http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=3851437 I just read this on ESPN and i'm just suprised that someone can come up with these mythical conclusions .... What do you guys think about what was written?
I honestly don't think Margarito could beat a prime 147 Tito or Oscar. Remember Tito losses are at 160 and 170lbs.(Where he doesn't belong)
I agree a prime Oscar would take Margarito to a decision or stop him late ... Tito definitely stops him mid rounds ... Tito is stronger and faster than Margarito at 147.
I'd say late rounds...I would look at the Mayorga fight. Mayorga had a STONE chin. Never been KD or KO'd before...he was stopped in the 8th. But Mayorga gave him a lot opportunities as well. Margarito isn't a showboater so the opportunities wouldn't be as many. BUT Margarito IS an easy target so I see a late round stoppage.
Honestly, I think Margarito loses all those fights apart from possibly Cuevas and Napoles, who would definately outbox him but could get stopped on cuts with Margo's constant pressure. I'd still back him to take a decision though.
The key to the victory over Margarito is just plain old fashioned boxing. Both Cotto and Cintron proved that no welterweight puncher can knockout Margarito. If you can't beat him on points you can't beat him. It is clear that prime DLH could out box Margarito, it is not so clear about Trinidad.
Trinidad would decapitate his ass, even today, and Sugar Shane is going to do what was written about the other sugar.
WTF? Houston picks Margo over Benitez. Benitez would outbox his arse. Prime Oscar and Tito would also beat him.
