Do you think Marg/Pac is going to be a slugfest?

[starkiller]

If its a slugfest Maracheato has a chance at winning, if its a boxing match it will be a mis-match and Pacquiao will stop Margacheato. I think Margacheato is tailor-made for Pacquiao. Margarito isn't slick, fast, or anything special. He is just a walking punching heavybag.

[IronDanHamza]

Yeah it will but Pacqiauo will win most of the exchanges and be out of range, Margarito wont be able to mount on offense Pacqiauo will be in and out. Todays Pacqiauo Vs 2006 Margarito would be a little more competitive but Pacqiauo still beats the hell out of him.

Manny will jump in and out. He will use angles to attack Margarito from and will have him searching and swinging at air for as long as the fight lasts. This will NOT be a slugfest.

[Foolkiller]

Pac is not Floyd, he will not be happy with running for 12 rds. There will come a time when Manny straight up fights and that will make it interesting.

[Pullcounter]

fight goes 1 of 2 ways.

1) pac slugs w/ margarito to see if he can hang. if he can't, then he'll start boxing.

2) pac boxes w/ margarito until he know margarito isn't a threat. then pac starts playing around

I agree , only thing is, i see mrag hurting pac with his heavy punches

[El Chicano]

If it is, Manny receives a beatdown.

I'm expecting the type of Pacquiao that went against De La Hoya to appear vs. Margarito. It shall, therefore, be all up to Tony to try not to look the way Oscar did. A possible tactic is just to let go of punches. Something that Margarito has shown to have been very capable of (over 1,200 punches over 12 rounds a few years ago) and one that Oscar did very, very little of. But that shall have its inherent dangers, among them, (a) the few that land may not be as effective as thought, (b) getting countered silly, (c), gassing out early, (d) all of the above.

Another tactic is to make Pacquiao work in the early to middle rounds and take the fight to the late rounds to see if the new weight shall have any negative effects on Pacquiao's stamina and movement. In addition, there are all those reported issues in Pacquiao's training, which, if true, can make Pacquiao lose a half a step late in the fight. These can be exploited but, to do that, the prerequisite of having a Margarito that is much, much more fit than Pacquiao has to be met.

It will be a good fight with Margs going to the body and Pac unloading with 5 punch combinations to the face. I can't wait for this fight, I don't care what anyone says, this one will be a war. Tony, the ****** cheater, is looking like a monster and Pac will be trying to prove to the world that he is a legend...it'll be awesome.

[ThunderWolf]

Pacquiao can fight so far and so near. There will be no headbutts because of the height difference, only chin butts. There could be low blows by Margarito because Pac`s midsection is too small.

Marg needs space to unleash his bombs, so Pac can fight inside but has to be aware of the elbows.
