i think if this fight goes the distance, pacquiao will win so i think margarito's only chance is to win by KO which i think is very doable. against clottey, pacquiao was marked up pretty good even though clottey rarely punched. margarito is going to be throwing punches in bunches and will have his moments.

if pacquiao can't take out margarito early (seriously doubt it), he'll be in serious trouble (like cotto) because margarito tends to be a slow starter and starts heating up by the 5th round.

not to mention that margarito has a great, young, trainer in roberto garcia, and i believe is going to shock pacquiao and the boxing world with his new and improved boxing skills.
Why? He did something that could, and has, ended the careers and lives of other fighters. A one year ban followed by an incestuous multi-million dollar fight is hardly punishment for something that could literally have led to the death or serious injury of another fighter. Furthermore, to make matters worse he has boldly and clearly lied throughout the entire process of inquiry. He's never admitted any wrong doing or apologized for his actions. Margarito is a stain and I hope he suffers brutal knock out after brutal knock out until his suspect career is finally over.

Boxing has enough black eyes and is enough of a marginal perceived joke of a sport without clowns like Margarito around.
