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

[warrenchico]

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

LOL true...

People need to stop making excuses for Mikey. Prefight Mikey was supposedly the smarter and better boxer. He said he was going to be stronger, faster, better defense and with superior timing. What happened???

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.

Yes you are right nobody dispute Manny Career

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.

Clottey was same size as Spence, 5'9 1/2.

Ok.........

[Rip Chudd]

No, dumb statement. Manny is a once in a generation type fighter, Margs was post plaster pretty much done at that point and slow as molasses. Spence was faster than Mikey as well

[hugh grant]

Margarita was a dangerous opponent but a no win situation for pac.
Dangerous with little credit no win situation for pac. Pac s critics were obviously going to downplay that win. But that's fine.. All's fair in love and war.

No relevance at all besides the weight difference

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

I hadnt logged in here in 7 months, i come back and "mikey garcia was robbed", pacs win against margarito was somehow "impressive". Nothing about Margarito was impressive, the only thing impressive was the fact that margarito still continued to get a major payday after having been caught cheating and getting the **** beat out of him.

Also, we never talk about Margarito never avenging his losses to daniel santos. i should make a 2006 era thread on that.

Good idea. Also, include why Sergio never avenged his Margarito loss during his best times.
