Re: Pacquiao vs. Margarito replay discussion thread

As he gets older, Manny's face is getting more and more marked up.

Or as he goes up in weight?

I have said for a while now. Pac is going to end up in deep trouble fighting bigger guys every fight. He looked horrible after the Cotto fight, which was a very good fight for 3-4 rounds then a slaughter. He wasn't unmarked and had his feet lifted off of the canvas by Clottey's few landed punches (specifically uppercuts). Margarito landed 220 shots on Pac. that is quite a few shots to take from a 165 pound fighter when you are eating everything you can and still weigh only 148.

it has to catch up to him sooner than later.

Yep but to be honest I only see him fight one or two more times.

I think he should fight Floyd if it's possible or hang em up. If not take some exhibition/not as threatening fights in the Philippines. He has nothing left to prove and I don't want to see him get hurt trying to push the envelope. He's done more than enough for himself, his fans, and the sport in general.
