Why is Margarito rated so highly?

Who said Paul Williams was too green? He's 32-0 24 ko's. And he's fought some decent opposition. And I'll guarantee you if he wins his fight with Margarito, he'll be screaming for Floyd from the rooftops. And Floyd will pretend he's deaf.

On the other hand, he has a few losses, and others consider him not that good.

IMO, sure, he can bang, but will be exposed, and would never beat Mayweather. As for the rest, we'll see.

Hatton was avoided but I see alot of people slagging him. At least he beat a name!

Jab, overhand right, jab, overhand right etc, etc, etc............. Stylistic nightmare lol ;)
He is tall, has long arms and is imposing. To me, he looks ragged and wide open on the inside. He varies his overhand right with the odd uppercut, which is quite fast, and then follows with a left hook which is good. However, he nearly always goes for the big right, and if you have an effective counter, probably through crowding, he cannot get that shot off, or if he tries is open for an uppercut. Alternatively, you could beat him to the punch and Mayweather would do that all night long.

Paul Williams is only a threat because of his size skill wise he's not on the level of PBF.

Remember, Floyd collects green straps too. Baldomir had it.

Yeah, well what about the time he said "The IBF is the best sanctioning body on the planet," before he faught Zab Judah, he's got more faces than a town clock. Everyone knows these days a belt isn't worth shit.

uote] 8)You have no idea what your even talking about whats up with that he'll beat down anybody from where your at! 8)

8)What I was meaning was he would beat a Ricky Hatton he is better than Hatton its hard for Margarito to beat people that wont fight him because they know he has a good power punch and works people down by usually the middle rounds. As I have said Mayweather wouldnt fight him nither would Oscar because they carry the chance of getting beat and that is risking a lot to them because there goes the money. I wasnt trying to insult anybody. Its going to be interesting to see him put up his belt against Williams dont no if you know who that is or how really good he is either.8)

I take it you've only seen the Clottey fight ::** ::** ::** ::** He has a jab,overhand right,can counter at times,left upercut and right uppercut,right hook and he always throws in combinations. You need to go and watrch more of him in ::** ::** ::** ::**

8) I have been trying to tell some people they just dont know or havent seen enough of Margarito he is a tuff fighter and will give anybody trouble in the ww divission! 8)

Margarito's a tough guy & he'll be a handful for anyone at WW. It is unfortunate that he has not secured a big name fight because has paid his dues in my eyes.

Yeah I really thought the Cintron victory was his coming out party! But because he wasn't the poster boy like Cintron he fell under the radar.

He should have got a shot at the big time after his wins over Antonio Diaz or Andrew Lewis but I feel the bullsh*t result against Santos affected his progress. If that fight had have continued I think Tony would have KO'd him & would be a big player himself right now!

I'm not denying that he is tough, but he is very one dimensional.

He also threw that shot against Gomez and Williams.

8) Hes really not One demensional he is always coming from different angles hes like Cruz Carvahal in the 122 divission and watch out cause hes coming! He can hit you from any hand upper low hes a tuff fighter Margarito is you will see. As I mentioned Cruz hes another one who not that many people know about look out 126lbs soon! 8)
