    After the performance Margarito put on the other night, can anyone name a less skilled boxer than him to have held a world title? He brought back fond memories of Rafael 'Bazooka' Limon with the way he was fighting against Miguel Cotto, completely off-balance, swinging arm punches and unable to show any type of head movement or upperbody movement to avoid the punches.

    Amazing really that he has gone onto be a champion despite his obvious lack of technique.

    I really liked Cotto's trunks! They are my favourite trunks from recently.

    Andries looks smooth as butter next to MArgarito, especially the technically improved Kronk version.

    Takeshi Fuji maybe.Bad balance, barely any skills and quite slow for the weight.Just an angry viscious guy.

    I think it will be quite difficult to find more unimpressive title-winning performances:

    It's harder to believe this now, but people on the General were calling Harris 'the new Marvin Hagler', everyone thought Harris was been ducked after Hatton, Mayweather and Cotto all removed themselves from being his mandatory. Partly because he was dangerous but also because he wanted a large share of the fight purse.

    HE also looked really good KO'ing some pretty decent contender types, in Hurtado and Ukral.

    This was his big showcase and he went out to put on a show and punched himself out in the first round attempting to get the KO. According to Steward he was 135 the morning of the fight

    Seems like Fuji still retains some popularity in Japan.
