Less skilled champions than Margarito

It may be heretical to mention this, but Foreman in his first incarnation had some of the worst technical skills I've ever seen. He got away with it because he just hit that hard.

 

Margo in his prime had pretty good footwork I think.

This loss (as well as the pac loss) means nothing as he's clearly shot.

Losing to mosley is no big deal neither but he was in his prime then.

Still with victories over martinez, clottey, cotto and cintron he has had a pretty decent career.

 

Max Baer
Chartchai Chionoi
Ricardo Mayorga
Carlos Baldomir
In my opinion Vito Antuofermo was as skilled as Margarito.....

 

Chionoi had a good jab.Better skills than MArg for sure, he just got slow pretty fast.Vito too imo.

Mayorga...yeah, no skills at all.

 

Mayorga is a good shout

 

Jorge Castro

 

Castro wasn't awful, he was just far from world class and got fouled to a title.

Maussa got a belt off of a typical journeyman upset performance. He got punched in the head till his opponent wore himself out, then he punched back. Better fighters fall to this all the time, Carlos just happened to get that upset in a title fight. He's a horrible boxer, just a tough guy who comes to fight and throws hard.

Margarito actually has a modicum of technical ability; He cuts the ring well, throws good combinations, and in his prime, imposed his size very, very well. Last night he was half blind from the third round on, and in with an opponent who was always alot better than he was. He was simply outboxed and outpunched by a determined, vengeful adversary. No version of Margarito ever wins a single round over any version of Cotto in a straight up boxing match, and with his degrading speed and injured eye, Antonio could no longer bring the pressure.

 

I agree with this ! And his uppercut is great in my opinion, one of the best of this generation (2000-2010).....

Freddie Mills. Effective enough, but ****ing terrible to watch.

 

jorge vaca

 

May thoughts approximately

 

First of all, leave Fuji alone :bbb He at least implemented some upper body movement before he sprang into action with his caveman clubs (switch hit as well, glorious stuff)

If we're taking no skills, another Oriental Light Welter tales the biscuit: Muangsurin.
