    Shorter does not equal smaller.

    Manny was featured on this past week's 60 Minutes.

    Wow, that was bad -- loved the segment with Shane beating his ass down.

    People worry about the height difference, but it really doesn't matter if Pacman is a lot faster than Margarito. Rocky Marciano proved that if you are faster than the other guy and hit harder, being shorter than your opponent can actually be an advantage. Boxing experts also know that you can express power better punching up than down.

    I may have to go out to a bar and watch this fight - it may be the last chance to watch Pacman in his prime beat down someone well-deserving of the privilege.

    I used to just not know a lot about Margarito, but after seeing him mock Roach in that video like that, I hope he gets pulverized. :eek:

    I don't hate too many people, but I'm close to hating him. Low class emmeffer. :(

    I had it the other way around. I didn't check myself before I wrecked myself. :( Good catch.

    Trained at 153 for the Clottey bout, but he's refusing to pack on more weight and is working at 147 right now to maintain his speed. Margarito will have close to a 30 lb. advantage on fight night... scary.

    Pacman is going to eat Margarito alive. This is going to be great. On to the next one.

    as long as the weight advantage isn't inside his gloves Manny has nothing to worry about.

    Margarito is shot. Manny likely had tougher sparring then him. Lmao at anyone who buys into they Top Rank hype making this sound like a competitive fight

    Why doesn't PacMan act like an a-hole like Marga-cheat-o does?

    :( I'm more depressed now that I saw the Mexican flag behind them. SMH

    True but beatdowns are still entertaining. Like the Floyd/Shane fight, Shane looked shot too. And this is still boxing, where one punch can change a fight. Which is why I love the sport. What else is there to watch on Satruday? UFC? Ha ha ha.

    Should be child's play, but as Angkor said, it''s only going to take one clean shot on the button from Margarito to send Manny to the canvas. Margarito's going to be looking for the kill-shot, but we saw how that strategy worked out for Sugar Shane against Money. Granted, Money's a superior defensive fighter to Manny, but I think Manny's going to pick this fraud apart.

    Ahh dont worry about the Mexican flag.. This guy does not represent Mexico. I have coworkers and friends who are Mexican and they all dislike this guy also.

    I never like it when people like to make it all about race...In this case the Filipinos vs the Mexicans. . that's not what this fight is about. Sure people can be proud of their country like the Chinese are of Yao but that's not everything. Glad some people can still be objective and realize that Margarito is a punk. Pacman regardless of your background is a very likable classy fighter who entertains us all. Hope he wins against this classless cheating thug.
