just sparring. I saw Mora get some good shots on marg in sparring but in a real fight when marg was on top hed probably knock him out before 5.
I think Margarito's mental state is questionable. It looks like he himself is troubled greatly by what happened. I think all it would take is for Roach to complain about some legal wraps in the dressing room to throw marg off his game. That makes his focus the day of the fight highly volatile in my opinion. However, I don't count him out.
I think if Pacquiao doesn't hurt Margarito (showing a bit of mental weakness) early, pacquiao could be in for a tough night. Pacquiao is very quick, no doubt about that but he has been touched in the past by slow fighters that maybe didn't have Tony's power and sneaky body shots.
Another issue with margarito is maybe the catch weight will drain him and him looking in such impeccable shape there might not be much left for him to loose might even look gaunt on weigh day.
All in all this is looking like quite an interesting fight.
And i gotta mention it because it was awesome that Pac recognizes that his boxing legacy is head and shoulders above Floyd's.
