    If pac lost to margarito .. does it take all the "juice" away from the pound 4 pound clash vs floyd?

    Of course it does. Mosley beating Floyd would have done the same thing.

    Floyd would love nothing more than for Pac to lose to Margarito so that he can say he whooped the man who whooped the man who beat Pac, therefore he'll say he dont have to fight him.

    Margo punches slower than any fighter Pac has faced recently.
    Also, his foot work is tiny shuffles.
    Margo is like a wind up doll that flails his arms like a 40's cartoon character, plant feet/wind up, plant feet/wind up.

    This is not happening.

    Pacquiao opened as a 6-1 favorite in Vegas. This is generous for Margo IMO. It's going to be a beating.

    Depends. Styles make fights and Marg is much larger than PAC. Floyd not so much. From a stylistic POV Marg is made for PAC, but the size and physical advantages may be too much to over come. I think Manny will beat Marg in a great action packed fight but do realize Marg has advantages that he could use to upset Manny.

    Floyd on the other hand has a style that will cause Manny problems but he won't be holding the kind of size advantage over Manny that Marg will enjoy.

    Two great fights and I hope we get to see them both.....maybe even a Floyd vs Marg fight would be great!

    Yes losing to Margarito makes you irrelevant.

    Considering that marg is at an all time low in his career, emmanuel some how miraculously finding a way to lose to marg would be laughable. emmanuel dapidran should just go retire if he loses to someone with the skills of marg. This is like being upsetted by a tune-up.

    If by some chance in hell it does happen then Floyd should go fight Martinez or Williams, otherwise retire.

    By what i was saying is, it would be completely shocking and pacquiao would lose a lot of his 'weight' in boxing opinion.

    I don't know if your statement had a 4th dimension to it, but does that mean Cotto is irrelevant? :think

    pacuiao vs mayweater is irrelevant NOW! mayweather whips manny's butt in a boring 12 round decision.
