He probably would have gone down from the left hook, but lets not overlook the obvious here. The dude took a headlong run into a ring post. I'd say that had some effect on his being knocked out.
From his punching technique to his footwork Castillo is a better fighter. Look at the adjustments he made in the second Corrales fight. Even Diego gave him, props for it.
you are pulling my leg. You know he would not have hit the post if he didn't get hit with the left hook right?
Margarito just walks in straight lines ... doesn't cut off the ring good ... he's usually following his opponents -- He doesn't know how to fight going backwards ... no head/shoulder movement ... and is inable to throw straight punches ... most of them are winging and from an unsafe distance.
Yeah but he is huge. Floyd could fight at 140 if he chose. margo could fight at 154. you can't dismiss AM so easily. in no way would it be easy. And Floyd would have to move all night, and most likely break a hand along the way on AM's rock head.
It was a question ... not about his size or anything like that ... what fighter do you know of that threw wide punches and was effective against PBF?

Big deal if they're wide - If he's throwing six and Floyd counters two of them, that's stil 3 odd shots Mayweathers going to absorb. Even if Floyd takes them on the gloves and arms - It's gonna wear him down. When has Margarito been hurt by a guy of Mayweathers size? When has he been discouraged from coming forward?
Seems to be the case, these groupies will never learn. They praise a coward and talk **** about a true warrior. **** em.
oh ok ... even with that ... I don't get how size matters in this situation ... Margarito isn't all that big and i'm not sure if he has the power that would make me change my mind on my decision.
Id suggest nobody should get too cocky as anything can happen when 2 complete opposite`s meet in a ring. Id be rooting for Margo as I think Floyd is a right *****.
