Antonio Margarito vs Timothy Bradley....Who Wins prime for Prime

As I said in my reply to Kirk, TB has nothing that can keep Margarito off him. I think Margarito's body attack would slow TB down too much. You think TB would do what Cotto couldn't do? He's a MUCH heavier hitter then TB, and still could not slow him down. I'm sure TBwould have sucess early on, but he'd eat a lot of punches.

 

Bradley for me, I think he can adjust to Margarito's style. If Margarito was a little bit faster he could do some serious damage.

Who knows? But I feel out of 10 fights Bradley wins 6 or 7.

 

+1

People who are picking Bradley are over thinking it.

 

I don't know a prime margarito without wraps so of course it is going to be hard to list a fighter who would have shut him out without them.

Like I said. Bradley shuts a Margo with no wraps out.

 

Cheating Margarito wins by late stoppage. The real one loses.

 

:good thanks for a breakdown

I don't think Timothy needs to slow Margarito down much to beat him. Bradley is a jack of all traits, but his ring IQ is near the top and his conditioning is elite and even matched Pacquiao's. Cotto is known to gas out in plenty of fights and in a fight against Margarito, that'd play right into his hands.

Bradley has better defense than Cotto and he can move around the ring better and has much better stamina. Plus when's the last time you saw somebody be able to pin Bradley against the ropes for a long peroid of time.

 

Peterson pinned Bradley against the ropes and hurt him to the body, but Peterson has faster hands than Margo, plus after getting hurt Bradley starting boxing and moving and shut Lamont out.

 

The gap in technical ability and speed is huge here, we're talking about a guy that Made Mosley in his late 30s look to be in his prime, Margo is NOTHING without plaster.

 

:deal

timmeh would outbox him to a comfortable ud. cheato aint landing ****.

 

Would of loved to see this one. No Bradley can't ko a fly, but his conditioning is the best and he has heart. I think Margo drops him once, but gets humiliated by Bradley. Bradley is as smart as they come to he'd focus more on outboxing Margo and bodyshots than that iron chin. Bradley has wevos he won't be intimidated by anyone. Clear Bradley UD12 Margarito. Too fast, too smart, and too gritty for Margarito.

 

Margo is too big. Bradley is a jr welter

 

Margo without the wraps isn't KOing or dropping anyone.

I would say while Bradley may not have one punch KO power no one has walked through his punches to get him, he has enough pop to make Alexander hesistant and to make him quit when someone like Matthaysse couldn't. Let that sink in.

Physically I'd say Bradley is just as physically strong as Mosley, he would walk Margo back.

 

theres the outside chance he out boxes him like he did Pacquiao especially since Margarito is so much slower

but Margarito will definitely land and set a high pace and despite being easy to hit should take Bradley''s best punches without much of an issue

I think Margarito would win

 

He wasn't even stronger than Pacquiao.

 

I favor Margarito. He would get hit a lot like usual, but unless you have the power, which Bradley doesn't to hurt him, Margarito would wear him down later in the fight. Margarito in his prime days was throwing over 100 punches a round, mixing very well upstairs and down. I don't think Bradley could keep him honest enough to make it to the final bell.
