Wasn't Mosley More Impressive Against Margarito?

[Hallaqsillaq]

Put it into context - Pacquiao is a dwarf compared to Margarito, it's like a boy fighting a man. Plus, Margarito fought just after being exposed as a cheat, which must have mesed with his head and game plan. So no, Mosley's victory is not more impressive.

Pac and Cotto in their fight were nearly of equal size. Go watch it again and compare. Pac has tools Cotto doesn't have, like stamina, and a lack of appreciation and affection for Don Q lol.

Mosley kept landing Hayemakers
Those 10 punch combos from Pac did more damage to him

They are 2 different guys have 2 completely different styles

LMAO You do realize that its spelled Haymaker not HAYEmaker?

David is so awesome, he's altered the boxing lexicon.

Stop nit picking. The margarito that was about to face Pac, people were saying how great he looked and awesome in the gym. The Margarito that fought SSM was nothing.

Margarito is stronger at LMW. He was only no1 WW because he beat Cotto, and he got busted up by Cotto and thats why SSM had good success againsst him.
Margarito was nice and recuperated against Pac. Rejuvenated. YOu heard Margarito talk before the fight. It said it all. Margarito was reborn.

look it was just promoting that fight by saying that Margarito is at his best and looking better then ever and by saying Manny is distracted and not the same. toprank was trying to sell a fight where Manny was favorite at -500 as a competitive fight


people been saying that Margarito chin was cracked and exposed by Mosley and is not the same fighter without the plasters in his gloves but once he signed the Manny fight most people forget that

[letsgobrady]

pacquiao did what all fighters and trainers predicted so he did what he was expected to do where as shane did what most thought was impossible and knocked margo out so i feel like shanes win over margo was the better win

[hugh grant]

Look people, SSM isnt a better boxer than manny so stop this SSM did better garbage. Pac beat Cotto and Margarito. SSM lost to Cotto, and Floyd has only fought and beat SSM.

So Pac is just a winner at the end of the day.

Really, aside from the fact that your a Floyd fan. It is already a given. the next ***** that comes in here will have the same opinion as you.. Anything to discredit Manny uplifts Floyd.

I don't see how Mayweather has anything to do with the question. But looking at your post you're not any more objective than a ***** when it comes to Pacquiao.

Equally impressive. I think Shane still has more one punch raw power because he put tony out with much much less punches.

Pac ****ked him up way more though. hit him clean with alot of power shots. What happened against Shane is actuially healthier for Tony than what happened against Pac.

Now this.

Shane's shots, like what you have just said, is RAW POWER. Whereas Pacquiao's punches had more sting and pop in it. Different kinds of power.

Both can damage fighters depending on the frequency of blows. Pacquiao is a much smaller man, lighter albeit more agile but nevertheless equally (or more) impressive.

Me being a Floyd fan has little to do with my opinion on who put on a more impressive performance. I don't see how it discredits Pacquiao in the same breath it is easy to argue that Manny put on a better performance against Cotto than Mosley did.

I don't see how this uplifts Floyd either. Styles make fights, having an easier time with a fighter than X doesn't exactly prove a lot.

Look at the people posting and what they post.. I state the obvious. This has everything to do with Floyd to the *****s on here posting. Is there a ***** out there that thinks otherwise. How can you get an objective opinion when all *****s want to do is discredit manny for the benefit of Floyd. ****** opinions like; Margarito was weight drained against Manny when he weighed 147 against Shane has ***** written all over that comment.

What we should keep in mind though that PACQUIAO didn't want to hurt Margarito in the latter rounds. Around 10ish, he was holding back already and just shuffling a la' ALI. If Pacquiao would follow up his punches just right about the 10th, he can put Margarito to sleep.

If we consider the size difference, the weight difference of 17 pounds...Pacquiao is more impressive.

He displayed more than sheer power but finesse, combination speed, footwork, ringmanship AND SPORTMANSHIP.

Compassion towards Margarito.
