Is it me or is Pacs performance Saturday a little overrated??

[0james0]

Bloody phone!

I want to see PAC go up through more weights now as I think there is a better chance of that actually happening.

[JonesJrMayweather]

His performance last saturday was expected indeed. He didn't really shocked the world. But it's was like watching a good movie sequel. You kinda know what's gonna happen but you still get amazed after watching it.

Agreed.

its comparable to Toy Story III. as good as I and II

...Or all Terminator movies.

Rise of the Machines Sucked balls....

I agree with you he didn't do any better with margarito than Mosley or Williams he didn't do any better with Cotto than Margarito yet gets crazy praise for it. Thing is everybody expected Cotto to beat Margarito and Margarito demolished and because of this everybody expected Margarito to demolish Mosley yet Mosley demolished him in 9 rounds. Now everybody expected Pacquiao to beat margarito easy and he did but now there talking as though he has slayed King Kong and facts are he didn't even do it as easy as Mosley or Williams Pacquiao was even badly hurt in the 6th had their been more time left in the round who knows and after that he went on back foot for about 2 rounds yes he is P4P#1 but come on guys lets stop making the wins bigger than they were after the event.

Obviously this fool didn't see that fight.

I give Pac all the credit in the world, he did what he was expected to do and then some. Margarito had his chances banging Pac on the ropes to the body, and Pac even though hurt, didn't wilt or back down he fought his way off the ropes.

He did everything possible that he could against the opponent his team picked out for him.

It's You!

Regardless of what was expected of the two meeting in the ring, what Pacquiao did against Margarito was nothing short of amazing.

If this meeting happened before Pacquiao vs Dela Hoya. Anyone saying Pacquiao could beat Margarito would have been tar and feathered off the forum.

Just avoid reading the accolade echo because everyone who saw that fight has to be in awe and you are going to hear and read it if you open the subject. It will die down in another of week or so.

This comes up everytime Pacman beats the crap out of someone, i noticed that Maragrito only just left hospital with his face looking like a busted ass! I don't think Margarito thinks Pacquiao is overrated? Pac is very good and has improved every year of his career, he has fought the best there is, i'd like to see a better resume? Barerra, Morales, Marquez twice, DLH, Hatton, Cotto, Margo, and he has been a World champ since 1998! Saturday's performance was another high standard effort from the Pacman. Boxing needs Pac V PBF in 2011 more than anything in the sports history!

[sleepless]

I think pac did enough. He probably damaged Antonio margarito forever too. helped by his stupid trainer, the number of shots that margo took to the head was enormous that he must be a good candidate to becoming a future parkinson patient right now. Really, those people who tasted margo's illegal hand wraps have now got there justice. in effect, pacman became margo's karma.

Yeah, I think he didnt see the fight and relied on reading the news.

Williams?

Do agree with you that Margo was the perfect, if not, handpicked opponent for Manny. But I wasn't expecting a one sided beat down last Sunday morning (for us in the Philippines). Specially after hearing Margo was packing 17 pounds heavier than Manny. Even if the devil in me was shouting hurrahs after each round Margo was being beaten, I thought it would have been competitive until at least the first few rounds. I'd figure Margo would be his usual come forward guy but that didn't happen. He seems more shell shocked than his usual self. Dunno if that's because of pac's punches or whatever. But it really wasn't the Margo I was expecting. I don't blame him though, judging from the looks of his face after the fight.

But for me the Margo that night was the same, if not, a better Margo back when he fought Cotto. The Mosley fight, he got fuxxed up in the brain. Bottom line for me though is Pac earned his due that night for fighting a game, lively, well conditioned and gigantic opponent in Margo. Just that the come forward style was not the best thing to do against manny. But right now, I don't know. Just want the manny pbf fight to happen.

Sick of that f'n expression! Seriously, Manny's style will beat 85% of other styles and make them look "Made for him"... The fight was made because after Pac beat DLH, he wanted the biggest challenge out there, and at the time, that was Margarito.... After beating Cotto, he looked unstoppable, and no one would be saying he's "handpicked" or "Tailor Made" for Pac... Also the fight could be made very easy as it was with Arum, would make money, no negotiation drama etc etc...

People are saying Clottey was "hand picked" for Pac.. Well him and Margarito and Cotto all have different styles.. Completley different. Clottey has tight defence and solid base, Margarito constantly comes forward, And cotto uses his smarts and counters, along with good body work/strength... Then Hatton is a little bit different again...
But of course, they were all "hand picked for Pac's style"... No, Pac is just too f'n good for them.. To much better..

If someone can't match Pac's speed, then he was "hand picked for his lack of speed".
If someone can't handle Pac's combo's he was "hand picked for his poor headmovement/leaky defence"
If someone can't handle Manny's pressure coming forard, he was "hand picked for Pac to run straight through him"
If someone charges forward trying to run over Pac, They were "hand picked for him to smash when they were on the way in"...

Seriously, do you not get what's going on here??

Well, actually maybe you do, so i'll give you a challenge??

Aside from JMM because of their past, and Mayweather because he is a super human freak of nature,,,,, who the f!uck you would pick for Manny??
Bare in mind, this MUST be someone who doesn't have a single attributes that is perfect for Manny to exploit and defeat?

(Because that would mean someone will say they were "Handpicked" for Pac to beat..)


Sorry buddy.. I'll CC you after this.. it's nothing personal.. I've heard tonnes of people say handpicked regarding Pac and Mayweather fights, and I just exploded on you when I read that word in your post.. But this is to all the people who keep saying handpicked, when it's just 95% of styles can't match a truly excelent fighter like Pac or Mayweather..

All good points. No need to apologize. I completely understand where you're coming from. I guess what I'm trying to say is Manny is such a heavy favorite coming into the fight that most everyone expected him to win. In fairness though, I did insert the words "if not" since I was unsure if it would be proper to call Margo handpicked for Pac. Yeah, perhaps handpicked is such a strong word.

All good buddy...! 99% of opinion and disagreement on here will pretty much disappear when Pac and Mayweather step into the ring... until that, it's pretty reasonable to call any matchup with these guys as sub par...
