Are you excited about a Margarito fight? I had doubts Mayweather/Pac was gonna happen. Mayweather has played this game for years so it didn't surprise me that it fell through. Oh well. Personally, Margarito/Pacquaio is going to be a straight up war! Maybe Pacquaio will fight a completely disciplined fight as he did vs DLH or maybe he will exchange as he did with Cotto, regardless, this is gonna be a good one. :good
I'm not very excited, but I will tune in knowing that both fighters bring it and that since Pac will be tiny next to Margo, it could be very entertaining. If Margo comes in with that "I'm gonna throw over 1000 punches" mentality, it could be very interesting to see how Pac reacts. Definately, I don't think Margo is a deserving challenger. I would have rather seen a Cotto rematch but it seems I'm the only one.
Pac fans are excited to see him sing karaoke duets with 14 year old girls... I think a fight with margarito peaks their interest..... but bring up mayweather and they got a million excuses for the fight not to happen.
it might be entertaining... or it could be a compelte shutout like the Pac - De La Hoya fight. Who knows.
I don't think either fighter should be fighting for a title @154, and I would have rather seen Pac vs. Berto, or Pac vs. Bradley. That being said, I believe both fighters will bring it, and it will be an entertaining bout. I'll definitely be watching.
Another question. Assuming Margarito is still Margarito. Can Pacquaio withstand the body assault given to Cotto? Regardless of what you feel about the loaded glove episode. Key word is ASSUMING. Will Pacquaio fold under Margarito's 200 punches to the body attack? We know Mosley did but Mosley kept his head, said first time he felt a Margo body punch he told himself he would not let that happen again.
No. I want to see Mayweather-Pacquiao. Pacquiao fighting Margarito, and Mayweather fighting Cotto (or going on vacation or whatever) is a disappointment.
I agree with everything you said here ceebz. Not much for me to say but I love watching Pacquiao fight and am a fan of him.
Pacquiao won't fight the same dip**** fight that Cotto did back in 2008. Pacquiao's gonna get in and out, and turn Margarito all night. Margarito can make it a fight if he can land one of his uppercuts on Pac, but, I don't see it happening. TBQH, I think Pac is stupid in asking for the catchweight. The heavier Margarito comes in, the better for Pac, IMO.
Pac won't let that happen from the beginning. And Pac can take a couple of shots to the midsection like he showed against Cotto who is a sick bodypuncher.
The best thing about Pac is that he took his losses early. He didn't turn into a cherry picking primadonna over his win/loss record.
Everyone is weak to the body if they're hit often enough. The body shots Margarito administers is viscious and continual.
