    Margarito is coming to fight and is fighting for redemption. His only chance is to bully Paq and continue to come foward at all costs ala Cotto. He needs to catch Paq early because he won't wear him down as Paq's cardio is excellent.

    Marg is at +475 right now.

    That's insane.

    All you did was read Vivek's article on the main page, pick up on a point and then try and argue it as your own.


    LAME!!

    :nono You're not good enough making stupid **** up. 'Pacquiao is overrated' does make a lot of sense given the right context (*******s and their ATG hunt). 'Pacquiao has overrated footwork' however is pure, clean, BS-free stupidity. Like a perfect short hook delivered right to your balls.

    They're both bob arum fighters. Do you think that crook would let manny lose to tony/ No way. Like Roger Mayweather says,''If Margarito loses ,it's because he took a dive!!'' I agree. who trusts arum? pac's opponants are generally hand picked to make him look god,.And a t catchweights. More bull****.

    yes it is very overrated...quick feet yes...technically sound (orthodox or unorthodox, doesn't matter) he is good but nothing great...he actually comes in off balance sometimes....

    Overrated by some.

    His offensive footwork is 2nd to none at the minute...but his defensive footwork is overrated by a good number on this forum. I think the people who claim Pacquiao has great defensive footwork only base this on the videos on Youtube of Pacquiao shadowboxing. He has great foot speed...and his footwork is good/great overall.

    pacs footwork is perfect. it allows him to get in range to put beatings on the best fighters, severe beatings.

    floyd is still hiding.

    when boxers arent athletic they have to learn footwork but cats like Pac and for example Hector Camacho are blessed with glorious footwork but its a natural byproduct of their athletecism. Moving your feet in a quick and coordinated manner where you are balanced to throw punches. Lummoxes or lurches must work on this its called footwork.

    its best to first know what the hell you are talking about before posting a thread

    the fight all depends on margarito's chin

    if his chin comes back in cotto form and he has the same focus he did in the cotto fight.... he could win
    if his chin is washed up he loses.

    end of story...

    Chin or no chin, when he's getting battered like a baby seal the ref will stop it long before he falls down
