    A lot of you guys think all the worries in Team Pac's corner is all hype to sell the fight, I think it more so getting the excuses ready, because this is the first time he's fighting a catchweight where the other fighter can make the weight comfortable.


    Manny either has to trade size for speed or speed for size, it's simple science so the **** do ya think he can come in stronger, and faster than Margo?


    anyway here comes the new Roach quotes


    "I hate catchweight fights"

    " In looking at Margarito, he looks like he's very strong, and in essence, you're letting a big welterweight not have to the responsibility of cutting the last few precious pounds off his big frame"


    " We should fight at 147 lets face it"
     
  2. FACTS

    - Margarito's much bigger
    - Margarito's a relentless puncher
    - Margarito's got a high work rate
    - Margarito's got a granite chin
    - Margarito's ****ing ripped and ready

    Sounds like legitimate concerns to me.

    :patsch

    More facts:

    Margo is slower than molasses
    Margo has poor defense
    Margo has looked shot in both fights after they found the plaster pads

    Looked shot in his last fight? Maybe looked not like himself but that is becuase he had a year plus away from the sport, and was instructed to box, which is not what Margarito brings to the table, and even then while boxing he dominated each and every single round... and likely continued boxing to get rounds in, IMO he could have easily reverted back to his old form and stopped his last opponent, it was clear in round 1 he had the power to do that.

    You guys are doing anything to make this seem like the biggest win of Pacquaio's life.

    in addition all thats been said about him was said in other fights of which he won, he was slower had no defense but somehow that didnt matter when he fought Cotto.
    we will see the fight isnt that far away we know Manny is more skilled in terms of boxing ability, but his defense isnt top notch neither and he is not strong enough to physically push Margarito back the way Mosley did.
    and out of his recent four bouts only one was knocked the **** out, while DLH and Cotto were stopped Oscar and we all know the truth about him, he showed up for a paycheck and Miguel Cotto well lets just say this Cotto could easily be damaged goods.
    so that leaves Clottey who didnt do **** but when he did fight he landed some good shots on Pacquiao....
    with that said lets see what happens come the night of the fight, more and more it sounds like people are pointing to Margaritos flaws either dismissing his abilitys all together or trying to convince themselves that Tony has no chance....
    the fight is comming, but I still got that feeling Roach and Manny might pull out of it....

    The only other time PAC fought at a catch weight was with Cotto. And Miguel had no problems making 145. So Tony making 150 comfortable isn't anything new to Roach, the only differnence is the opponent and the size. Tony holds MORE advantages in terms of physical advantages which poses a problem that Roach is aware of. More concern is about PAC's focus this training camp moreso than worrying about Tony being "comfortable" at the catch weight.

    Just further proves the point that "Master" Freddie, is into the 'drain' game. If Margo comes in strong and more fit than he's ever been, it serves Freddie right. They SHOULD NOT be fighting for a vacant title, in a C/W division, at a C/W. But, chasing that paper (title) is, obviously, the #1 priority here. Not to mention....the money ain't bad at all...

    :deal most people didn't even watch his last fight. He could have easily finished that fight early, but wisely got in much needed rounds.

    He hated it, Margo should have came down all the way to 147.

    That's why we love Manny. He loves to fight, not unlike the guy who's on vacation. Manny is a brave warrior. So, shut the your ass off. :patsch

    Oh, I know what you will say after Manny beat Margarito. He's Mosely's leftover. :blurp
