But he didn't land close to the amount of punches, and it's not because his gloves weren't loaded.
the only shot Margarito ever landed that seemed to hurt Pacquiao was an illegal blow to the kidneys while Pacquiao was on the ropes, he landed more than a share up top and hell Clottey even managed to mark up Manny up more than Margarito did
Re: Congrats to Manny Pacquiao on his great victory!
Exactly, he did not land enough punches to the body to break an opponent down the same way, not even close.
I have to be honest here though, I do not think Pacquiao could have taken the amount of punishment Cotto did, he did not even take half.

Margarito landed more shots on Pacquiao than Clottey did, and yet Clottey did more damage, it's a known FACT that Clottey has borderline NO power

I fail to see how this is a great victory....
RE... wait for it...
......TARTED
Re: Congrats to Manny Pacquiao on his great victory!
Retarted?
something that was tarted got tarted again. Sorry I don't understand.
Calling someone retarted comes across as being a bit retarded if you ask me......
Still whenever someone starts the name calling it tell's me one thing. I've got a point and the truth hurts.
:lol:

This was not quite as impressive as the Cotto fight, but this is clearly because Margarito is a tougher nut to crack. Margarito fought quite well early on, but that fourth dazzled him and then the eye was gone. An uphill battle after that, but he still had his moments.
I give props to both fighters for this fight. And to some degree I do think Margarito has earned some of his redemption. He took his licks like a man and showed that even without any so called wraps that he could still hurt the best fighter in the world.
Maybe 'cause he's almost twice as big as the best fighter in the world?
