He would not be able to go 15 rounds back up against Margarito. He never had the stamina had 147 to do that. I am obviously not saying he is cut from the same clothe as Hearns or any of these as you all know I hate Margarito, but I understand the problems he presents. I think Leonard can deal with it, I think De La Hoya can deal with it, I think Duran can, but people who are talking about MOsley and his speed, he sucks off his back foot, and he always has. He is horrible going backwards, and thats what Margarito would have him do. Mosley has always had poor lateral movement, and while Margarito would miss in the middle of the ring, I see no reason to believe Mosley's poor defense would be able to keep Margarito at bay, when TOny gets him against the ropes.

    Once again people are being dumb here for two reasons. 1) You are glorifying the past. It is a psychological effect for people to think the past was better then the present, and its stupid. 2) Trying to compare fights today with back then.

    Hearns had bad stamina, and not a great defense. If MArgarito can handle his power he wins, Hearns was a very slick boxer, good defensively if you were trying to box him, but not good defensively on the inside, or in a brawl. If Margarito handles his power, this goes ala Hagler-Hearns, only it takes 8 more rounds.
    Daniel Santos doesnt have a great chin , and is not a great fighter , but he beat Margarito , and i can assure you i am not being DUMB as you say , im just giving my fucking opinion .
