    actually, the *****s are quite divided on this one. some are pulling for margo so that floyd would not fight pac anymore since they knew that floyd has no guarantee of fighting pac even next year and some are saying margo is **** so as not to give pac any credit after he wins.

    Okay I bet state what I bet now rather than later if Margo wins, lest I be accused of being a Retrospective Better. :D

    A measly $25 which will win me $125 from the gambling agency(I get back $150 in total, inc my own $25), if Margo causes the upset.

    Not enough to retire on, but small fish are sweet. :rasta

    it's not a coin flip but it not a "no chance" scenario either. pac is acknowledged an overwhelming favorite on this one and i always say that this fight is an actual lose-lose scenario for pac, set aside the money he will get.

    It would be priceless to see Margo win just to see all the excuses the *******s would make...

    It is lose/lose. If you're being objective you have to acknowledge that Pacquiao is giving a person even he cites as a cheater a record payday.

    I give Margo a better shot than i would give the likes of Berto,Bradley or Alexander those guys would get decimated.

    He'll take a more impressive beating than they would, that's for sure.

    If you're even slightly hinting that Margo has the edge, become an economic genius and go lay down your life savings on margo and quadruple it.

    so what should he do? it's not like margo was his first option. he even gave floyd a chance to make up his mind even before signing to fight margarito. after floyd, who do you think must he fight that would give him a better payday?

    true. margo would most probably beat all of these guys especially above 147.

    There are an infinite number of boxers who are more deserving of the exposure and the money being given to Margarito.

    Just because Margarito is a big windmill puncher, it'll be exciting for pacquaio fans to watch him spin him around and punch the **** out of him for 12 rounds while they go "Yeah!! He beat up a giant guy who beat up Cotto!!"

    Here's the reality.

    Pac knows how to box and move, he's 10 times faster with his hands and feet and Margarito will only ever corner him when Pac lets it happen. He is just too fast. Margarito has no track record of outboxing anyone, just walking them down and punching endlessly. That **** works on a C-B level of boxing, but Pacquiao is better at that than Margarito is, and he's better at boxing.

    Watch the Garcia fight.

    Margarito is as slow as ever.

    Thats the problem with fans nowadays a fighter loses one fight and they say hes shot,hes ruined,he was exposed etc no wonder some of these fighters become cherrypickers and go to the lengths they go just to protect their undefeated record.
