can a 148-144 lbs pac stop a 165-160 lbs margarito???

[Pullcounter]

yes pac is heavy handed. he isn't a one-punch KO guy (except with Hatton and Lebwaba and Lucero and... anyways). but he's coming into this fight very light and margarito will be coming into this fight very big. of course we know pac is gonna light margarito up. of course we know margarito will land a fair share of punches (cotto landed and clottey landed). but we also know margarito is a tough guy. he took a one-sided beating from mosley for a long time before he got stopped.

Now, I'm not asking you who's gonna win, or your fight prediction, or whatever... I'm asking you, based on what we know today about the weights, can pac this light be heavy handed enough to stop a margarito this big?

personally, I don't think he can. after the weigh in,

vote and discuss

Don't think so. I had pac by Hattonesque KO. Not anymore. I do think that he could possibly get a stoppage (ref, corner) late in the fight. I'm so nervous for this fight though.

Marg is hungry.

[Russian Crushin]

No

I think it will be a UD for pac

I think that Pacquiao would weigh more than 148. How much did Pacquiao weigh fight night against Clottey?

[-PANDA-]

he might...imo he's either going to beat tony up en route to a decision or rtd late

or tko him late putting him down while he's off balance and barraging him with punches en route to a stoppage

[Seleção No. 13]

He can TKO him with overwhelming punches. He's got the speed to do it.

KO? very little chance at this point, especially with Margarito's chin.


Most likely a UD or late TKO.

I think he weighed 145 for Clottey. I think this fight is pretty much Pac from Clottey fight vs Marg from Cotto fight.

[Spray_resistant]

Yes, Marg has no defense and is going to just be walking into hard punches he can't see that will hurt him.

[Gorilla Dogs]

marg will walk in there 165-170 easily.......

A few extra lbs wouldn't make that much difference to his KO power, it might have made it worse because it would slow him down. You can only add so much weight before the drawbacks start outweighing the benefits.
