It's no secret that Manny Pacquiao's best formula for beating his opponents has been his speed. His opponents from Joshua Clottey, Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton, Oscar De La Hoya, David Diaz, Juan Manuel Marquez, Marco Antonio Barrera and others all attest it was Manny Pacquiao's speed that conquered them.

And it is with this speed that Manny Pacquiao will defeat the bigger and stronger Antonio Margarito for his record eigth world title next Saturday at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

“Yung speed pa rin ang magdadala,” said Manny Pacquiao following a rigorous two-and-a-half hour of training at the Wild Card gym with trainor Freddie Roach.

“We can use that easily. If there’s speed, there’s nothing to worry about,” Manny Pacquiao added. “I know he (Antonio Margarito) has the advantage in reach, but we will use our advantage in speed.”
