    Give him a chance. He lost a fight on points to a top fighter, he's still young. It's not like Margarito never lost a fight.

    How the hell is Margarito better than Cruz? Didn't Tony lost to every real top fighter he faced, didn't he also lose every time he stepped up just one weight class, wasn't he barely a one weight champ. Get serious the only notable thing he ever did was cheat Cotto only to get his ass kicked in every fight after smh.

    Lsc is much better than margo and he's not a disgraced cheat either.

    Antonio hits harder than santa cruz. I mean seriously kid never damage Frampton's face was clean as a daisy. Never shook him up! he doesn't pressure as much.

    They're both have cement block feet but Margarito had loaded gloves.

    I don't know. Give him some plaster and I think he would be even better.

    LSC should re-evaluate his strengths against Frampton....i.e. height & reach...and use them to the max. He will probably have to stop Frampton over in N.Ireland, but would probably win a decision in Los Angeles. (Hopefully LSC's dad's health remains good for awhile into the future)

    Better boxer, and better defense, but FAR worse power. I've always said LSC was a featherfisted volume puncher, but in the past year, I've chnaged my tune to he's a skilled featherfisted volume puncher. Marg also had a far better chin, still a great win regardless.

    I wouldn't say LSC's chin is really all that much worse than Margo's. Getting buzzed by a temple shot and then recovering quickly isn't all that much worse than getting wobbled by Daniel Santos or dropped by Danny Perez.

    I don't think his chin is bad, but I don't see LSC walking through a guy like Cotto's shots like that in both fights, and even the Pac fight where he was literally peppered to death if the same shots landed. He would have been knocked out. Frampton's p4p power was not as strong as Cotto.

    He hasn't met too many flamethrowers, but between superior defense and good resistance I don't see him being blasted out by some of the harder punchers in the division, either.

    I'm of the mind of waiting and seeing whether LSC's star eclipses Margo's though.

    He wouldn't be blasted out because his defense is actually solid. Marg had NO defense. If LSC had Marg's defense, he would be blasted out, because he doesn't have the same chin.

    Leo does resemble Antonio physically in a smaller version. He looks like Antonio did when I first met him in Ft Worth Tx
