I'm not a Pac fan by any stretch.... But he gets props if he beats Margarito.

How can anyone honestly try to discredit this fight?


Margo is a tough draw for anyone in his weight range, regardless of his apparent lack of certain skills. He is tough, effective, and always well-conditioned.


Pac has his hands full. I am really looking forward to this one.

 

So you fall into the category of those who believe that the Mosley fight was the first time Margo attempted to cheat?

 

We don't know how much Margo has left. If he's the Margo of Cotto then I agree it's a dangerous fight but I seriously doubt Team Pac would have taken this fight if they thought it was that version of Margo. Just like Roach said "I've seen your last 2 fights". That tells me everything I need to know.

 

i agree its not a bad fight to take....

but the gaps in talent just has me thinking this is an easy fight especially when you have a great trainer in your corner who will give you a vry good game plan.

Plus it dont take a rocket scientist to see that Pac can outbox this guy without having to take any serious damage and he has the speed to do so rather easy.

 

Margo is still a tough fight. Pac will fighting below the agreed weight and margo will be about 160 on fight night. i dunno how can pac handle a MW power and how can his punches be effective hitting the big guy.

 

Well it's certainly better than going on a vacation.

And I agree, he deserves props if he wins as impressively as Mosley.

 

Pretty much. Its Pacs fight to lose and Margo has to take it. Pac can play Prevent D and coast, hopefully he gives us excitement instead.

 

You do realise before floyd went on vacation he beat the man that nearly took margo head off in that ring that night.

 

You do realise that's no excuse to duck the "midget" Pacquiao, and go on another vacation instead.

 

It's an extremely dangerous fight for Pacquiao, of course it is. He faces massive disadvantages in height, reach, strength and will probably be about 15lbs lighter than his opponent in the ring. 150lbs is a great weight for a big, natural welter like Margo as well.

 

my thoughts exactly...u said it better....Pac's fight to lose really.

 

I don't see it as a duck at all if floyd is willing to fight again next year. He was ready to go in march PAC pretended that he couldn't have his blood drawn in 14 days before fight, now he agreeing to 7. Shows PAC cud have agreed to floyd demand jn march just like how floyd agreed to pac's demands.

 

Margarito got caught once and no other time, so although common sense might lead you to believe he cheated before, there is no definitive yes or no answer to your question, and never will be unless he/Capetillo owns up to it.

But thats not even relevant here though, the guy just stated he thinks Pacquiao has his hands full. And i for one more than agree with him.

 

Ok.

Schaefer: "We're working hard to make this happen."

Oscar: "We're almost there now. The fight could be announced soon"

Ellerbe: "There's been no negotiations. We haven't recieved an offer"

Greenburg: "Yes there have you lying piece of ****. I've been working tirelessly on it for the past month!"

Ellerbe: "Erm...Floyd and I are going on a vacation instead"

 

you do realize too that floydie almost got nailed in round 2 by an aging past prime fighter who couldn't pull the trigger anymore and gassed in the process? :nut

i doubt you did.
