    If you got speed like PAc... He would make you look like a punching bag.

    Dan Rafael is an espn goon... what more can you expect... I don't mind for mainstream, boxing journalism, as most of the time they are bias. That's why they get paid... right.

    Crappy, Margo is crap without loaded gloves...However, on the other side of this, Margo deserved another beating, and Pac was a pretty good guy to give it to him...Cintron and Cotto should get 'next'...

    manny wasnt at his best in that fight, you could see the effects of the bad camp , but he still gave a great performance. You have to consider he was completely dwarfed in size and reach. You aren't gonna escape from being hit by a guy with taht much size over you and who puts on as much pressure as Margo does.

    My friend watch round #5 and tell me that Pacquiao did't took a beating. never the less he was able to assimilate-which suprised me- all the punishment and pressure from Margarito. My point is, how Pacquiao was able to withstand so much punishment and keep his game plan without bending... like Cotto and Kermit did.

    NO difference he will beat up Cintron again, he probably still has nightmares from the 2 beatdowns.

    COtto can win if he boxes smart.. They both have slowed down this will be an intresting rematch. I think having Steward in his corner might make the difference in this fight.

    That question would be bettered answered, if Margo fights three other elite fighters and loses to them convincingly.

    That's my point... how Pacquiao assimilated Margarito's punishment and was able to land clean punches when Cotto and Kermit couldn't, and they where bigger opponents. I think that what Pacquiao did was nothing short of a champion and that Mosley and Mayweather jr. will have a hard time keeping Pacquiao at bay.... this clearly assuming that Margarito did not use plaster of Paris when he fought Kermit and Cotto

    Maybe...If only for the psychological advantages....But, Margo hasn't looked good since his clubs got taken away...

    I think Cotto has a lot of talent, However it can't be denied that he is not the same fighter that he was before Pacquiao and specially Margarito.

    P.D. I was born in Isabela, P.R. and I am a big Cotto fan, all of my family are , but I don't think he has the cardiovascular endurance to last 12 rounds with Margarito-plaster or not.

    Margarito may have not won round #5 and #6 but he landed solid shoots... Pacquiao's ability to walk over Margo's punches shows great determination and ultimately an insight of how he will fare against Mosley and Mayweather jr. when under pressure.

    Margarito is 20 times slower than Mayweather or Mosley. And he only comes forward. No lateral movement, no feints, no elusiveness. Clottey is defensive, but not elusive. Pacquiao vs. Mosley will answer some questions on how he deals with someone close to his speed that moves.

    Although Mayweather did feint ALOT against Mosely, Floyd was a tad faster and beat Mosley to the punch. Pacquiao doesn't really feint as much he throws from goofy angles, that might offset Mosely as well.
