How does someone as slow as Margarito have a chance against Pac??

Only if Margo uses his superior size and strength to make it a dirty and ugly fight one in which he mauls and holds and fouls Pac, he must also mount an all out sustained body attack, which over the course of the fight will break Pac down. That's what he must do to beat him. He doesn't stand a chance any other way because Pac will move in and out on him like he did Oscar and Margo will be forced to reset over and over

 

147 up, he has a better chance than JMM.

 

He has to win the "punch output" battle and time the right hand perfectly.

 

Margo is heavily underdog and will get very little credit if he wins

 

:deal Manny will not be the only one punching. Margo has a much better chance at hurting Pac than many people here are giving him credit for.

 

Pac fighting at 150 is almost surreal. I don't know if he will be able to stop Margo in his tracks. The thing is, Margo's chin in legendary, or rather WAS legendary. Right now we don't know if Mosley cracked it permanently or not. He didn't look to hot in his last fight but maybe he just needed to shake off some rust.

I like this fight being at 150 because it will make Margo come in good shape. If Margo is in good shape then there's no reason for him to struggle making 150.

One thing I'm confident of is that Pac can take a better punch than Cotto and is more skilled and more accurate. But I think Cotto hits harder than Pac and is alot stronger so Pac will have to expand even more energy to stay away from Margo if he is back in top form.

 

on the real nobody is a good match for Paq right now... He's in freakish shape and is extremely focused in his training.... the only mildly appealing bout would be with mayweather but even he seems scared to step into the ring...

Are you actually implying that Mayweather beating P4P Marquez shouldn't be given much merit ? :think Surprizing comment coming from you...

 

Margo's chin may just allow him to make it to the cards but he'll get killed on points.

Pac by wide UD.

 

Physical advantages similar to those Margo will hold over Pac. Segura also had near 12lbs in weight over Calderon as well as being younger and cracked him to the body repeatedly.

Margarito will hold about the same weight and size advantages over Pacquiao so it will be interesting to see what happens. When Margo fought Cotto, both weighed about the same at around 160lbs. Pac will be the smallest and lightest (150lbs or less) opponent Margarito has fought in a long time.

 

been saying that...

Tony had trouble with shane's speed..pac is a lot quicker..


I said before the mosley-margarito fight that tony wont be able to deal with the speed over and over and over..

Pac will be in and out before tony gets off...he not fighting a fast cotto..he fightin a fukin flash manny pacquiao...he just dont have the natural speed to deal with it..

He also dont have the skill or timing either....its not margaritos game..he might apply a lot of pressure but pac will be gone before he can apply it...

 

i remember b4 the hatton pac fight most people on here gave pacman little chancewhen the fight was 1st talked about in 08....and look what happenedatsch when margarito clashed with mosley the same thing againatsch b4 the mosley fight happened there were threads about margarito fighting pacman and most people gave pac a hope saying it was a mismatch:huh
what has changed? whatever happens,i dont think its a mismatch.

 

Body shots are the key for MArgarito, but 99.9% sure he's gonna get blitzed.

Shane also knows how to clinch effectively which also stopped Margarito from coming forward whereas Pacquiao does not.

 

:goodPretty much on point.

 

Pressure, volume punching, act like the bigger man and rough Pac up every chance he gets. Lots of serious body work early in the fight. That sort of strategy requires Tony to stay right in Pac's face. That will not be easy due to Pacman's foot speed.
