Thread: Is Librado Andrade the Super Middleweight version of Antonio Margarito ?

Both similar fighters in my opinion both big for there weightclass both men have granite chins...............

Both never stop coming and of course both are mexican does anyone else see the resemblance ?

nope
next question

Andrade doesn't have the explosiveness of Margarito. There are vague similarities, but Andrade is more like Kassim Ouma at 154. Steady pressure without great power or speed + a great chin. He doesn't have quite the workrate Ouma had at his best but stylistically Andrade is closer to Ouma than Tony.

Unless Andrade is 4" taller than Bute, Froch and Kessler...then no.

Antonio Margarito wasn't taller than Kermit Cintron or Paul Williams i fail to see what your trying to say.

You said it yourself, he's big for his weightclass...

...well Andrade isnt. He is about the same size as the rest.

Do you understand that?

I see your point, 'cause they both have titanium chins (granite's not hard enough)... but I think the comparison does Margarito a disservice. Margarito is a huge WW, whereas Andrade is typical SMW size. And Margarito has more firepower and a more relentless style.
