Pacquiao vs. Margarito
Pacquiao vs. MargaritoThe Pacquiao/Margarito fight is highly anticipated as Manny Pacquiao goes for a vacant title in his eighth weight class division. His matchup against Antonio Margarito November 13th in Cowboys Stadium brings many anticipated viewers to see how they can contend after Margarito’s loaded gloves incident.


Pacquiao has a record of 51-3-2 (38 KOs) while Margarito has a record of 38-6 (27 KOs), both of them suffered losses early in their career. Though Manny has a better record, Antonio has been fighting longer. The biggest drawback is that Antonio Margarito hasn’t fought in two years. Meanwhile Pacquiao has been consistently building a reputation as a great fighter.

Antonio Margarito has the height advantage over Manny Pacquiao and a lot to prove if he wants to bring his reputation into a favorable light, whereas Manny Pacquiao sets out to prove he’s the best in every fight he enters. Both fighters are in their early 30’s and fighting since teenagers must be taking a toll on their bodies; Pacquiao will be fighting wear and tear while Margarito has had two years to hone his body while waiting for someone to give him his license to fight back.

Pacquiao has stated he wants someone in the dressing room with Margarito to watch him wrap his hands. He believes that Margarito took care of his own hands and fully knew about the sheet-rock accessories that had been wrapped into them. Manny Pacquiao believes everyone deserves a second chance, but he’s not taking that chance.

Pacquiao has been a tremendous force in the welterweight division, but the stamina it takes to hang with the middleweights can take a toll. He’s a natural hard hitter and will depend on his speed to start the fight for the first few rounds. This fight has the makings of going the distance. Margarito is out to prove he is worthy of a title and that he’s not all about the scandal, that he’s a true fighter that doesn’t need the aide of loaded gloves to win. Pacquiao is a dominating force out to prove he’s the best at what he does and he’s not afraid to prove it where it counts.
