I like the way people use Castillo as justification to dismiss Margaritos chances. After all didn't Jose push him close twice? Didn't Judah and ODLH push him close?
When was the last time PBF stayed centre ring entire fight?
I hear the word accuracy a lot as a deterant for Tony, How accurate can Floyd be? every single punch Cotto threw landed on the point of Margaritos chin, with more power than Floyd has ever thrown a punch.
Yes Marg is slow, but he doesn't stop coming. Baldomir couldn't crack an egg and he has half Tony's output, Hatton is a so called pressure fighter who throw's 40 punches a roundthere is no comparison.
Marg throws wide punches? 90% of the punches he threw against Cotto had minimum back swing/follow through, and came through the centre, they weren't the wild swings that N'dou threw in that gif where Mayweather avoids them, and half this board masturbates over. The commentators thought Cotto was winning the fight early cause they thought Tonys short punches, which hit arms/shoulders/ribs, were ineffective, NOT because Cotto was making him look like a bum.
Believe it or not I have PBF favourite if this fight comes off, I'm just being one sided in my arguments because the majority of you are being ridicilously one sided in yours.
If I were a trainer I'd be recommending PBFs style before any other, but guess what an apparently unbeatable style doesn't always equate to being a complete legend of your time. You have to prove it in the ring. Tyson looked unbeatable for four years, what if he retired before Douglas? would we give him the benefit of the doubt on beating every heavyweight that came after? unfortunately we probably would.
PBF has a very very good resume, but he has not faced the main challengers that were available to him at the time he was active to be considered amongst the Armstrongs/Robinsons of this world. Corrales was a good unbeaten name, give him that, Castillo is ONLY famous BECAUSE of his performances against PBF, He did not fight Tszyu when he stepped to 140, he fought Mitchell and Gatti, funny how he managed to fit those guys in for prob less than a million. I actually rate ODLH as a great win since it was a new weight and Oscar looked good in the previous fight and in Floyd's fight. Hatton, well he never showed anything at Welter.
Anyway, rant over.
