PAC-Margarito: Have you seen a worse a** whippin' of a little man over a big man?!

[BoZz]

speed kills..margarito has no defense..he's slow and his foot work is sh**..that fight was tailor made for him..but for the money margarito received i would take a whoopin too.

Tony was 1 round away from seeing his creator. Money aint **** if you're dead. PAC was on the dot when he said boxing is not for killing that's why he eased up in the last minute of the 11th and the whole of 12th.

That kind of beating should never happen again in boxing. **** Roberto Garcia. Margarito still cant spar 6 months after the fight.

, Pac takes advantage of that by enforcing things that hurt the opponent Floyd doesnt , FMJ had JMM come up to him that doesnt hurt a fighter the way forcing them down does its a totally different ball park as far as health goes .Buddy look a littler deeper than the beat down , you will always find there are reasons things happen , you only ever see your boy !

Oh i see, is this why Floyd dont ever do down in weight, so he gets all the advantages?

Going down to 140 against Haton would be torture wouldnt it be for him, as would going down to 140 for JMM.

I dont supposed hed go down to Pacs natural 140 weight to fight pac as well?

we all know margarito wasn't a particularly good win. any elite ww/jr mw wouldve beaten him on that night. props to pac on winning impressively but the fight was a sham and we all know it

We all know the Margarito was a classic win and will go down in history as one of the most amazing beatings of all times in fact. Margarito has only lost once and nobody does that to Margarito. So how does any WW, or JMW beaten him like Pac did that night?

SRR wouldnt have beaten him like what Pac did! Pac is famous for beating people like nobody else does. That is what he is famous for! From knocking hatton out in 2 rounds, to making Clottey like a tortoise, to being the only man to ever stop Morales, to controlling Cotto and Margarito like he did and make them look like grotesque elephant men. No fighter in history showed that consistency to give plastic surgery to the biggest names in the sport of boxing like Pac does and did. Not even SRR and Ali.

Pac sets precedents left right and centre. The greatest fighter who ever lived.

Margarito didnt train properly for SSM as he expected to kill SSM, considering he just destroyed Cotto. But he maybe fought SSM too soon after the Cotto fight, which was a hard fight.

But he came back better after losing to SSM. Have you heard from the old saying you learn more from defeat than winning?

But when Pac was fighting at 135lbs, no one in their right mind would have believed Pac would be destroying name guys like Margarito like that.

In fact i dont think anyone could do that to Margarito, be it Duran or SRL.

6 months later is too soon??
so a fighter should lose all the time so he could learn from it??

Not lose on purpose obviously, but you will learn from a loss for sure. Thats obvious though am i right? Am i missing something?

how do you know? youre going by the bs rehydrate weigh ins(which incidently can be inaccurate) that those fights didnt have.

I mean hell, Duran looked tiny against Barkley, who was huge for a Middleweight and even ended his career at HW. for all we know, Duran had a 20lb disadvantage in that fight, since he only weighed 156lbs and Barkley could have easily rehydrated up 15lbs.

Those weigh ins are all off. hence the "unofficial" hbo/showtime scale, etc

those guys step on the scales wearing shoes and heavy clothes lol
some of them step on the scale with very little clothing


max kellerman might enjoy it more than the next man, but he's not going to tell these guys to strip down for an unofficial weigh in


Unrelated: were you once blackirish?

hey homie , my problem has always been how they down play pac's win over margo like it happens all the time when infact history states that the closest to that ever happening is from fights from the 1890's and 1920's or so...get me...and all you did was attack my character in this thread,nothing more...

smaller men beat bigger men all the time, champ
all the time

if you look through the record of your favorite prospect you'll likely see plenty of men that have operated a weight class or two below on his ledger
you might even see a few names of guys that regularly takes fights at higher weights.



pacquiao's win over margarito was certainly spectacular in terms of the presentation of the beating. and it was a hell of a beating.
margarito was the perfect dance partner for that sort of a show

but he's been taking flush bombs for well over a decade now
he's good and shot
and many of his wins (w/ capetillo at the end of their run together) are in question
he's just not a significant win in historical terms




manny's beating of miguel cotto, de la hoya, barerra 1, morales two, ricky hatton, are all more impressive, in my eyes, because of the hall of famers on the other half of the ledger

and cotto, de la hoya, hatton all enjoyed a natural advantage of size
