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;D

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 think Librado Andrado is big for his weightclass at 6'2 yes he hasn't got a big height advantage over every single Super Middleweight....

But he is still big for his weightclass and unless im mistaken he is sometimes up to 180 on fight night.

Bute is 6'2, Froch and Kessler and both 6'1.

Jean Paul Mendy is 6'2 and Kingsley Ikeke is 6'4.

Build wise he's a big guy i agree, perhaps not as muscled as Froch nor has the arms of a Kessler as he's a bit smooth.

Margarito doesn't backflip either.

I think their Mexican roots and a good chin is perhaps their only thing in common i suppose.

Both have a great chin. Like most active Mexicans Zetuche , Andrade and Margirito.

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.
