Both Pacman and Margarito are legends which make it hard to decide or predict who will come victorious in WBC 154-pound title. However, we can take an in depth look at how both these legends handle a fight. Let us start with Margarito . He’s advantage is both his height and reach. This gives him a larger reach over Pacman on long distance boxing . However, if the fight will stay short distance between them, Margarito will certainly lose the fight. Pacman's left-cross strength and footwork technique will lead him victorious. Pacman's left-cross and footwork expertise will certainly come in handy. If Margarito gets Pacman with his straight jab and upper-cut to the jaw then that is another story.
According to Bob Arum
“Cotto was beaten and even with [Hall of Fame trainer] Emanuel Steward now with him, I don’t think people believe that it’s enough to make a difference and I’m not sure they would buy it as competitive,” Arum said by telephone from his vacation home in Los Angeles.
“But putting aside the controversy about the wraps, the one thing you know for sure with a Margarito fight is that it will be a hell of a fight for however long it lasts.
“Margarito knows only one way to fight and that’s coming forward. They’re going to get in there and fight. That’s what people want to see.”
Basing from there record it seems that Pacman may have the edge over Margarito but these are only speculations and opinions. On November 13,2010 all of our questions will be answered when one of these legends come out victorious over the other.
