Pacquiao vs Margarito

[danny711]

Footspeed, head movement, angles, timing etc. I don't see much more advantages for Margarito other than size and strength.

I agree. The big thing for me is Marg's style and chin. If he can take Manny's punces and walk him down it will be a tough fight, as it would be for any fighter.

I do firmly believe that Manny will be very effective in stepping around Marg and unloading with hard shots all night long.

IMO all of those variables are due to Pac's speed. Speed just doesn't apply to hand speed and foot speed. When people say that Pac uses weird angles I really don't agree. Pac simply throws combinations with in and out movement and stepping to the side. I really think it's more of Pac being really fast than using timing. To me an example of a fighter with great timing is JMM. It's also debatable that Marg has better punching power than Pac, especially at this weight.

I didnt mean Pacqiauo has great timing, i don't believe he does. But in comparison to Margarito his timing is an advantage. same goes for angles, Margarito moves in a straight line, in comparison to Pacqiauo who will constantly move to Margaritos left after he lands a shot(s) and get out of the way of Margarito assualt never allowing him to get into rhythm, i also believe this will stop Margaritos constant output.

In terms of power, single shots its Manny obviously due to his drastic difference in speed. Accumaltive? Meh, i'd still got with Manny, but thats arugable.

The same physical strength that couldn't make a dent in Cotto, Collazo, Cruz, Wright, DLH, etc etc etc and about 20 others?

Mosley was very very strong at lighter weights but his knockout percentage at higher weights is average if anything.

So do you think Pac is stronger than Shane physically? I'd say Shane's power at the higher weights had to be pretty good to be the first fighter to ever knock Margarito out.

the chance of a upset is minimal !!!!! aside from margacheatos hight atvantage i dont see anything else he got going for him!!!! manila ice might not be a defensive wizard like that woman beater floydie , or like that coke head sweet pea but he is more than elusive enough for someone like margacheato aka baldomire 2.5. !!!!! and baldomire 2.5 defence is nonexistant . just look at his fights with clottey , shane or that jackass cotto


exzibit A




if clottey can do that against margacheatos "defense" just think what manilla ice will do

The Marg camp used the weight drain excuse for the Mosley fight. Obviously that's his fault, but if what they have been saying is true, I could see that. Fourty pounds is alot to cut.

Come on man, are u serious? Shane does the same thing to Marg even at 154lbs.

Maybe he does 2 years ago. I don't think it would happen like that today. But Maybe.

I want to see trading but i don't think Roach would let Pac do so if he wanted to he would check put him in check. Pac UD12 with Marg cut on the left eye..

At some point they are going toe to toe. Manny just has to test the waters. It's in his blood.
