Hey dummy, why fight Marg for peanuts when Money was able to fight Oscar and hit the jackpot. If you consider Oscar winning only one, possibly two rounds then yeah, I guess he nearly beat Money.:roll:
LOL, the Kellerman excuses....... Still the same who Has a hard time with a jab even as slow as Margeritos Has way overrated power at 147, period, remember old Mosley ko'ed a far fresher and less rusty Margerito and pushed him around like a ragdoll, in contrast Pac was manhandled by the Mex and that is the reason he went on his bike, smart move but he ain't strong at 147. Fact Still a sucker for the straight right. Still does not like it to the body Still off balance and lunges in Still only headhunting Still no second gear, was frustrated by the Mex, like I hit you with my best shots a hundred times overf and you are not going down.........no alternative approach to get the punching bag clubfighter out of there, same as in the Clottey fight. Still fighting Arum/Roach handpicked opponents at catch weights while they have looked like **** in their previous fights Still being nutlicked by the HBO cheer squadron, 17 pounds this and 17 pounds that, ODH out weighted FMJ similar, Jones and Holy had massively less weight than Foreman or Ruiz, and this level it comes to skill and who you have in front of you and if last night Williams or Martinez would have been there instead of the Mex there would be a lot of bleeding hearts out there right now but rest assured Arum/Roach will never take those challenges..... Anyway, before last night I gave Manny a punchers chance against FMJ but now I am convinced it will be a absolute clinic by Mayweather and would not be surprised if he stops him late
Ya hes slowed down some but I think thats equaled (right now at least) by his much more completed package of abilities. Imo.
He outboxed him and shut him out 12 rounds to 0. What you call running we true fight fans call a marvelous display of the sweet science. I bet you've never stepped foot inside a boxing ring.
hes not as off balance as he used to be but i think he would be against mayweather. pac went to the body on numerous occasions, quite a lot actually!!! his combinations combined body AND head!!!
A lot of it has to do with the fight style. Pacquiao could have very well beaten Margarito with a UD without being touched by working only from the outside and pot shotting ala Mayweather. This would be all fine and dandy, but as you may have seen, Pacquiao places a great deal of concern for giving a crowd pleasing fight. I truly believe him when he says this is what matters to him. It is for this very reason that he is willing to tough it out and trade a bigger warrior such as Margarito. Notice he tried to do the same thing with Clottey, and even took some punishment from Clottey, but to no avail; Clottey was in a shell. Do you really believe that Paquiao couldn't have danced around Margarito all night?
i understand that you are a marg fan, but this fight should have been similar to calzaghe v lacey in the sense that calzaghe danced around him and never gave him time to set himself. pac should have done the same.
