    That's Manny's real name but still he doesn't go by that. BTW the first time you said emmanuel where you referring to augustus? Damn you and the word "moar" lol.

    I also got the impression that many in here thought that Pacman would walk over Marg when the fight was announced. But i think it was just some hard core Pacman haters or PBF fans who kept posting and made it seem like a majority of people thought this way.

    Check out this poll i made.

    Also, Bodog went from -575 about 2 weeks ago to -450 for Pacman.

    the brits always put way too much money on their guy, if haye ever finds his balls and you want to bet on klitschko, wait until a few hours before the fight. great odds. afterwards we will have drunken English men rioting crying over lost mortgages and turning even paler then now

    if they dont they receive a vicious beating and are sent to get beer and chips and then go to their mothers house. if do pay the guy ****s the money up anyway on the wrong boxer, get drunk and gives her a beating just to take it out on someone.

    This time it isn't just hype. Margo is looking like a monster you can not take that alway. Nobody was able to hype Marquez chances against Floyd for example (they tried hard).

    Pacquiao is going to win every single round until he closes the show. I've said this from the time it was announced. This fight is not competitive based on Pacquiao holding every single advantage aside from height. Interestingly, Roach made the exact same observation the other day on "On The Ropes".

    I think the people here calling this fight for Pacquiao by casual KO/UD and slating those who predict otherwise are more deluded than most of those hedging their bets on Margarito!

    Boxing is a sport where upsets are very real possibilities, this is proven through history.

    Margarito has decent credentials, he's far larger and you can see through the available media he seems in fantastic condition for this fight.

    Some people are just waving this fight off like its already happened, although they may be right, that doesnt mean others who believe Margarito can or will win know nothing.

    Boxing forums are full of people with different opinions, but no-one can rightly say they know how this fight will pan out. Pacquiao has never fought at light middle and he's never fought Margarito.

    Hell, Teddy Atlas has gone for Margarito in this fight, he's a well known boxing pundit! Sure, his predictions can be way off sometimes, but he still gets paid to share his thoughts, and i doubt he'd want to make himself look a ridiculous fool with what would be described on this forum as an "outlandish" prediction.

    Its clear to me some people just have trouble dealing with this fight as a concept bearing in mind Margarito's recent history or perhaps because of a dislike for Pacquiao and unwillingness to accept he might be testing himself here.

    I would not write Margarito off in any way!

    No one but the most casual fans gave Marqeuz a chance to beat Floyd. Mosley could have been more comeptitive if he wasn't so old and over the hill. He would of knocked Floyd's overrated ass out if he was a few years younger.
