    I believe that it is most certainly creative editing to make Pac look worse than he actually is. Strike fear and doubt into the hearts of the Pac devoted... Ensure that they tune in to watch the fight. I believe that they see this as the best way to sell this fight; they are looking for new angles.

    However, even if Pac is having his BEST camp, I think that Margarito poses a great threat.

    I don't know how good Margarito is, not at all. Maybe Margarito cheated during every great win he has ever had. Maybe his loss to Mosley has ruined him. Maybe Margarito only got credible through a mix a luck and cheating...

    Or...

    Maybe the whole scandal was blown out of proportion. Maybe Mosley only won because Margarito was concerned by what happened just before the match... Maybe Margarito is an all time great who has had a bout of shitty luck.

    All we know for sure is that Margarito has quite the chin and that he is very large. These are all big advantages. Can Pacquiao overcome them? I believe he can. Maybe Pacquiao will destroy Margarito; I simply don't know...

    I dont buy into what they show on 24/7 to me that is bait and if your stupid enough to take the bait then it will cost you.

    Not saying any of this has any bearing on the fight, but no I don't think HBO is trying to make Pac look bad, 24/7 gets nothing extra regardless of PPV buys. Pac fans tune in to see Pac dominate, because there is significant portion of said fans who aren't "boxing" fans and when this is all over will not watch boxing anymore. AM fans will tune in regardless because of their national affiliations and support of Mexican fighters. I don't see it making a huge difference one way or another, but how many people have to tell you Pac is having a bad camp for you to believe it? What more would you have to see in terms of interuptions, suspect in ring work, and/or other distractions before you see that Pac isn't giving the fight his full attention? I'm not saying he won't still win, I'm simply saying that I don't think everyone who has seen sparring, involved with the camp etc are less credible than those who have seen nothing first hand, have spoken with nobody involved with camp, and have little information to support their position other than what they "think". At some point you have to concede to those who are involved and who see what's going on, and I've heard no one say anything other than Pac is having a sh!tty camp. Kahn has said he's been roughing Pac up, you saw that supported by some video evidence, you have Roach saying he's taken on too much you've seen this supported by video evidence, there is nothing to suggest otherwise, so in short, Believe it. Again doesn't mean he won't still win, but he's obviously having a shitty camp.

    Definitely!, no question about it, that part with Ariza and Roach were Ariza is asking him questions was so elaborate it was untrue, that and the fact every clip makes Tony look a beast, Pac getting hammered, leaves me in no doubt.

    That's exactly what Margo's going to do all night. Once he catches him with one good shot, the whole fight changes.

    Paq fought with impunity against Clottey and Hoya because they didn't(Clottey) or couldn't(IV pre-fight Hoya) fight back.

    That's not going to happen with Margo if the same Margo that fought Cotto shows up.

    The 24/7 **** is pretty much worthless. They're both in great shape.

    Well, by the standards of those who said that Cotto, Barrera and Morales were past their prime or shot at ages 28-29, Pac must be shot by now as he is nearly 32 and considering the "wars" he had been into.
