    Most of you know me here as a Pac hater, but for tonight I give Manny his props. He trashed Margarito like no fighter has ever done despite the size disadvantage. After tonight, I dont know who to favor in a fight between Pac and PBF. Props to you Manny. :thumbsup

    I'll give Pacquiao a bit credit. I say "abit" cause i knew from day one that Pacquiao will easily beat Margarito. Margarito before facing Pacquiao won a fight in which he didn't look real good at all. I think the beating Margarito got from Mosley shows Margarito is no longer the same fighter he once was.

    trash like never before? maybe you missed what mosley-margarito.

    anyway, this was a nice win for pac because he beat a jr. mw who was a good opponent. but you have to keep this in context. margo is not a elite fighter. the difference talent was apparent even before the fight signed.

    the fight that the is really releveant is a pac-mayweather fight. hopefully mayweather has finally grown a pair, and this fight happens.
    and there was very little in the margarito fight that tells how a pac-mayweather fight would turn out.

    I did see Mosley-Marg before. This one just felt different. Maybe it was because of Marg's face, whereas in the Mosley fight he wasnt bleeding that much. Here, it looked as if he was massacred. Could say the same thing about the Mosley fight.

    Margarito didn't have 17lb over Mosely, makes this more impressive

    Marg could have had 30lbs, it doesn't matter when your slow as a snail. Weight advantage alone does not make up for a complete lack of class, and skill, and Margarito has always been a no skilled bum with a good chin.

    You're confusing Margo with Baldomir.

    Margo against Mosley is different. Look at what Margos former trainer, Capetillo, has to say:

    "[Margarito's] weight was a problem for that entire camp. He put on a lot of weight, not just water pounds but muscle, after he beat Cotto. He had to chop 20 pounds before he left Mexico to begin his camp for Mosley, and then he dropped another 30 in camp. He kept dropping weight and dropping weight until he had nothing," said Capetillo, adding that Margarito also had back problems that caused him to miss crucial training days.

    "Then he would gain back whatever weight he lost the previous week. He was 16 pounds over [the welterweight limit] one week before the fight, and the closer we got to the weight, the sicker he got from dehydration," said Capetillo. "Four or five days out from the fight it was like he had the flu. He was shrinking before our eyes."

    That bum with a good chin has wins over Cotto, Clotty and Martinez and pushed Williams close

    Neither one of them was all that good, skill wise, but they had hard heads.

    Williams spanked him, Mosley dominated and then KOed him, Martinez was green at the time, just like Pacquiao wasn't always as formidable as he is now. Clottey isn't elite, Cotto was a good win but Cotto has serious flaws too. Oh yeah, and we don't know if he legal during all of those fights either. We know he wasn't loaded tonight.

    well, yeah, you're right, pac did more damage to margo face, clearly. but that has to do with the fact that pac threw and landed more blows. pac vs. margo was fought at a faster pace and nobody is a better volume puncher then pac. and mosley is a bigger puncher then pac so he didnt need to land as much as pac to knock margo out(although he did land frequently).

    you absolutely right, pac looked great, especially his footwork. that may have been most impressive about what he did, last night

    Pacroid beat a bum, period. We already saw grand daddy Mosely destroy that cheating bum.

    Also, Cheato was severly weight drained bum at that. He won another fake title in a phony catch weight title.
