    Remember Cotto vs Pac, and how people believed Cotto's body punches will be the key??

    And how that will be Pac's downfall? Remember how the actual fight went, when Pac was on the ropes while Cotto was trying to destroy Pac's body? Then Pac followed with an uppercut knockdown?

    Now alot of us are talking about how Marg's uppercut and bodypunches will be the key. All I can say is to keep the Cotto-Pac fight in mind. I won't be surprised if similar thing happens, when Pac invites Marg to hit him in the body/uppercuts and Lampley going "Roach thinks this is a VERY BAD IDEA!" lol.

    The last time ive seen cotto throw and use his signature body hooks properly was the Jennings fight. they werent there in the Clottey fight and he was throwing them ridiculously ****** in the Pac fight. And plus these are two different styles.. if Pac can hit Margs while hes trying to set or hitting Marg will always be off balance imo..but Marg doesnt even hit that hard without plaster so i wouldnt be surprised if Pac looked like superman taking some shots in there.

      LOL! I was confused when that happened, I didn't see a punch connect but the way he was covering up I thought he was badly hurt, that was sick the way he turned cotto onto the ropes and threw 3-4 uppercuts, the last one stunning Cotto.

      But yea, similar sort of fight except Cotto tried to outbox Pacquiao, Margarito will just go straight at him like a steam train. Cant wait!!

        pac really covered well his body against cotto even when he got pinned on the ropes. he opened up his ears instead.

          lol he sure did, and now he has that cauliflower ear. I wonder what kind of permanent damage he'll get from Marg.

            I had a lot of fights with PR fans because i said Cotto was slow, NO slow fighter would ever beat this version of Pac, The Margarito fight would also be a slow HD beating..in slow motion.

              Cotto is a better fighter than Margaresto. You'll see.

                  i agree with ts.

                  margo has no chance against pac. it's like, margo is fighting with handicap coz he's not allowed to use his wraps while pac is on peds.

                    Every once in a while I worry about Margarito pulling off the upset.

                    But then I remember how fast Pacquiao is and how slow he made Cotto look.

                    Pacquiao looks to be faster this time around. He doesn't have that bulky muscle he had for the Cotto/Clottey (especially Clottey) fight. He looks a little bit leaner, as if he trained specifically for speed.

                    Pacquiao should win. It's going to be an entertaining beating while it lasts. Margarito's heart and determination is what will keep this fight going...nothing else.
