By now everybody in the world knows I'm going with Margo, even though Taylor got robbed in this fight you see how pressure eventually beats speed though it took Chavez 13 rounds to do it and a bad ref. I see Margos tough chin and pressure getting PAC in 10 TKO Margo I couldn't help but think that Chavez vs Meldrick Taylor have similarities to PAC vs Margarito. The faster puncher against the forward tough chin, high pressure Mexican, what do ya think?

Taylor was faster than Pac, but Pac is more skilled and intelligent than Taylor was. Also, Pac has better footwork and footspeed, and Pac also has better power and more experience. Chavez was 10 times better than Margarito.
You're right Chavez was way better, but I think size makes up for it a little in this fight. I have Taylor being a faster and a harder puncher at that weight class. Manny is more skilled and has better footwork. But Him and Taylor both don't know how to get the he'll away from a punch though
I wonder how many other fights other then sweet pea, and Taylor that Chavez lost before reaching 100 wins!!!
None. Look it up. People bash on Chavez so much on this site it's ridiculous. Sweet Pea was what it was but Taylor was beaten. Not only did he take the most damage, but a ko is a ko, and a fighter gets 12 full rounds to score one. As far as the 13th goes, there are a couple of similarities in the matchup but this is a completely different fight, and it will turn out differently too. Pac's going to be able to land punches like the one he ko'ed Hatton with and I'm not 100% sure Margo can take them.
The difference there is Margarito is no Chavez, and Pacman is better than Meldrick. The advantage Margarito has is in size, but it is not an even fight as far as speed and caliber of fighter.
Huge, huge skill difference between Chavez and Marg... I don't know what your blurry vision of Chavez is, because that comparison sucks. Also Pac is nothing like Taylor and a bit better too.
Margarito is not equal in skill to a Chavez....and taylor while maybe faster then Pac he was not as ring smart as Pac....and Pac's footwork is better then taylors to....he can get u off balance and catch you from all different angles which is was makes him such a good fighter.
If Margo can take Pacquiao's punches well, this will be a tough fight for Pacquiao, but if Margo does not take these punches well, Margarito will be dominated.
Ha I'm a fan of three guys u mentioned(Taylor, Chavez, Pacquiao) but for 1) Margarito is no Chavez and for 2)We really don't know how Margarito will look in the fight until it starts. Taylor was faster but Pac hits harder and is smarter with better defense. Both warriors but I'm sure Pacquiao will know when to get out of harms way and will dart in and out and not take the punishment Taylor did. I wouldn't rule Margarito out as he isn't the same guy Cotto fought but a motivated Margarito is still a dangerous opponent. Especially if he is comfortable at the weight then this should be a tough fight for pacman. He may not eat up Margarito but he should beat him using speed & different angles.
