More dangerous opponent for Pacquiao: Margarito or Berto? Official Poll!

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Berto is ***in *****

[Pullcounter]

both present different problems for pac.

margarito will be more dangerous while the fight lasts.

berto will be a boring fight and might go 12 rounds cause berto is prone to hugging and running.

berto is overrated imo collazo beat him if you disagree with that or not thats your opinion but cant deny collazo did have success against berto if it was pacquaio berto would be ko. margarito may not have the skills but has a good chin good stamina and applies lots of pressure he didnt look that good in his last fight but his size will give pacquiao trouble i think pacquiao will win its a toss up fight to me but i could see margarito winning like he did against cotto wearing pacquiao down in the later rounds

Margarito is overrated, he lost to Santos, Paul Williams, Clottey and Mosley. Berto destoryed Carlos Quintana who defeated and dominated Paul Williams, and went to war with Luis Collazo.

Berto, because Pacquiao doesn't do well against pure boxers.

Margarito is just a punching bag that comes forward.

The point of this thread, is fans should crave the most competitive fight. Regardless of styles and belts, at this moment the most competitive fight between Margarito and Berto is Margarito.

that's not the same as "dangerous". will berto frustrate pac with his speed and power... yes. is berto more dangerous than margarito? hell no. berto will run and hug and try to last 12 rounds. margarito will be dangerous as long he's able to stand and throw punches.

Margarito is just a punching bag that comes forward.

nah... clottey is a punching bag... margarito actually throws punches back.

I didn't take "dangerous" to mean "competitive".

berto will be more competitive w/ pac in some respects, but he won't be as dangerous as margarito.

It depends on what you mean by dangerous. If you mean who presents the best chance at beating him, I think it's Berto. Marquez wasn't truly a pure boxer, but he was the closest thing to it among all of Pacquiao's opponents. And we all know how close those fights were.

All opponents who constantly come forward at Pacquiao become punching bags, though. Just look at what happened to Hatton. Hatton puts a lot of pressure and he's faster with his punches than Margarito is, yet Pacquiao made easy work of him.

How can it be a sham when the fight like you say is goin' to be entertaining. I mean thats the reason why we buy the PPV's to begin with, right? Anything else is just inconsequential...
The belts are there just there to promote this fight, which is what Top Rank is suppose to do.. But its the nature of the competitiveness for this fight that sells..

Yup,I said it'll be entertaining,that part is fine,but having Pacman go for a record 8th div title by beating Margarito is indeed a sham!!People spout on about title not meaning anything well they actually do mean something!!But most posters on here have it Backwards,Titles are more meaningful than pfp,pfp is a mythical term,championships are real,they shouldn't be thrown around like pfp is not!!Lesser fighters than Pacman have went up in weight & beaten real ****ing champions at that weight!!But the pfp king #2 welterweight is fighting for a vacant belt against a cheater for a record 8th division & ya'll are ok with that,it's simply amazing!!
