    I’d take Norris by TKO due to accumulated damage, either the ref or Margaritos corner stepping in.

    Daniel Santos used his head. LITERALLY !!! Both fights one a N/C & the other a bogus stoppage decision both due to severe cuts on Margarito due to head butts Home town Puerto Rico decisions. Andre Ward watched this & learned LOL

    Tony would never let his corner stop the fight LOL It took the doctor stopping the Cotto2 fight, to save Cotto quitting AGAIN!!! NOT to save Tony's eye. Cotto couldn't LEGITIMATELY beat a Margarito who only had one good eye

    Right…. And I’m picking Terry Norris to stop Margarito, this has very little to do with Cotto Margarito 2

    C.J, When will everybody recognize Margarito's chin again? I feel like now everybody is overrating his power again.

    Martinez was pretty green at that point. And, the fight was at 147.

    Margarito might be as green as Martinez TBH. Even if Martinez was green, the fact that the fight was THAT one sided shows how good was Margarito was. There's a whole lot of fighters who are green but wasn't that one sidedly beaten up like that.

    And your question was Did Margarito knocked out a "decent" fighter at 147. I highly believe that a green Martinez is slightly better than decent, or maybe decent.

    I said "above" 147. My point being that Terry Norris was a Junior Middleweight with Middleweight power. Margarito, as tough and relentless as he is, just doesn't have that kind of power.

    Terry Norris is never known for being a devastating puncher at Jr. Middle and now you're saying he has Middleweight power? You stretch his power way too much. No one except Simon Brown said hit him the hardest and the only reason he said that becuz there's no other recognizable punchers he fought except him. There's a bunch of opponents said Terry didn't hit the hardest including Jorge Castro, Meldrick Taylor, Julian Jackson and John Mugabi.

    He couldn't even knock Troy Waters out. Waters is a decent fighter with a "good" chin at best. When he took all of Terry's punches, all of it seem so dramatic. The commentators kept talking how Troy was still standing despite the being beaten up while Margarito gets beaten up like that everyday and no one notice how heroic he was. That's becuz he made it look easy. If Margarito couldn't knock him out, I highly believe it's gonna be like Leonard-Geraldo. Getting punished just to easily last the distance.

    You are certainly entitled to your opinion. But, the evidence you cite above to support your argument that Terry Norris is not a big puncher is ludicrous. Terry Norris DESTROYED Meldrick Taylor in 4 rounds. Nobody had ever done that to Taylor before (including Hall Of Famers Chavez and McGirt). Norris decimated Mugabi in one ****ing round! And it was for the full 10 count, not a TKO. Even Hagler couldn't do that to Mugabi. The fact that he couldn't stop a guy like Jorge Castro doesn't mean much at all. Castro was only stopped once or twice in almost 150 fights. And those were at Cruiserweight (over 40 pounds above his best fighting weight.) This is a guy who went the distance with Roberto Duran, Roy Jones, and Cruiserweight titlist Vasily Jirov. Castro had an iron chin. And, why do you keep going on and on about Troy Waters when he was dropped several times by Norris, and, didn't even see the fourth round? These are not the works of a guy who isn't a big puncher.

    Norris was more skille than Manny with a better reach, he would have boxed Ant`s ears off.
