The real question is does Margarito have the power? Not Pacquiao.

[Mojita]

We still dont know if Margaritos power is legit or not. The Garcia fight didnt convince me either. What if Marg cant hurt Pacquiao? Hes in deep **** then. I still dont believe he has power without plaster.

[Gorilla Dogs]

Couldnt stop a journeyman...he wont hurt pac, dont worry easy money

[ИATAS]

I dunno man, video of him training he looks like he has heavy hands.

I have no idea if and when he started using plaster, but I don't personally believe he's used it all of his career and I think he's always been a pretty heavy handed dude.

he never had that one punch KO power though, just heavy hands that wear you down over time.

Plus, the size difference is a factor. When has pacquiao fought someone this big? Never. Clottey did some damage and barely landed. Is clottey a harder puncher than Margarito? I doubt it and margarito is bigger, so who knows how the punches will feel to pacquiao

[Mersey]

If he throws as many punches as he normally does, then yes he does have the power.

[Crazylegs77]

Its simple really, you see, Margarito he is a cheater, the supreme court found him guilty..cheaters never win therefore he will not win and has no power in his hands at all.

[Rick Grimes]

Margarito has a good chance if he can survive until the late rounds, Pacquiao will slow down.

[-GDS-]

I think he was a cheater regardless of what happens tomorrow, but he'll have enough power to stop Manny even if he was a cheater. Now I think Pac will win, but Pac isn't a full real welter and his welter chin isn't unbreakable, and if a bigger Marg who's 150 at weigh in, 160+ fight night punches down on Pac for several rounds, he will be in serious trouble.

[Pullcounter]

if marg lands enough punches including the upper cut...

[sigrab jr]

If you've been watching boxing for at least 3 years you would know Margarito is a pressure fighter with a good chin. He's not known for having power, he has decent power, enough to make you cautious and not give him free hits. He's no Paulie Malignaggi/Yuri Foreman, but he's no Marcos Maidana or JuanMa Lopez either.

Clottey is a harder puncher than Margarito imo, he just can't finish anyone. Besides, power is a product of speed + weight behind the punch. Margarito does not have speed, and while he is big, he doesn't put his bodyweight behind his punches. This is why so many people believe Marg is a cheater, he is an armpuncher yet her destroys faces as much as he does. Margarito doesn't end anything with 1 punch.
