Comments Thread For: Erik Morales: Margarito Could End Pacquiao With One Shot

[switchsouthpaw]

Nothing is out of the realm of possibility, however, it's quite a stretch. Marg couldn't land anything of significance against a less frenetic type of fighter in Mosley. I doubt he could do it with Pac.

It's bitter a bit for the fact Morales has said in past articles on this website that he feels that Margarito is a disgrace and a cheater in this sport and that Morales talked about how he used to school Margarito in the amateurs. So, Morales says that Margarito is a cheater but at the same time is rooting for this cheater against Pacquiao?

He's not even saying that he's rooting for Margo. Morales could still feel that Margo is a cheater but that doesn't mean he's going to write off Margo's chances. Morales is well aware that Margo is a good strong fighter that will always be dangerous and is a live underdog who could very well win this fight.

LOL everybody on here talks of Pac as if he is Pernel Whittaker or Wilfred Benitez. Pac is going to get hit and hit hard.

Former three time world champion Erik 'El Terrible' Morales is hoping that his countryman, Antonio Margarito, can overcome the odds by beating Manny Pacquiao on November 13 in Texas. [/URL]]

Tell me how that isn't rooting for a fighter?

A better boxer by the name of Oscar De La Hoya couldn't really hit Pacquiao, how is Maracheato who is much slower than Oscar?

Margarito has never KO'd a world class fighter with 1 punch.

All his KO's have come from accumulation of punches.

To accumulate punches... you have to land.

well maybe im blind but pac hasnt ko'd anybody since hatton with one punch and before then even longer. pac wins on accumaltion too.and tht was at 140lbs.after featherfisted floyd ko'd him. pac gets hit a lot by even non aggressors like cotto and clottey his defense really is a bads margs is, so saying margs wont hit him is just wishful thinking.if margs survives the early onslaugt 2 or 3 rnds its going to be a very hard fight for manny.

it could happen..

we'll just have to wait and see if iMarg can do it.

WTF u talking about? Manny's defense is bad? Manny let Cotto and CLottey hit him at will just to prove to everyone he has an iron chin. watch the fight again specially against Clottey. he was letting him hit because the fans were booing. and Manny is a slugger dont expect him to fight ala Mayweather or Hopkins. that dude made his name fighting toe to toe in the ring.

[Cotto 54/10]

Pacquiao will win no matter what.

Tell me how that isn't rooting for a fighter

I don't see a quote where Morales says "Yes I'm rooting for Margo".

Former three time world champion Erik 'El Terrible' Morales is hoping that his countryman, Antonio Margarito, can overcome the odds by beating Manny Pacquiao on November 13 in Texas.

This is a journalist who didn't even ask him who he was rooting for, but assume he wants Margo to win because both are Mexicans.

whatever fanboy , mannys defense is real bad,period, its not been an issue cuz hess been fighting losers latley who dont put up a fight.just because manny is a fast brawler that doesnt not mean his defense is good. hes defense is not good at all. he relies on offense. jmm punched the shiatt outta him in both fights and out landed pac in both fights, the only fighter to do so since.
