Just beat on him senseless for 12 rounds or does he score a stoppage?

I think it would be a very good fightremember Margarito had difficulty with Santos

What does Santos have to do with Maidana? He was a southpaw and a natural JMW.. technically Santos was a better fighter than maidana ..
First fight was cut short and the rematch was at 154 but more importantly, what happened in that fight was a result of style clash more than anything else...
Everything maidana does and everything he's got, Margarito can do it better and is the bigger man..
Santos was huge compared to Maidana, as is Margarito for that matter. I don't think Maidana has a style that could have kept a guy like that off of him, he'd have the better craft and probably more pop, but he still comes to fight. With Margo being bigger and so much more durable, it may not have even been all that competitive.
Maidana does a lot of things better than Margarito did imo, practically everything besides durability and raw stamina, natural size etc would be to his advantage. Just those things would really cost him in this one imo.
Margarito and Maidana aren't remotely similar. Maidana is a smarter fighter, with a better jab, more power, better punch selection etcetera. Margarito had chin and stamina. That and weapons he couldn't win without hence going 1-3 when they were taken away. The question should be who wouldn't punish Margarito when he's forced to fight fair? Cotto slapped him around like a woman, Mosley pummeled him like a club fighter, Pac nearly blinded him. Watching Margie be knocked around without his weapons was like watching a cat fight with one cat de-clawed. He was awful and that made perfect sense because his feet always suggested he was an awful fighter. Thank goodness we all got to see how terrible a fair fighting Margie always should have been.
not beat him? I'd go with maidana in that one, yeah marg would outweigh/size him but I think maidana would still have more pop and it be a fun battle with maidana edging it.
I think he'd knock him out. All Perry Mason and Hardy boys if's, maybes, and career assumptions aside..Margarito was more straight, mobile and the uppercuts on Maidana would be brutal. Marcos is awkward and can hurt you with blind shots but Margarito sponged and mounted a bigger comeback with volume. Pretty sure he or anyone could not "load" a workrate, same crazy angles and brick mortar chin![]()
Margarito could get a job holding Maidana's jockstrap![]()

If instead of correct you meant to say this is a speculative answer like any of the other ones then yes sir your assertion would be correct as it is youre the one that is blind and can't seemingly be objective anything involving margo since apparently he was murderous volume puncher that destroyed people with ease without takin a shitton of punishment in return
Also when was margs prime, at 30 when mosley tooled the shiiiiit out of him?
