If the Pound for Pound King comes out with the victory, he’ll win his world title in his eighth weight class.
Yesterday when the two fighters weighted-in, I was worried Pacquiao came to the scales at 144.6 against Margarito’s 150. That’s a huge difference in weight. And when they’re box inside the ring, Margarito may be at least 15 pounds heavier than Pac Man.
With that huge difference in weight, reach, and height, will Manny Pacquiao overcome his biggest obstacle?
He will.
