    What is your take on Margarito's handwrapping?

    Im thinking its probably over exaggerated

    All i know is I saw Margarito fight when he was an 18 year old prospect against tough vetran journeyman Alfred Ankamah and he was hitting real hard then and he brutalized him. I highly doubt that Margarito was loading his gloves then. Also saw him many times after that he has always been a good puncher and dismantled opponents in the same fashion as recently.

    And yet, his punches had little or no affect on Mosley after he was stripped of those cheating tools where previously he ripped the ear of one brutalised opponent which Ring described, with a measure of understatement this month as "suspicious in retrospect".

    I guess what i'm trying to say is, I find it very difficult to predict what and how fights will pan out without really knowing whether or not his best victories came about via cheating tools.

    Well we will soon find out.

    Who do you like the Margarito that beat Cotto,Cintron,and fought Williams to a close fight or The Muniz who fought Napoloes in a close loss,and warred with Palomino?

    How do you rate the Muniz that fought Leonard? Did Palomino finish him? I've never seen the fight.

    Anyway, I think, I think I like Muniz. He is at a serious size disadvantage but he's as tough as they come and I don't think Margarito could break him. Meanwhile, we've seen Margarito can be sapped by a man game enough to stay with him throughout last time out. Muniz pulls it out down the straight.

    Muniz was past his best in both fights with Palomino imo.

    At his best he had as good a jaw as Margarito and was a better overall slugger/swarmer hybrid with clearly more ringcraft than Antonio as well.

    The cheating hack has size on his side and maybe more power, but i favour mando.

    Well the Muniz that fought Leonard was definetly past it. Ive talked to Mando on several occasions(hes also president of the WBHOF) also was a High School Principal.

    Anyways i told him how he things wouldnt have been so one sided in the fight with Leonard in his prime and he told me yey, but LEonard was just to damn fast.
    He sounded like he didnt like his chances even in his prime.
    But in a recent interview (its on you tube) at the Arreola klitchko fight they asked him who would have won between Napoloes and Leonard and without hesitation he picked Napoloes the reporter said really and Muniz said oh yeah he would have beat LEonard, in the same interview he also said that he should have got the first fight with Napoloes but that Napoloes definetly beat him the second time.

    PS Muniz was also an all state wrestler in high school

    Anarci:

    Open a seperate internet window. Go to the video you want to paste.

    Click and hold on the YouTube icon that sits beside the web address for that web address.

    Literally lift the icon into the message you are currently posting:

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPQlNhGMlGQ[/ame]

    The site automatically recognises the youtube web address and does the rest.



    Don't feel like you have to do it here, but have a practice. You can always edit your post if it goes mad wrong.

    I never thought much of Mando. I'd favor Margo to outmuscle/outhustle/overpower him to a decision win or perhaps late stoppage.

    Muniz would've won a 12 round fight with Palomino. It's possible that Margarito can't get the granite-jawed Muniz out of there early enough and loses a close decision.
