Margarito straw man...

Total mismatch

 

I expect Pacquiao to win, but I wouldn't be shocked if Margarito were to win(especially as the fight isn't at 147) and with such a crazy discrepancy in betting odds, will probably place a small wager on Margarito.

 

Margarito has the advantage in what? Size and strength? Manny's walking this one against this titanium can.

 

even cotto was too fast for margo but we saw what happened in that fight. so what will you say if margo somehow pulled the upset?

 

Margarito has always been a good fighter even with his limited skills. People making him out to be a tomato can haven't really followed his career. He gave PW hell, beat Martinez, Clottey and Cotto. 1 big loss to Mosley doesn't make him a bum overnight.

 

:good I've been saying this since the fight was announced. *******s make Marg out to be a beast so it looks amazing when Pac inevitably beats him. *****s make it look as if he's never achieved anything in his life so it looks like Pac is beating on bums.

The truth of it is that Marg is a good fighter with a size advantage who was seriously exposed v Shane and is fighting a guy in Pac who has a huge stylistic advantage. It will be a decent win for Pacquiao but nothing more., however it's still better than him going on 'vacation'.

 

i have pac but to say that margo has no chance is to say that there is no chance of an upset in all of sports, boxing.

 

Williams was 32-0 when Margo fought him. You can say he was still improving, but he was still a very good fighter. Margo lost that fight but anyone who watched it knows he gave Williams hell even in defeat.

 

Ive never thought he was as limited as some people say he is. Hes defense isnt great but its usually there when he needs it. He actually has good enough boxing skills and handspeed when he uses it,he seems like an athletic fighter with a good variety of punches.well in his prime anyways

 

Agreed.

 

You got it wrong. The *******s are making Pac look BAD, so when he beats Margarito they can say he was bad in sparring and not at his best but still beat him. The intelligent people see throught it. There have been so many articles about how bad Pac has looked in training, and how he has not maintained speed and power with the moving up in weight - Bull****. Everyone knows Margarito is badly overmatched, and the only way to make this fight appear even remotely competitive is to make Pac look like he is not prepared physically. It is a joke.
