here's the difference between you and i concerning this big fight. i look at it as a realist. in that, never, ever dispel your opponent as something he's perceived. the sport of boxing is probably one of the most unpredictable sports there is because all it takes is one punch (or a couple), and in this case, margarito is going to throw an average of 100 punches per round. two, styles make fights. the forementioned fighters like oscar, hatton and clottey were just stationary fighters who DIDN'T come forward. margarito on the other hand, is a pressure fighter, with a great chin, with a 6 inch. reach advantage and a 4 inch height advantage. he's going to come after pacquiao from round one. the question is this, how is pacquiao going to react to this? also, everyone talks about the speed advantage pacquiao has. well, that's true but can you ever name me a past margarito opponent who didn't have a speed advantage? this isn't nothing new for margarito. he's used to being the slow guy but with his toughness and grit, he mostly always seems to wear the other fighters down. and since pacquiao is so small, don't you think margarito has a chance to wear him down?
look, the main difference between you and me on this fight is i'm looking at it like a true boxing fan but you're looking at it like a true nuthugger. i do not always believe what i read like fans like you.
peace!
