Hatton wants true Greatness? Margarito has just given him a lifeline...

I was simply marvelling at the level of stupidity you were showing. Thanks for giving us the benefit of your education BTW :good

 

I don't even think we disagree lol. I rate Buchanan from 4 to 7, anyway.

Do you even understand what point I was making?

 

On 2nd reading I think I know where you are coming from....apologies. :nod

 

Fluxstuff baby you know I love you after many great debates. You added about Cotto versus Margarito are probably correct. Cotto is the better fight with better skills but he did or was not able to make the adjustments as the fight went on. What is annoying is that in the 1st 5 rounds Margarito was bewildered. If I was Cotto's trainer I would be pissed off how this slipped away I really would.

As for PBF what people forget is that he has faced to many incessant mexican/mexican style pressure fighters. PBF would outpoint Margarito 120-109 hell he might even stop him because outbox and outfox Margarito worse than Cotto did in the1st half of their contest then it would be interesting to see if the Tornado unravels and gets stopped. People forget that PBF is a genuine puncher and master blaster. He has stopped the likes of Hatton, Angel Manfredy, both Gonzales, Jesus Chavez amongst others to name a few. The crux is that Cotto who is a fairly aggressive boxer puncher himself in the Latino fashion needed to show who was the tougher hombre and that might have contributed to his downfall.

Ajose would beat Margarito this was crystallised for me the way Paul Williams beat Margarito. Ajose is faster, a better boxer and more spiteful puncher.

 

Sorry to go slightly off-topic..but..
I remember the Aaron Pryor-Bobby Joe Young fight pretty well.
Anybody remember during the introductions that Aaron Pryor started arguing with somebody in the ring and I think pushed him with his glove. The other bloke then punched him quickly in the face and then the two got separated.
Does anybody know what that was all about? Who was the other guy? I know it's going back quite a few years.

 

:rofl :rofl :rofl

Like little Wicky has any kind of chance against Margarito. Few would've given Hatton a chance even before Margo bashed up Cotto....I mean what the **** are some of you thinking? :huh

 

Margarito will murder Hatton. That's a fact.

 

Huge welter vs Small lightwelter/above average lightweight

Seems pretty clear to me - the only way Hatton has a chance is a castillo type KO (not happening realistically) or potshotting to get out of range for 12 rounds and hoping for a gift UD (not Hatton's style)

Hatton doesn't know when to take a step back, and this would be his undoing in this encounter. Late stoppage for Tony in an entertaining fight in which Hatton will have his moments.

 

Yeah the only possible way I see Hatton winning is if he lands a Castillo like body shot, and how likely is that? Margarito on all evidence can take it to the body too and is not shot, unlike Castillo was. Hatton just has no chance of putting a dent in him, is not cute enough to outbox Margo and his workrate is nowhere near as good. He does not do anything better that Margarito that I can think of, on on top of that is smaller. He'd get battered and stopped. This is a real quality pressure fighter against a guy who throws a hook and then holds and wrestles. How many clinches were there in Cotto-Margo? I can think of 1, when Cotto was holding on when hurt.
I just don't get how some think Hatton has a chance, especially as it's probably the same guys who made the 'too small' excuse after the Floyd and Collazo fights. Now you think he has a chance against as big and as sturdy a ******* as you will see at 147???

 

:yep

 

P4P, Hatton would beat Margarito.

In a real match up, Hatton leaves on a stretcher.

 

Great. Another semi-literate txt muppet!atsch

 

don't 8, e iz a new b

 

I'm only thinking of Dan, you know he's a bit of a Grammar Nazi...

 

no way.
tell us what Hatton has or does better than Margarito. Faster footwork and that's about it.
