Many of those hating on Margarito were doing so before PW...

I think it's always difficult when your used to always having the advantage with certain physical attributes, and you run into someone who has the advantage with those same attributes. In this case Margarito was always used to being the long armed punching machine. Well of course PW is a longer armed punching machine.

To Margarito's credit, he tried to change his style for the unusual situation and was almost successful. It just took him a couple too many rounds to get a handle on things. I bet his chances of winning would have been pretty good in a 15 rounder against PW, and if they had a rematch I would also think he would fair better than he did.

It's possible that the loss may even help his career, as maybe the risk side of his risk/reward ratio may seem to be lessened; while actually he's just as dangerous with those physical advantages he has against almost any other WW.
