Someone who can throw more punches than Manny, if he is ready.

I think maybe this will be Manny's first tough fight at the higher weights and though Margarito doesn't deserve the payday, it will be a very interesting fight.
Gotta agree with you.... Take away the single Mosley loss, and the scandal, and most people would consider this as tough a fight from Manny as a fight with Mayweather would be...

Manny is incredibly skilled, fast, accurate, with incredible defense, and could make Margarito look slow and incredibly easy to hit... But this is no over the hill Oscar DLH... Margarito is an animal in there and if he's got the same heart in there that we saw of him before his downfall, Manny will take a HUGE amount of credit from gritting out a win against a very serious and dangerous fighter...

It's only Manny's supernatural talent that stretches odds out and leans most people towards a relatively easy victory for him... Certainly has nothing to do with a real lack on Margarito's part..
