I think my own opinion of Margarito is that he's kind of similar to Librado Andrade. He's not particularly skilled but he hits hard, he's very strong, he can take a shot and he never gives up.

Where he scores more highly than Andrade however is in his size. Andrade fights in the super middleweight division where he is a big but not exceptionally big guy.

Margarito has Andrade's assets coupled with the fact he is HUGE for a welterweight.

Imagine Librado Andrade fighting full strength at 160lbs and you basically have Antonio Margarito.

He's a frightening guy to fight against in his weight class. Fair enough he was beaten by Williams (whose the biggest welterweight in the world) and Daniel Santos (who is a good sized junior middleweight probably only a fight away from a world title shot) but certainly Floyd and Cotto havn't faced anyone like him yet.

Not saying he will beat those guys but he's certainly an interesting test.

I still think he'll get back in the mix. If he can destroy Cintron again he'll be right back up there.

Besides if Floyd takes a year off as planned Cotto, Williams, Mosely etc will be looking for a big name opponent and he could fit the bill.

Don't discount him just yet.
