    Out of all those the only ones that legitimately beat Margarito was Paul Williams in a close fight. Tony immediately asked for a rematch, which Paul agreed too but Dan Goosen said " No way, Margarito is in our past not our future, thank you all the same" Only two people I saw legitimately beat Margarito were Williams & Pacquaio. Yeah Pac had stacked wraps but theyre legal in Vegas & Texas too now as Freddie explained

    Crawford by UD. That version of Margarito had yet to have been cracked.........man look......Cotto couldn't crack him, Paul Williams landed 1000 punches and couldn't dent him, Clottey couldn't crack him, Kermit landed flush and.......nothing.............I still don't understand how Shane did TBH. All of those men are hitters.

    Crawford would probably see what was in front of him and out-box him ala Postol

    Very interesting fight.

    This fight would depend heavily on how well Margarito could take Crawfords power.

    I think Crawford hits harder than Cotto, less hard than Mosley. So it's interesting for sure.

    If Crawfords punches have little effect than he might be in for a rough night imo, as Margaritos size and work rate would make things very interesting lol.

    However I do think that Crawford comes from behind to stop Margarito late as his power begins to make its presence felt in the 11th and 12th after he's chipped away at Margs chin for 30 minutes.

    Very intriguing matchup though imo.

    Minority opinion because Shane had that reputation of not being a big puncher except for his left hook that he sparingly used. That's why Winky felt comfortable dropping his hands in the rematch, and Mayorga ate flush haymakers for 12 rounds straight. Crawford never had that reputation for a lack of power.
