As you see in the above table, it seems that Margarito has greater physical shape-up. Can these physical attributes of Margarito hinder Pacquiao to win the fight? I don't think so. But we don't know for sure. These are Margarito's asset. Pacquiao has lesser physical attributes than Margarito. Margarito may be stronger, bigger and taller but with Manny Pacquiao's experience, speed and agility, it's a match. Then, we don't know who will win for sure again.
For Manny Pacquiao to win the fight vs Margarito let's also consider...
What are some of Manny Pacquiao's techniques in order to beat Margarito?
Manny Pacquiao said, ""Aatake kami sa first and second rounds,” (In English, "I will attack in the first and second round"). An "early attack" plan by Manny. Do you think this technique will bring fear to Margarito as if Margarito should prepare and keep it in his mind in the 1st and 2nd rounds of fight? A speedy pow! pow! pow! and bang! bang! bang! by Pacquiao to Margarito. How's that?
