If Pac could clinch then sure he would have a great shot. But this would end up looking like the cotto fight imo.
ok if Margo's punch resistance has dropped then Pac would beat him, but the Margarito that fought Cotto would surely knock out Pac. I like Pac, I even think he beats Mosley, but I don't think he has the power to keep Margo honest. I think thats the main problem here. Margo comes forward all night and if you can't stop him in his tracks then WTF are you gonna do? You can't just stick and move all night when this guy is still jogging in the 11th round. You gotta give him something to think about.
Without plaster i could see pacquiao winning this fight. Now that margocheato has been caught cheating, his punching power is very questionable He does have a tough chin so i dont see him getting knockout by pacquiao but i think pac can beat him by decision.
It has more to do with speed and accuracy than it does "punching power". Cintron couldn't bother Margo, but Mosley was ****ing him up and hurting him with his shots....why? Because Margo wasn't seeing them coming and they were hitting him from odd angles.
Mosley hits alot harder than Cintron. Cintron's power is overrated i saw Feliciano take bomb after bomb Cintron is not even on the level to be part of this conversation
That is the exact reason I think Pac beats him, I think this would look something like Oscar vs Mayorga, Mayorga's punch resistance had dropped hugely after the Tito beating and in my opinion so will Margo's.
i think pac would whoop the **** out of margarito. he might not get a knockout, but jesus the speed difference would be unreal. i honestly don't think margo would be able to hit pac clean.
so now pac is whitaker, tyson, and meldrick taylor all in one........WOW !!!!!! margo would get knocked out as soon as they touch gloves right after the refs instructions....
after margo-mosley everyone was talking about speed killing margo. now many are saying that speed isn't everything. with margarito, speed really IS everything because if he can't get off, he's ****ed. not to mention pac's movement would frustrate the **** out of him. i honestly can't see margarito winning this fight based on size and punch resistance alone. plus his punch output in this fight would drop significantly and that's the main advantage he brings to a fight.
