Comments Thread For: Antonio Margarito: "All Manny Pacquiao Will Have is Speed"

[TintaBoricua]

Margarito has never been recognized as a smart fighter. He can surely take a punch and average 100 thrown per round, but he's not smart. DLH, Hatton & Cotto all made the same mistake; they all thought they were bringing the power into the ring because they all were bigger than Manny. Margarito missed that lesson. Manny could have all the distractions in the world and Margarito wouldn't make it past 5 rounds.

Also, the great Carlos Palomino raised concerns about Margarito's weight. If you saw part 3 of 24/7, how can Margs lose 4 more pounds on that frame?

Thank you for the reminder to everyone!

Margarito is not excluding himself from the rest...he's making the same mistake everyone has made: "I'm bigger, I can beat him. I'm stronger, I can beat him!"

And on the night of the fight, speed kills. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, if Margarito is knocked down, it's more due to the speed and unexpectedness of the punches rather than Pacquiao's power.

That's all Mosley had too. Of course, Manny has twice the power of Roidless Mosley....and Margarito has half the power of Margaresto

What if he's right? What if the best Manny can hope for is a decision victory? Paul Williams barely survived to win the decision by throwing over 100 punches per round, but he had all the physical advantages. You heard it from the horse's mouth, the toughest fight Williams had was Tony. Maybe Pac will have the power to destroy Tony, but he didn't have the power to destroy: DLH, Cotto, Diaz, Clottey or Marquez. All them were able to take the punches, but were overwhelmed by the speed, and stopped fighting. What if Tony who has a better chin doesn't stop? Sparring partner for Hatton and Marg has stated he had Hatton out about 3 times before he was told to stop going hard. All the credit in the world to Pac for the spectacular KO of Hatton, but he wasn't exactly iron jawed. This is going to be a war, and regardless of the result we will be in for a treat. I really can see this turning into a Chavez vs Taylor like fight, or even better a Margarito vs Cotto.

Great observation!

Margo is just a tune up fight for PAc. Margaplaster is a shot fighter eversince Sugar handed him his azz. Pac will outbox and outclass the cheater. Marga doesn't even have any power since he does not have his loaded gloves.

It is whatit is .

[NECK SNAPPER]

the only advantage margarito has is he is taller. all the other advantages go to
pacman. i will never see margarito the same after shane pounded him out easy.

Manny does not have the same power Mosley has. Pacquiao is deadly accurate, that's why his shots are more devastating because they land flush. He's not stronger or more powerful than Mosley though.

DLH, HATTON, CLOTTEY. COTTO now MARGA pac has no power we wont hurt me they all say the same shi t and then WHAT???? Its a good thing to hype the fight but in the ring is different. Good luck CHEATO

I asked once, how much money marg bet on himself at Vegas and haven gotten an answer yet. Why? because tis is a fixed fight. In the real world pac have no chance against marg. But, because margarito agree to make 6 millions with the loosing codition then pac will prevail and the mayweather mega fight will happen in 2011. This is easy to see. Just don't understand how come this bunch of morons in this site are to ****ing blind to see this. Still waiting for someone to tell me how much marg bet on himself since the odds are so good high against him so he can make a very good amount of money. Don't think he will bet anything. nitramzaid@hotmail.com

i hope english is your second language.

guys lets keep it real! Margarito is right! He has fought and beaten real Jr Middleweights! I just don't see the speed being a factor either! i feel like Margarito will be able to get his shots in, because Pacquiao has not shown too great of a defense! If you look back at the Cotto fight, Pacquiao took alot of breaks during the fight! he leaned on the ropes after he traded with Cotto but we all know Cotto is not a pressure fighter so he didn't attack the way Margarito will! I think that if Pacquiao starts trading with Margarito, Pacquiao will tire out and Margarito will knock him out!

[jaestix1]

pac is gonna murder margs....end of story. there shouldn't even be any debate.
