    Please. Margarito was a statue who defended punches with his face.

    he still was far stronger than mayweather and hit harder

    I am willing to bet you that pac will not take as much punishment he took of toni than he would of mayweather

    Stronger yes but Mayweather poses far more questions than a 1 trick pony. Cotto boxed margarito easily for 6 rounds in there first fight and it was only the plaster that saved him.

    Mosley another fighter who deals with margarito easily.

    Margarito was and will always be a myth who has some cult fans who seem to rank him way higher than he should be.

    yup. it seems power is what boxers respect more than anything else. they have no issues fighting those feather-fisted opponents but there were many issues on gloves, ring sizes, weights, etc when involving power punchers.

    Yeah they hit very hard but so what? Both were very weight drain going in their seperate catch weight fights vs Pacquiao. The only thing margarito did that hurt pac was body punch which its about it. If margarito had the loaded weapon in his gloves he would have ko pacquiao. Cotto was also weight drain which if anybody wasnt blind they could see it.

    have a day off will you.........cotto was weak as a kitten at 145 & wasn't in love with the game at the time Margo had just recovered from eye surgery
    and was always gonna plod forward in straight lines

    Manny couldn't KO Algeieri Bradley or Marquez but you think he is gonna stop Floyd ???
