Mannys at his peak, said Fernandez who grew up with Pacquiao in General Santos City. Hes not showing any signs of slowing down. I dont think hes retiring soon. The way I see it, Manny will keep on fighting even when he becomes a senator.

Fernandez said Pacquiao, a southpaw, has already figured out with chief trainer Freddie Roach how to break down the right-handed Tijuana Tornado.

Margarito likes to throw the left jab then an uppercut to the body and finally, a straight thats his usual combination, said Fernandez. Manny will fight him like Oscar de la Hoya and a bit like how he fought Miguel Cotto and Hatton. His main weapon will be the left hand. When Margarito throws the jab, Manny will slide to his right and counter with a left to the body or to the head. Margarito has a tendency to bring down his hands after throwing a jab. Hell be wide open for Mannys left just like Hatton was.

Fernandez said Margaritos 4 1/2-inch height advantage wont make a difference.

Manny finds it easier to hit a taller opponent like a De la Hoya, said Fernandez. He finds it harder to connect on a fighter whos either his size or a little shorter. Juan Manuel Marquez knew that. You remember when he fought Manny, he bent his head down so he would be as tall as Manny and harder to hit. Manny has a little difficulty with quick counter-punchers.

Theres a limit to his body growth, said Fernandez. I think hell stop at superwelterweight (154 pounds). But after Margarito, there are many more competitive fights out there for Manny. Andre Berto, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Paul Williams are tough opponents. Of course, theres Floyd Mayweather, too. Manny will beat them all. This is his time.

the difference between dela hoya and margarito, the tijuana tornado aint gonna quit.

we all know who has the best chance of beating pacquiao, and that's floyd. we also knows who has the best chance in beating floyd, and that's pacquiao, so make that ****ing fight and stop this ****.

margarito is strong, but is too slow.

Of course Pacquiao beats the stuffing out of Rockgloves. This is one of the easiest fights to predict in boxing history. You have a quickmoving, fast-handed, sharp punching guy against a walking punching bag who lacks punching power.
