    Pacquiao is not going to gain 5 pounds, his handspeed will be the same as it has been for the past several fights.

    Oh I know yeah...like LukO has said on numerous occasions. This will be a repeat of De la Hoya v Pacquiao.

    No it is simple. Pacquiao beats the **** out of Margo anywhere from 147 and up.

    :lol:

    In the Pac/Cotto & Clottey fights you'll see pac likes to take a bit of a breather against the ropes in most rounds, understandable, but Margo will not give him that luxury as to do that is inviting serious trouble regardless of margo being a plodder once he's got you pinned in a corner or on the ropes then you're going to get seriously hurt. I see Pac going for broke from the 1st ring a ding & forcing margo back through sheer punch volume & if it don't have the desired effect then he'd better get on his bike for the rest of the fight.

    Don't think Margarito could possibly be that dead at the weight for that. It will be a similar schooling I suppose though.

    I disagree on that on 2 fronts.

    1. Marg will not be drained at 151

    2. Marg will offer much more than what Oscar did, he is not shot.

    I wasn't implying that Margarito will be dehydrated...but Pacquiao's movement, speed, etc is going to confuse Margarito. I wouldn't be too surprised to see Roach employing the same/or similar gameplan.

    Well yes I agree there. Pacquiao's feet are too quick. Margarito will have issues getting set to punch.

    Margo has an issue with volume punching. This is the only reason P-Williams beat Margo. Margo could not fire off anything because of the berage of punches. Pac will overwhelm him with volumes punching. If Margo corner Pac this plan can be derailed. Even with PED's in his system, Pac will have a hard time taking punches from Margo all night.
