What past fighters could of stopped Antonio Margarito

[LEGION]

Mike Tyson, Lennox of the Lewis and maybe Corrie Sanders

Thay would beat Margerito

So would Bigfoot, Chewbacca and Godzilla.

I think they meant fighters in the same weight class

Bigfoot, Chwie and Godzilla would be too heavy not same class of wait

i cant see why people are treating margarito as if he is some sort of indestructable god - daniel santos anyone ??

tito would stop him as would hearns, SRR obviously and maybe a prime DLH

Margarito that fought Cotto on Saturday was as close to indestructable as you can get he took 6 rounds of punishment and kept jogging forward.

One thing he did show was that he was very beatable if you box him cleverly I think most of the fighters mentioned could beat him, but still cant see anyone stopping him

This thread is kind of diminishing Margarito's great, great win the other night. I mean I know being a huge Cotto fan that it SUCKS he got beat and beaten up badly at that. But lets give Margarito respect, he is a tremendous fighter and the absolute best 147 lber in the world today.

Not including retired fighters.

The first man that comes to mind who would stop Margarito, well two men actually, are "The Hitman" Tommy Hearns and "Sugar" Rey Leonard.

But I'd pretty much pick them to stop almost any welterweight who ever lived.

ye but i dont personally think cotto hits that hard, his an accumulation puncher not a one punch ko artist, and when your boxing of the back foot as he was it was near impossible for him to stop margarito the way he would with most other fighters. wereas the likes of tito, hearns etc could hit stupidlly hard , and i dont care how good his chin is , the human body can only take a certain force to the head before it will shut down to protect itself

Hearns is arguably the hardest hitter to ever grace the welterweight division. His power could have penetrated Margarito's chin. Plus we all saw how Paul Williams height and boxing ability gave Tony trouble, albeit his tying up and constant throwing of punches himself helped too.

Just thought of another powerhouse at welterweight, Henry Armstrong!
Now I bet he coulda hurt Margarito.

Shows how good of fighter Margarito has become though, that we have to sit here and think up literally LEGENDS, to find someone who could stop him.

I don't know if this was towards me or not but I don't think Margarito is a indestructible god. I just don't think he could be STOPPED by any of the welterweight's except Ray Robinson.

[Scrap]

Burley kod Heavyweights and L/heavys World Class ones to while weigthing 10/10 and Tony wouldnt have hit him with a Handfull of Rice

[The Rookie Fan]

I'm pretty sure Tito would be capable of stopping him. Probably not KO him but hurt him enough to cause a stoppage. NOTE I said capable...

Same for the rest. Margarito's performance last Saturday was indeed something of legends but he is just way too hitable to be unstopable.
