    margarito was as good as soto karrass. they have the same style. plodders that are super slow but have a good punch and good chin. margo doesnt know how to use angles. and just like when maidana fought soto karrass, i think that margo has his moments but maidanas speed and power will get to him eventually. margo was and always has been highly overrated.

    So Margarito is being put on that Soto Karass status now? lol

    I know Maidana is the flavor of the month and all but this is getting out of hand..

    Yeah that's a bit much. I never rooted for Margarito even before the wraps and don't like his style in general, but he was capable of giving anyone a hell of a fight for a few years. The guy was a huge welterweight with a massive engine who could walk through bombs, Karass is a good journeyman.

    That depends. Are we talking Margarito with or without Plaster of Paris in his gloves?

    As far as I'm concerned, that cheating cunt's whole career is in question.

    im not saying that maidana is great by any means, im saying that margarito isnt great by any means either. who has margo beaten in his entire career that was any good? cotto and thats it. thats why it was such a big upset because cotto was seen as way better and margo had to use plaster to win. other than cotto, his best win was probably clottey and he only won that fight because clottey hurt his hand early in the fight because clottey was easily beating him before that. he has lost anytime that he has stepped up.

    Joshua Clottey and an undefeated Kermit Cintron spring to mind. Clottey lost just like he did against Cotto because he couldn't dig as deep in the later rounds as Margarito n Cotto could.

    I look at Soto Karass as a poor mans version of Margarito. Antonio had a far better chin, more strength, athleticism and punching power as well.

    Maidana did great in beating Broner and he is a hell of a fighter. However, lets not get carried away and pretend he's a true welterweight who could have beaten Margarito, Cotto, Mosley of a few years ago.

    Would've been a great fight. I'd back Margarito to stop him. As has been said - he's naturally bigger and IMO tougher and he's fought much stronger fighters than Maidana.
