    Default Antonio Margarito

    What a fighter he actually is, he has grown so much on me recently and I find his fights are always so exciting to watch. I will never miss another Margarito fight and I think hes my 3rd favourite fighter now. The fight with Cotto for me has been fight of the year, that fight had everything in it and it was exciting from the start to the finish.

    I think Margarito will have a tough fight on his hands with Shane. Shane has the ability to box Margarito and I noticed in the Cotto fight being outboxed is a problem for him. But in saying that I believe that Mosley's punchrate combined with power and speed has declined over the years and I can see Margarito really wearing Mosley down. I think the first part of the fight will be action packed but I strongly believe that Margarito will take him down the strech and finish him late or take a UD.

    As for a Cotto rematch I really do believe it HAS to happen. The fight was so exciting and close and Cotto's boxing game plan was really good to see from the start. He would have learnt a lot from that fight and I see the rematch being a lot tougher for Margarito. I think the rematch also would have fight of the year written all over it and I can't wait for it to happen.

    If Margarito gets through this, I want to see him go up to 154 and fight Santos again and Paul Williams. For Margaritos legacy I believe these are fights that he must win. The excitment level for Margarito is outstanding and I really cant wait for 2009 so we can see another action packed year for this Mexican warrior !

    i think we will never see margarito at the level we did in the cotto fight, i feel he peaked that night and it was his best performance to date, he finally hit the big time and he had a point to prove,

    i think it can only be downwards from that point, the way he defends with his chin is going to mean a short shelf life, and i believe we will see signs of decline in his performances as early as the mosley fight

    I think he still has more in the tank and I would certainily hope he can beat Mosley. The Mosley fight I believe will be a good test to see if your right if hes on the decline. You cant say anything yet though because we havent seen him, he might get him out in the early rounds you never know

    i think he will beat mosley but maybe not as convincingly as you would expect, i just think the hard shots he took against cintron,cotto and probably mosley too will catch up with him sooner rather than later

    If I were you, Tam, I won't count on him. He's just another one of those punch eaters waiting to be exposed. It just takes a big puncher to do that. But good for him, they don't come that often these days. I think it's just a matter of time, though. I've never seen these kamikaze type fighters lasting that long. Hope I'm wrong, though.
    Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.

    Always nice to see converts Tam.I do think Mosley's deterioration have been a little over stated,The man has not been a fleet of foot boxer at peak since lightweight and Margarito has his hands full....not so much from Mosleys boxing,which has always caused problems for Tony,R.Toney,Williams,Cotto for a bit....were all fast handed and had good movement.I think Mosley has one key ingredient more important this time,The man is tough!Mosley has a good beard,decent power,loads of huge fight experience and has shown a macho streak,willing to go for a KO.

    I don't think Margarito hitting his peak equates to him slacking off and going down hill,losing drive.He leaves little to the imagination but his strengths....endurance,massive arsenal/volume,tenacity,body punching,and a head of titanium have served him very well.I would love a Williams rematch,but I honestly think Williams is not looking back wards and will be at Middle before to long after another biggie at 154.He can talk about 147 and coming back down but i just don't see it.I could be wrong.Tony is basically,should everything go according to game plan,sealed up until june with Cotto rematch.

    Off on a ramble.Yeah...i think it will be a give and take fight but I see Margarito getting Mosley on his heels,Mosley not going stick & move and his machismo getting the better of his head.I honestly can see Shane clipping Margarito in the very early rounds,effecting him but Tony only gets stronger and comes back double.Even after his 'unexpected' demolition of Cotto...remember all of the Cotto vs.DelaHoya talk....He still is dismissed as a face first non thinker.Boggles me.

    I think Cotto's fight plan was fine! The guy was outboxing Tony here and there connecting with good combinations. The only thing is that his punches were pillows against a freight train that night .

    What will his plan be this summer? Box box box and stay away from danger? Either that or put horseshoes inside his gloves.

    Well Margarito is a big 147 fighter isnt he? I think he would be able to handle to move up to 154 to fight Santos and Williams. I think Margarito has got plenty more in the tank, I hope he does because hes grown on me a lot recently.

    Gee...That has never been said about him before

    Margarito has been waiting to be exposed for so long now he will be in retirement with the claims of it still waiting to happen....

    Tony has never been dominated at an elite level.....His loses to Santos are not without drama and his loss to Williams was close..More due to his lack of starting off and losing the first rounds then anything...A mistake he openly admitted during the post fight interview.....

    As for a Kamikaze fighter that doesn't last too long he has been at it 14 years and for the last 8 he has not been without a world title for more then 2 fights.....

    his fighting at the elite level now though were the fights are more gruelling and you get hit harder and more often,

    he cant take everyone out the way he walks forward taking shots,

    they WILL catch up with him

    I read something similar right before he faced Cotto. The thinking was that AM had seen his best days & ring wars had taken their toll on him so he was on the decline. Either way, I'm looking forward to his fight vs. Shane!

    I fail to see how anyone could not like Tony , hes busy , exciting , decent puncher , chin made from space rock , and he is also a pretty good guy.
    WTF MORE DO YOU WANT PACFAN ?

    I will not make any bold predictions here because anything can happen but I will be rooting for Antonio Margarito. I have nothing against Mosley but I like Margarito more and the fact that he beat Cotto was impressive enough to believe that he can do the same with Mosley and the only thing I can take away from Mosley is the age factor and the fact that he was beat by Forrest twice and from post to pillar and I can see Margarito doing the same if not worse to Mosley this late in his career.

    Antonio Margarito hasn't had that many tough fights so i disagree, i think he still has atleast a good 4 years in him.
