    No, Basilio is far sharper and would simply not miss with his short ripping hooks, plus he's durable to boot, we will not see a Margo-Cotto incident here. Basilio no doubt what so ever.

    Basilio would beat him worse than Shane did.

    Basilio is a top 10 WW and a top 20 MW (at most)

    Margarito as much as i like him aint nowhere near Basilio

    i used to adore the guy, i knew he would beat Cotto wish i put a bet on (well got me dad too)

    but i dont think he cheated in any other fight just the Shane one and i blame the trainer anyway

    What about with plaster?

    On a serious note, obviously Basilio is the better fighter, but this would be an absolute war.

    It would be a one sided war up until the later rounds, in which Basilio's dominance would really start to show and he would really start pounding Margo.

    To plagiarise the line the late great Reg Gutteridge used after reporting his first big fight in the States,[Basilio v Robinson1]" Carmen Canes Sugar",
    Paraphrase to " Carmen Murders Margarito".
    A real warrior v a wannabe.

    Wow i remember on the front of the boxing news it read 'sugar caned' after Forrest-Mosley 1, so they stole that line.
