Anyone else think Pac may have bitten off more than he can chew?

    I know we've all been through this before. Delahoya, Cotto, Clottey, a couple others, but has anyone seen what kind of shape Margarito is in for this fight? He's ripped out and looks like a man who can't wait to get in the ring and destroy. I'm not saying Margarito will beat Pac, but it appears that Pac may have his work cut out for him, and it won't be as easy as he and roach think.

    You actually need to have the skills required to win. This isn't no male modeling show!

    No. Margarito is crap and Pac will have an easy time. This is a mismatch.

    If its the same Marg from the garcia fight, he's gonna get completely outclassed. If he comes out looking like the Margo of old and Pac doesn't show up at his best, then it could be a tough night. I'm just curious if Pac can even hurt Marg at that weight. It's gonna be interesting to see.

    If Pac is 100%, no. Not even close.

    Its the story being sold. Tony looks in good condition but I still feel Pac has enough to beat him. They all get found out oneday. The smart ones know when to stop. or get a lucky decision like lewis did and then realise its better to quit while ahead.

    Im really curious how Pac handles margo in the late stages, I dont think he will knock out Margo but I can see him winning by a country mile on points and it will be interesting to see how Pac handles them uppercuts when he is coming at Margo.

    I don't care what anyone says.. i KNOW that this is a tough fight for Pac. Margarito has one of the best chins in boxing... everyone saw the amount of flush, power shots he took from Mosley... i have never seen such a good chin in my life. Add on the fact that he is huge and throws hundreds of punches and Pac Man is in for a fight.

    All i am saying is that if Pac isn't between 90-100% condition than i can see him losing.

    One thing i don't buy is all this crap about Margarito is in the best condition of his life. He is always in good condition and has always trained like a mad man. Do you really think he is training any harder for this fight than when he was going to face Cotto? No way

    Possibly. Margarito brings pressure, size, strength, work-rate and an unbelievable chin. But I am fed up of doubting Pacquiao. His handspeed combined with his own workrate and foot movement should bring him through. The only way I can see him losing is if he fights stupidly and stands right in front of Margarito or lies on the ropes. Pacquiao is there to be hit - if he stands stationary it will be bad news for him. Whatever happens Margarito will be throwing a lot of punches and trying to bully his way into the fight and so Pacquiao has to stop him getting set by spinning him and moving laterally constantly. Margarito's skill level isn't exactly top notch either - it's his ridiculous physical tools that have got him where he is. Pacquiao could definitely outbox the guy if he uses his feet well.

    The thing I am interested to see is if Pacquiao's power will hurt Margarito. And what happens if it doesn't? Has the Shane Mosley beating taken anything out of his chin? We will see.

    Maybe not harder, but better and at a better suited weight for him at this stage. I don't think Pacquiao is going to hurt Margarito and he is in for a rough fight.

    Pac speed is gonna be the tool for him to win. I don't think he could knock Margarito out, but stranger things done happen. No matter his speed advantage Pac is gonna still be in for a fight. Marg is gonna apply pressure on him like no other, but in the end Pac will be the winner.
