    Has anyone said Margarito in this thread yet?

    He was the man of the sport after the Cotto win.

    Lamont Brewster

    the guy was an absolute beast in his prime, as he showed by dominating Wlad and then being robbed(IMO) against Lyakhovich.

    He had a great chin, great power and a high work rate. unfrtunately due to his style he shipped too many shots and his chin cracked.

    add vargas and mayorga for the exact same reasoning

    Miguel Cotto.

    Some people had him as a future P4P#1 before Margarito dismantled him.
