Pacquiao gave Margarito a new eyelid, while Pacquiao just had a little red on his face. To add to this Margarito had 17 lbs. on Pacquiao.

There is an old adage that is often used in situations like this. "It's not the size of the dog in the fight that counts, but the size of the fight in the dog".

17 pounds and a couple of inches of height isn't that much to give away when the smaller man has overwhelmingly superior talent/skill otherwise. (Hand speed, better timing, better footwork, etc.)

When you saw these guys up close - it was like a boy against man. You could see Pac Man havn't to really tuck in hard to deal with the shear weight of Margarito's blows. Even without lead in them LOL!

I've been a fan of the Pac Man for years, every since I saw him fight on ESPN 2 on a boxing program. I thought from that day he was the best pound for pound fighter out there. He is just poetry in motion when he fights.
