    Spence/Garcia made Pacquiao's win over Margarito more impressive

    The fight between Spence and Garcia made Pacquiao's win over Margarito more impressive.

    Do you agree with the above statement?

    Spence like Margarito had the height, power, reach advantage over his opponent, and used them all to dominate the whole fight as expected.

    Pacquiao brushed all of these advantages off and wrecked Margarito. Let's not pretend that Margarito was a bum at junior middleweight that time.

    Just stop. Margarito is nowhere as skilled as Spence. All margartio had is power. That’s it. He’s pretty one dimensional. Please research first before posting bullshît. They fought at a catchweight of 150lbs and nit at JMW.

      Margarito was unranked and hadn't had an impressive win in years.

        All he had was height and physical strength. Blow for blow I feel Manny was the definitely the more "explosive" puncher.

          Margarito had grit. Went pro at 15 years of age, only reason why he could bulldoze many of his opponents at 147. A better version of Jesus Soto Karass, but as basic

          Mikey would beat Margarito at 147.

            That was a good win but Margarito had seen better days. Manny's performance over Cotto is a better example.

              Mikey lost because he sucks. Leave Manny and Margarito out of it.

                True and it was abundantly more entertaining.

                  I think TS is going for the size angle. Big vs Small.

                    Cotto was just as big, Margarito was just taller. Both maxed out at 154. Pacquiao also beat Clottey who was a big welterweight as well.
