Margarito-Pac - Is breeze blocks being underestimated?

[generalbulldog]

Well if you take a look at boxing history, there has never been a fighter after getting his ass whipped like that in the Mosley fight to come back and beat an elite fighter like Pac.

In fact I'm pretty sure I'm correct when I say that Margarito is a ruined fighter or close to being one. A beating in the Shane Mosley fight takes years off from a fighter.

Try Vic Darchinyan. But there's a psyche factor.

Unlike Marg. Vic never got involve in any scandal.

Darchinyan never got a beating throughout a fight. Getting outboxed and then 1 punch KO is different than getting a sustained heavy beating on your entire body.

In fact, I am correct that a fighter that gets massively beat down like Margarito, never recovers to beat an elite opponent.

I've noticed a lot of people writing this fight off as a "gimme" for Pac. This has surprised me a bit.

If you forgive breeze blocks one bad night against Mosley, when quite frankly he shouldn't have been allowed to enter the ring considering he was mentally destroyed literally minutes before the contest, then he is a big bad dangerous welterweight (151lber).

You should forgive anyone one bad outing. He's had a comeback to blow off the cobwebs and has absolutely NOTHING to lose. He will always be regarded as a dirty cheat, but as boxing is a disgusting business, where just about anything goes, he's been put in a GREAT position.

He has the ability/size to put Pac under the cosh, no? Is he really a 5/1 dog? I'm not so sure....Thoughts?

I completely agree. I think Pac should be favored because he is that much faster and more skilled, but no way is Margarito a 5-1 dog. No way. This is a tougher matchup than Clottey, Hatton, or Cotto. He will come in something like 20 pounds more than Pacquiao probably.

All you need to do is watch the first round of this fight(starts at 8 minutes) before you think Margarito has a shot. This was years ago when he was younger and hungrier and not as worn.

Same style, see how easily Lujan gets in and lands his shot even when he throws them super wide and not even as in a straight like as pacquiao does?




I don't know how anyone thinks Margarito has a chance against a harder hitting and faster fighter in Pacquiao. He gives up his height way too much for this to be competitive, if the blueprint to beat him was the Mosley fight, this fight shows how easily Pacquiao will get in and out on him.

Fenster, I've actually thought about this, thinking that Margo mentally must have been way out of it after all that shit going down before the Mosley fight. But, that being said, I can't come to any other conclusion, harsh as it may seem, that Margo has been loading for ages and has puff in his punches. You can't be blowing Sebastien Lujan's ear off one minute and then struggling to make much of a dent in his latest outing against Garcia after youv'e been caught trying to use loaded wraps the fight before.

Puff in his punches won't harm Pacquiao I wouldn't say, and Margo is probably in for some kind of De La Hoya type beating, I'd hazard a guess he'll be completely bewildered by the Pacman for as long as the fight lasts. Maybe 9 - 10 rounds.

It will get built up as Pacs toughest fight yet, yet we all know this will be more like the PBF vs Mosley fight.
