    Jesus as if this man didn't rack up enough miles on the clock in professional fights! I can never look past the gloves situation with this man unfortunately, but he was absolute nails tough, I'll give him that.

    Legitimately a tough mother****er. "Willing to die in the ring" is a cliche but I believed it with him.

    I noticed 2 things. Margo was fighting southpaw, something I don't recall him doing in real fights and a bucket of hardened plaster in the corner of the gym. Interesting.

    Tough SOB no doubt but my idea of watching something fun is watching Mosley wreck that cheating pos on a loop.

    Same. I loved Tony and gained tons of respect for him after he and Paul Williams agreed to fight each other when both were clearly being ducked.. I lost a lot of that after the glove fiasco especially looking at the Cotto and Cintron fights again. He still was a fun fighter to watch and the Cotto rematch proved to me that Cotto still suffered psychologically from that first fight.

    Crazy to see how hard he punched. Sometimes in sparring youre able to gain a better appreciation of such things than you can watching the professional production of a fight.

    Those shots he was landing in this sparring match were gnarly.

    Who is the other fighter here?

    In preparing Manny for Margarito, Roach was asking some of the fighters who sparred with him about his power. it was all over the board, some saying he hits like Tyson and some saying he was average.
