    Not who beat him the most. or who was most dominant. Who beat the best version of Antonio Margarito?

    I have to go with Williams.

    He beat Tony when he had already made 8 defences of his WBO title. Williams was considered the underdog. Margarito was just about at his prime IMO.

    Mosley's win was extremely impressive too. But i feel with the whole controversy surrounding that night its hard to envisage Margarito being mentally in the right place during the fight.

    Pac's win made Margarito look absolutely stupid. But i do feel Margo was past his prime at the time of the fight

    Santos's win came at a weight Margarito had hardly ever boxed at. Also it was a Technical Decision due to an accident head clash.

    Who do you think?

    I said Mosley. The only question I have is all the controversy was coming out at the time Margarito had to go out and fight Mosley. So that could have affected him.

    He was coming off a win against an unranked fighter and inactive, how is that the best version of Margs.?

    probably williams. the version that mosley beat is coming from a career defining victory over cotto but circumstance about that night has affected margo's focus inside the ring. the margo that pac beat could have been the most motivated version trying to prove and redeem himself from the scandal.

    he was reported to be weight drained though and was anxious because of the hand wrap fiasco. it's the quality of the fighter on top of the ring at the sound of the bell that's should be rated.

    Moseley probably faced the worst, Santos was early in the career so he was fresh but maybe not experienced, not sure never saw the fight.

    Pac fought a pretty good version but no where near the monster he was when he beat Cintron and Cotto

    lol who ever is saying Pacquiao are absolutely out of their minds.

    It's between Williams and Mosley (I'd lean towards Williams myself). Santos third, then Pacquiao.

    just to put in some discussion, the margo that pac fought was a version where margo was off to a quick start and arguably have taken round2 against pac. not even the margo that beat cotto was motivated that early. if margo had just have brought it on early in the williams fight, he could have won that fight.
