    Whenever I watch TV, I usually have a six pack with me. I love eating pizza while I drink beer. But that doesn't change the fact that my favorite junk food is hamburger. :yep

    Have a nice day, mate. :good

    if fight night marg weighs 160 to 165lbs...
    PAC will be max of 150lbs...

    Marg kills PAC!
    10 TO 15lbs pounds difference?!?

    This fight is a joke! This would not happen...

    I totally agree! THERE SHOULD BE A LIMIT SOMEWHERE..

    As much as I want PAC to win, it would not happen. Too much weigh difference would be
    totally mismatch fight!

    If they have a same day weigh-in, Pac has chance. Heck, Pac might even win considering that Margo will not dwarf Pac in a same day weigh-in.

    Just think of it this way. 2 years ago, it is considered nuthugging to even suggest that Pac has a chance in hell to beat Corrales. It was lunacy to think he has a chance against Hatton.

    Well, how things have developed, Pac is now favored over Hatton and is touted to be give PBF a good challenge..

    Roach correctly understood that De La Hoya was going to be a soft target below his natural weight. But these extending claims of Pacquiao's invincibility against big guys, powerfully dangerous big guys, make you have to question his grip on the facts of reality.

    yes, styles make fights, BUT :-( it is not the style that will make pac in trouble, it will be the HUGE size advantage AM holds. :bart

    1) Margo isnt exactly the best boxer in the world either, both guys have better boxing skills than him, both are fast and both can fight a disciplined fight. PBF being more of a pure boxer is irrelevant.

    2) He didnt go toe to toe with Oscar or Diaz, he hit and move. He will use his foot speed to get in and out of Margos range.

    3) Not by much, both weigh around the same fight night. I think PBF is still bigger but IMO both can take punishment in equal measure so it wont really be that big of a deal.

    4) FMJ being FMJ doesnt guarantee him a win, but he can win. Same with Pac, all he has to do is be Pac...he can box so its not like hes trying something completely new.

    Pac can very well get cornered but IMO, Pac has the best footspeed in the game right now and Margo is hella slow. I would put my money down on Cotto all the way on a rematch, Cotto would have outbox him easy if he didnt sit on the ropes and believed the hype that he was the one to ruin all fighters. Cotto isnt exactly bouncy on his feet either.
