    The problem is Pacquiao won't get the same leverage against a guy who is 5'11, I think he would really have to work the body, and to do so he will have to get inside. Another thing is Manny might be throw 70-90 punches a round, but Marg usually throws 90-110 punches a round. WHen Manny fought Clottey he threw in the 1200's in terms of punches, Margarito threw over 1700.

    I honestly don't think Margarito has the speed to beat Manny who shouldn't buckle like Cotto did under the pressure, but this could be very dangerous if Margarito actually learns to cut off the ring and not just charge straight forward.

    Margarito is a very active fighter, and he cuts the ring off better than anyone would want to give him credit for. Problem with the Mosley fight is he was out-gunned all the way throughout the match. He doesn't know how to find room to breathe or tie up. I give him a ton of credit for his fighting style and he is a blood and guts warrior. He also stays in tremendous shape. I give Mosley full credit for beating him like he did. I don't think Pac will beat him in the same fashion. Simply for one reason.

    Margarito is 5'11" pac is barely 5'7"
    "Floyd needs to inject Xylocaine into his balls to gain the courage to fight Pacquiao."

    - and I quote from some random guy on the internet

    Marg wont be the 1st taller opponent Pac has beaten. Speed is the key, particularly against a slow come forward fighter. I can Manny darting in and out of range all night getting his shots off and not being hit back. Marg was a good fighter but it remains to be seen if he can still walk through shots like he used to cuz last time I saw him against a 38 year old he took a beating that bordered on rape.Tony showed that with concrete wraps he could eventually wear Cotto down but without em he got smoked by an old man. Pacs in his prime and if he begins to have any trouble with Margs style he can fall back on his superior footwork and outbox Marg. He wont try to outblast him right away but I think Marg will take so many clean shots that will be quite easy for Manny to do what he likes with him. Pac wont have the 1 shot power of Shane but he will wear Marg down like he did to Diaz. Just watch Tonys last fight, the indestructable fighter from yesteryear we remember was replaced when his handwraps were and he will never be the same again.

    Firstly, Margerito probably doesn't deserve a payday of this magnitude! Pacman should outbox him in and out all day long, but it's definitely a toughy, especially considering Margerito takes the term 'granite chin' to a whole new level!

    Shane Mosley already showed that if you hit it enough you can crack it and although Pacquiao doesn't hit as hard as Mosley he does throw more and has the stamina to do it all 12 rounds, IMO he stops Margarito around the 9th or 10th

    Margarito's very underrated uppercut will be the key punch coming in. I can see him catching Pacquiao jumping in and dropping him hard. This fight should end with Pacquiao's corner stopping it

    The FIRST person thinking this is a good fight and that Margacheato can win.
