    this. ..............

And BTW that weight disadvantage in the ring would be the same when he fought Tito who, BTW, was a champ at 154 and 160, higher weights Margarito was never successful in, unless you want to count losses to Daniel Santos and Pacquiao at a catchweight.
      tito at 147 would blow up to 165? that's kind of insane

        Tito would come in the ring at 160 plus - which wasn't something abnormal for him during the peak of his reign - and that would still constitute as a sizable advantage. During that era, Tito and Ike were big welters who almost always ballooned over 160 on fight night.

You probably didn't notice but my argument isn't that Manny wouldn't land, it's that Tito would. Harder than Pacquiao's ever been hit before. And Tito has taken some heavy shots in his career from heavier punchers.
          they didn't land a couple of times, they landed alot

          The real question is, what makes you think Pacquiao could withstand Tito's punches?
          i never pick a fighter when all he has is a punchers chance in my eyes
          his guard and stance, just can't help but see a manny right hook and left right on the kisser staggering, weak body would get worked, and after that he'd be harmless enough i'd say in the later rounds

          Why don't you see it? Just because you don't see it? I'm not arguing that Pacquiao wouldn't land more, I'm arguing that Tito wouldn't have to.
          crazy one-shot punch ko possible, not likely

          When he fought Mosley maybe. By the time he fought Manny is a different story.
          well this is just....eh

            When they feel Pac's power and speed, they will all fall apart. He hasn't even gone in his best gears TBH.

              well regardless, im thinking of the whitaker fight, whitaker about the size of manny, except pacquiao is bulkier, faster, stronger, maybe not as slick, but whitaker wasn't exactly being slick niether

              that version of trinidad, i'd pick pacquiao by murder

                Cortes got KTFO in 3 or 4 rounds, did you even watch the fight? Save for late in the first and midway through the second, he ate plenty and dished out little in return. And if you think Whitaker landed a lot on Tito you obviously didn't watch that fight either.

                A puncher's chance? That's what Felix Trinidad, one of the greatest welters of all time, a guy who had 15 title defenses and was considered one of the top two best fighters in the world during his prime, and a pound for pound entrant for eons would have? You're off your rocker.

                  Whitaker got his ass kicked from pillar to post. I'm not sure what fight you saw. Time to watch again. Tito landed something like 60% of his power punches or overall shots, I don't remember. I'm not even thinking of that version of Tito who, by that point, was already feeling the effects of killing himself to make 147. If not for the Oscar fight, he would have moved up right after. I'm not sure what comparison you're making here.

                      really? are you gonna make me rewatch everything?

                      yes, want me to get corny? manny pacquiao one of the greatest fighters of all time, 8 division champion, considered best fighter in the world in his prime and blah blah...i can't bother




                      Right.
                      i dont know what you want me to say, the cotto is chinny is an opinion, and a senseless one at that with nothing to back it up

                      why is he chinny, because he took a knee vs margarito?
