This would be an exciting fight and i think Margarito would be comfortable at Mw.. A couple years ago most eveyone would pick Margo .. But what about now? I thinmk this would be a war although istill think Margarito comes out on top.. Who wins Veneno or the Tijuana Tornado?
Margo gets the job done on the inside and wears him down, hopefully he doesn't get hurt too much in the cotto fight, but imo he should get out after cotto and minimize the long term damage, I say he breaks jr. too.
Now Not to mess up Rubios good win he won because he came in with the perfect game plan... let leminuex get tired... use distance and block all the punches.. IDK if he can do the same with MARGO.. Now if we are talking about the current MARGO... I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT because it would be hart to call MArgo is cleary another level down then when he was on fire...
:goodI agree and unless Cotto boxes and gets on his bike i think Margo will beat him again... After that Margo could retire with 2 huge paydays and maybe go out with a big win.
Oh im definitely talking about the current Margo... A fresh Margo would be a huge favorite and would definitely handle Rubio.... Im talking about the war torn one . I still say Margo but Rubio would give some fire in return.
i could see arum matching up margo with chavez jr if he beats cotto, and jr beats zbik. margo could trying for a 3rd division title to join the mexican greats, against the son of ultimate mexican icon. sure everyone would love that :yep
cotto/margo winner vs chavez jr for the wbc middleweight title would be great either way. cotto going for his fourth division title, i like.
You're right. He's a glove loader. The cardinal sin in boxing. Margarito's a schmuck. It's outrageous people still hold value to any of his accomplishments. He will probably retire after Cotto II and we will never see any of the real Margarito, other than Mosley, Garcia, Pacquiao, Cotto II, which still wouldn't be enough to show that Margarito is a bum and has been a bum all along. Epic chin, don't get me wrong. Loading gloves can't help your chin and he's got one of the recent best, but my god, this guy cannot be regarded as one of the best or even better fighters over the past ten or five years.
He loaded his gloves and he isn't a great person if you want to wipe away all he did before that your free too, but Margarito was never a bum he's a relentless pressure fighter with a good inside game and a great chin and of course and he would wreck Rubio. He isn't regarded as one of the best fighters of the past 5-10 years by anyone.
The problem is nobody knows how many fights Margo had loaded gloves. I know damn well he just didnn't decide to start loading his gloves in the Mosley fight.
It's fairly easy to tell watch his fight against Lujan were he legitimately punched the dudes ear off and then Golden Johnson and Cotto were he's somehow punching 3 times harder despite doing nothing different technique wise and not putting his body weight into punches any differently. I hate Cintron but he probably had loaded gloves in the rematch as well.
