Margarito, horrible boxer, good fighter

[LondonBB]

I take back anything I said about Margarito having any boxing ability whatsoever because Cotto made him look horrible for 6 rounds. But he makes up for it with his ability to absorb punishment and keep coming forward.

Yep, his boxing skills werent v good at all.

BUT...who cares about skills when you have a chin that is as hard as the chaffed skin on big mammas inner thighs! And more stamina than a huskey dog!

The guy is like rocky marciano...he just keeps coming and coming, afraid of no one, will take anyone on and isnt afraid to lose...a pure warrior.

In the end, all of cotto's skill and power (a v skillful and powerful boxer) didnt seem to hurt marg one bit! Infact marg seemed to get stronger and stronger whilst cotto deteriorated as the fight went by. Cotto got rocked badly in one of the later rounds (9th i think) and i though marg was gonna ko him actually then, it came after cotto got caught with a left hook and was rocked. Then in the 11th he just got battered down into submission.

To see someone take all of those shots and not get rocked once is unbelievable...i mean, lets say had it been hatton, de la hoya or mayweather taking those shots that cotto threw and landing at such a good rate, they wouldve been ko'd (i think what cotto threw and connected with on marg wouldve ko'd floyd), BUT IT DIDNT EVEN ROCK MARG ONCE!

I have never seen anything like it...his chin and stamina is on another level.

If marg had really slick skills aswell as his chin and stamina, then he would bang the fuk out of floyd for breakfast.

I disagree with the school of thought that says if you cant hurt Tony he will walk you down cuz Paul couldnt hurt him either

Cintron and Cotto fell apart cuz they couldnt keep Tony off them. I do think though that Cotto wont ever be able to beat Tony cuz he will always try to box but end up fighting Margaritos fight.. Tony is fantastic against smaller men . He overwhelms them, so he should try to go for a Berto , Judah , Cotto rematch cuz bigger guys like Paul Williams and Santos have the answer to his style and its cuz they are bigger men .

PBF, great boxer, shitty fighter.

This fight has me more pissed off at PBF. This guy hasn't given the fight game DIck in the past 5 years. Compared to these guys, PBF is like a professor who preaches theory but has never been practicing in his field.

How is Mayweather a horrible fighter? Watch him fight Burton, Corley, Judah, Ndou, Chavez, the first 17ish fights of his career, Chavez. Mayweather can stand there and dish out when he isn't fighting 17 pounds over his natural weight.

First of all Mayweather has been slighly hurt only once, and Cotto would never land those type of punches against Floyd.

Who cares if he can't box? Well sure he can beat a guy who is better coming forward, but what happens when he fights a guy that knows how to move around, Paul Williams gave Margarito so many problems for 6 rounds because he was moving, When Paul stopped using footwork is when Margarito started picking it up.

If anybody thinks Margarito could even hit Floyd solidly in a fight, they are dreaming.
