    The NYSAC is already talking about a drug protocol change......if they make the change, the rest of the commisions are going to look bad if they dont follow.

    Mark my words Morrissey, and I'm not just talking about Pac......if this change is implemented, some fighters that we thought we thought great or would be great will all of a sudden fall by the wayside.....while others that we might think would just be contenders but never champions, will emerge upon the Championship scene.

    WHats wrong with that fight? Actually Marquez deserves the shot the most but if it does happen i hope its at 140 and not 147 At Welter Pac knocks him out, i thought Marquez won both fights but his chances are better at JW.

    As for Margo i laugh how some of you think this would be an easy fight for Pac:nono I can see Margo pulling off the Upset, Pac would have to fight an extremley Disciplined fight to win this, i mean he is capable of it but at some point i can see Pac going for the stoppage and getting himself in a wreck. Im sure Pac would be the favorite and with odds that steep i would definnitely put some Money on Margo. He so much bigger than Pac too think this is a gimme.

    I'll break the truth to you from how I see it.......

    As you know, I'm convinced that Pac's cheating.

    Margarito wins fights by non-stop puncing and wearing down opponents.
    Margarito does'nt avoid shots, he walks through them, but he counts on his opponent wearing down while he takes some shots but builds a workrate.

    Pacroid is'nt showing any signs that a bigger fighter can wear him down.
    Pac after both the Cotto and Clottey fights looked like he could have taken on another top contender right after on the same night.

    Pac is too fast, more skilled, and he doest'nt wear down.
    From what I've seen at Pac's welter fights, I'd pick him to bust Margarito up with fast accurate shots, while running a circle around him while Pac disects a charging Margarito.

    A late mercy stoppage like the Cotto fight or a very wide UD for the cheating Pacroid.

    That will be great for the sports if ever this stricter drug test be implemented, and if ever a couple of user, or many are found to be using it, then they should be suspended. :good

    I beg to disagree here, Divac.

    The Clottey fight showed how that Pacquaio is not really a legit welterweight, and had Akon just continued opening up and hit Pac with all those uppercuts, we would have seen a different result. Clottey obviously has the power to back and hurt Pac given those moments he opened up. The problem there though was he was also opened to Pac's flurries, and there was a bigger chance that he would have been buckled by Pac's combination that he could have hammered Pac, because of Pacquaio's speed advantage.

    For the Margarito fight, the guy, plaster or without plaster, has a great chin, and his offense is built to break down an opponent, like Pacquaio, though more slowly, but nevertheless, he could do it before Pac breaks him down. I think it is a question of how they can able to withstand each other's onslaught, and I am favoring the Tijuana Tornado because of his durability and willingness to pour on a hurting against the naturally smaller guy in Pac.

    Pac would'nt be as brave as to stand in front of Margarito.
    He'd use his legs more than ever, but still throw alot of shots darting in and out.

    The shots that you dont see coming are the one's that hurt you.
    With Pac's speed, I could see Margarito being cautious not to take to many straight lefts from Pacquiao.

    ......dont take it personal Morrissey, because its just how I see it, Pac's a PED user, and as long as the endurance is there from that PED use, Margarito is going to have a hard time wearing him down.

    Margarito took alot of shots from Cotto, but you could see Cotto wearing down before even the midpoint of the fight had reached.

    From what I've seen, Pac can go on and on......and if this is the case, the better skill fighter is going to win.

    the more Pac fights JMM,...the worse he looks.

    No offense made on that one to me, if you really think Pac's a PED user. It is how you see it. You have seen a lot of boxers in your lifetime, so you can probably distinguish a user from non-user.

    Hey, just of of curiosity Divac, who else do you think is using PEDs in this today's crop of fighters?

    As for PED user, if ever Pac is using it, it would not still matter against Margarito. Vargas - Dela Hoya comes to mind. So, I think Pac may chew much more than he ask for against AM.
