    Angelo Dundee says Antonio Margarito has the style to derail the Pacman Express. “The style of Margarito is the style that gives a southpaw trouble,” said Dundee. “He comes forward and the only way to fight a southpaw is to come forward. That is my interpretation¦Dundeeism. I trained a half dozen southpaws. I had a boxer named Andy Durell fight the greatest boxer of all time, Willie Pep, and he took it as a warm-up in Miami Beach. The southpaw gave him all the trouble he wanted, busted him up and everything and it was supposed to be an easy fight.”

    He continued, “Margarito has the style to give him ulcers. Margarito will be the biggest guy he has fought and he will fight aggressively and throw punches from every angle. It is going to be a great fight and I am glad it was made, I mean how long can you crucify a guy? It was wrong that Las Vegas turned the fight down.

    “I like the area that the fight is going to be in and the crowd is going to be with Margarito. It is a tough fight and it wouldn´t amaze me to see Margarito come away with a win.

    “I worked a couple of underdog fighters Ali and Liston, Willie Pastrano and Harold Johnson, Rodriguez and Griffin. Odds don´t mean nothing, it is the individuals that are fighting each other that mean everything.”

    Angelo Dundee is only a name you know because Ali made him.

    Let us not disregard the fact that Dundee also picked De La Hoya, Hatton and Cotto to beat Pacquiao for exactly the same reasons.

    You´re right - like Pac made Roach and Tyson made D´amato.

    Since you seem to know boxing better than Dundee - what´s the best way to fight a southpaw?

    I do hope that Angelo´s predictions will work just as well in this fight as well

    By making sure he isn't the #1 p4p fighter in the world.

    Angelo Dundee has made a lot of bad predictions over the years.

    Post a link.

    That's right, you don't have one. I have never heard Pacheco or Dundee give a prediction on a Paq fight. ever.

    He's got a worse track record than Teddy the gunner Atlas. Put it all on Pacquiao lol.

    The best way to fight a southpaw is making sure he isn´t the number 1 P4P fighter?

    And the logic behind this is?

    Not losing embarrassingly to a guy who is way faster and way more talented?

    D'amato was already a name before Tyson. He had Floyd Patterson, Jose toreros.

    Does Sugar Ray Leonard count?, what about ALL the others he trained?
