Pac-Marg TALE OF THE TAPE

[Spicoli]

I think this is a 50-50 fight at this stage.Tony jabbed the hell out of Cotto in the 1st round but in attempting to back Manny his pressure will see him taking alot of leather off lateral and hand speed where Cotto backs straight and 'sits' along ropes. Pacquioa will have to fight one of the more boxer disciplined fights he's had in last 4 or 5 as Margarito's when getting effected he wont back and his uppercut can be huge on Manny.

This version of Margarito is a shadow of the fighter who fought Miguel Cotto. Margarito's size is the only reason this fight might be competitive.

I think alot of the past it talk is a bit outta whack. People cutting conclusions pre and post glove gate,he cant do what he did...not to mention the shellacking Mosley put on him and how ANY fighter comes back from 1st ko loss. Manny has natural gifts,speed,tenacity,momentum and drive that many dream of and I lean towards him to put on a disciplined power-box display for win. But sometimes size and volume get it done,who knows. He's not faced a frontal,offensive minded and long natural sized guy like this...Cotto off two wars was the only "live" guy he's faced and after all Pac is the one coming up. Say one thing....1st to be backed in straight line gets ktfo.

"I want to prove that I'm better than him. The truth is I have the hunger to be a champion again and I have more dreams that I need to fullfill. I never stopped training. I had faith that this opportunity would come again. Pacquiao already has a record of Beating a Lot of Mexicans, and now it's my turn to Stop him. I know I can Beat him," said Margarito.
