Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Expected to Win, But Margarito Expecting to Win

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Ryan ******** - As Manny Pacquiao ascends the boxing scales with seemingly wanton disregard for size disparities, you have to wonder if - at 150 pounds - "The Pacman" is close to biting off more than he can chew.

Antonio Margarito - his durable nemesis for Saturday's clash at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX - stands nearly five inches taller and has fought in the welterweight and junior middleweight divisions for the majority of his career.

Pacquiao, who won his first world title over a decade ago at just 112 pounds, is seeking his eighth world title in as many weight classes when he challenges for the vacant WBC junior middleweight title.

Margarito, a three-time welterweight champion, is making his second attempt at capturing a title in this division.

Most feel that Margarito (38-6, 27 KO) of Torrance, California by way of Tijuana, Mexico is not the ceiling in Pacquiao's career but rather a hand-picked foil that lacks the necessary speed and career momentum to pull off the upset. Margarito is the third consecutive Top Rank-promoted stablemate that Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KO) of General Santos City, Philippines has faced. [Click Here To Read More]

Pac is not a -650 favorite to win

fight night he will be a 3-1 favorite

Obviously. Most fighters are expecting to win their fights. Pacquiao can't lose this one, I don't see it.

Nope. the lowest he will get is 4.5 to 1. Margo should walk in a 5 to one underdog on fight night. Clottey was 6 to 1, and Cotto was 4.5 to one.

By the time I had spoken to Paulie, that's what the odds were.

It wouldn't be the biggest shock I've seen but you have to trust the betters when it comes to a Pacquiao fight.
