Comments Thread For: Margarito: We'll See How Much Damage Pacquiao Takes

[Mojita]

Pacquiao rips come-forward fighters. I really dont think Margarito knows whats coming for him. Hes slow with almost no defense, his only advantage is size. Without his plaster his power is meaningless..

War cheato.................

Margarito knows what he's talking about. Pacquiao won't be able to take the punishment that Margarito will dish out. Margarito by 11rd KO

I think that it will be more about how much can Marg take. He eats shots early and everything will be dictated by how he takes those shots.

Who was the last opponent that pressured Pacquiao?

nobody has pressured hm before,clottey just stood there,cotto ran as soon as pac started landing,oscar couldn't even throw punches,marg pressures and throws 100 punches per round,pac has never faced that kind of fighter before,none of those did that to him

I know, that's the point I was trying to make to Illdil. No fighter has pressured Pacquiao and that's what people don't get about Margarito. Yes when you see him fight he's slow, his punches are wide, has no footwork, no head movement etc. but it's a different story once you are in the ring with him. There's nowhere to run and his pressure will break you down.

i really think pac is worried,everybody says he should win easily,from roach,to all the writers to all the boxing fans,i think thats putting on a lot of pressure on manny,expecting him to win easily,and i think he knows he's in for a fight and all the pressure might be getting to him,now he's probably thinking he "HAS" to ko him because thats what everybody expects him to do,to win easily,i think deep down he is kind of worried

True, with that said I think that Margarito will be able to take Pacquiao's shots. Like he said they might get the early rounds with him coming strong during mid to late rounds.

exactly,i can think of only two fighters who fight like that (pressure and throw lots of punches) segura and brandon rios.....yeah defense is important,but there is a difference here,it's one thing to just stand there and throw punches,let's say like pavlik,he throws punches but is stationary,isn't on top of you,marg is on top of you every second of every round,therefore the opponent has to have great stamina to deal with that and to deal with all the punches coming at you,even if they are landing on your arm,head wherever,they are landing,once marg lands pac will be dealing with the power too,pressure,all punches,thinking how to stay away and to land his shots,pac a hard fight ahead of him

all the guys manny has fought from 140lbs up TRIED to pressure manny but it didn't work...all they got was manny's punches from diff angles...they are on the same mindset that they can overpower the pacman...guess what...they got beaten up

If Cheato comes out full steam ahead at Pac, I don't see this fight lasting more than 2 or 3 rounds.
