Pac would weigh more if he thought this would be Clottey redux

    :deal

    its amazing how this weight thing is getting everyone into a tizzy. if they thought margo was going to be a statue in the ring they would have weighed in like they did against clottey. they have one of the best nutrionists in the game. it was a conscious decision to come in where he did. margo is not clottey.

    that is not a prediction of who will win. margo is a tough sob. but come on guys. if pac and his camp wanted to weigh more they would have.

    just let them fight

    They should have weighed more to pick up the Light Middleweight Title.

    i think we can agree that part is a joke. a marketing ploy on arum's part to set up the next fight whomever wins. a unification against in house cotto is a huge money maker no matter who wins.

    the trinket is just that. a trinket.

    i'm just talking about the weight. but you are right my friend.

    It's clear they have gone for speed and movement. But even the Pacquiao that beat Clottey would have been too fast for Margarito.

    true. but i'm sure pac's camp saw what everyone else did and that is that pac did get touched when clottey decided to actually remind us that he was aware he was in a fight.

    but i agree. i'm just saying. even his camp said they were going lighter intentionally. its more of a sign of respect for margo than an inability to get heavier.

    Ariza originally wanted him to bulk up for this fight...and Pacquiao said no....

    yeah i saw that. bottom line is pac was where he was on the scales b/c he wanted to be. not b/c he couldnt get any higher.

    Clottey is more accurate than Margarito in my opinion. As long as Pacquiao keeps out of range, and off the ropes...he will cruise to a UD or late TKO.

    my thoughts exactly, Ant. i'm leaning more towards the tko. and i also think that the ref will have to save margo from himself in the later rounds. it won't be a clean ko. margo will keep coming if someone doesn step in and save him from himself.
