The only 2 fighters in the last 10 years that beat Margarito had to implement clinching and both those fighters were quick on their feet. That's a glaring stat since Manny can't clinch.
True, Mosley was notorious for his hit and hug technique which was smart cause Marg could really land his opponents were to close.. I remember these boards being lite up with people complaining of Mosely hug technique.
if he's smart , boxes , moves around , use his feet and hand speed......i can see a decision win.
if he tries to go toe to toe , even only for brief moments , marg can do some damage.
hard to predict.
don't know how pac will fight and i don't know how much marg has left.
I'm not ruling out Pac by decision, I'm hedging my Margarito bet with it.
Margarito can force Pacquiao tp stand and trade by catching him with a counter body shot, after that he really has to dig down to the body. If he does what Segura did to Calderon (almost an 80-20 to the body), Margarito's chances increase exponentially despite what Pacquiao tries to do.
Pacquiao is the better boxer here though, but he's giving away a lot of advantages and Margarito will actually take advantage of his advantages, instead of giving them up like De La Hoya, Cotto, and Clottey.
No I had him winning but Garcia made him look like a chump buy walking through his shots and pressuring margarito against the ropes. It was kind of amusing watching that.
You're talking about a guy, in Garcia, who is naturally much bigger than Pacquiao.
2. margaritos defense is horrible !!!!! manny will be able to catch his ass all day long !!!!
3. cotto wouldve beat him if he wasnt such a idiot , clottey wouldve beat him if he didnt get hurt , and paul williams & shane beat him !!!!
4. he has a ****** shoulder tattoo !!
5. his mindless agression will be turned aginst him !!!! he can try to walk manny down as much as he wants but unlike that jackass cotto, manny will not gas out !!! his stamina is legendary
6. hes too effing slow !!! im not talking just about foot speed im talking about reaction time !!! and adgustments !!! and worst of all for him is he starts the fight off too slowly !!!!! it is almost guaranteed he will lose the first 5 or 6 rounds !!!
the only time the asian 2 pac aggression might be used against him is if he fights someone who will outbox him !!!! witch margareyto isnt smart enough to do !!!
Margarito is a good counterpuncher against lefties. What's even worse for Pacquiao is that he throws his counterpunches to the body.
Unlike Williams, Santos, and Martinez, Pacquiao has to punch upward while Margarito can punch downward with more leverage, so it'll be easier for him to catch Pac.

That fight isn't really anything to go by.
People can't seem to understand how much strength plays a factor into Margarito's game. Garcia was very strong, it helped him push Margarito back, take his punches, and withstand the pressure.
Pacquiao won't have that luxury, he'll have to use his punching and activity overtime, which will tire him out, if you include getting hit with body punches. Even someone with the stamina level of Williams had to hold consistently to get the job done (and I'll repeat that the Santos and Williams fights could have gone either way).
