Marco Antonio Rubio vs Antonio Margarito

I wanna see this fight

 

So punching a guy's ear off automatically makes one guilty of loading your gloves? atsch I do hope you know that the human ear is mostly made of cartilege protected by thin skin. Whether you get punched by a loaded glove or not, it won't take much to bust that thin skin. Did you see Mikey Garcia and that Milliard dude or whatever his name is? Milliard's ear was ready to come off. It was flapping around and looked liked it had gotten detached although the skin hadn't broken yet. Anyone else see that?

How do you know he was punching three times harder? So now you are able to guage how hard a guy punches by watching him on t.v.?

Golden Johnson was a blown up welter when he faced Margarito. Johnson was brought in to give Margarito a workout and nothing more. Margarito had just lost to Williams and was being brought back by his promoter to look good. Arum's matchmaker knew who they were choosing, and it wasn't going to be someone who would obliterate one of their cash cows. Anyhow, according to some ESB "experts", plaster needs time to harden. So according to that logic, Margarito must have used the fast drying mix since he knocked out Johnson in one round. atsch

Cintron was also quoted as saying that Margarito was not that big of a puncher, and that he just got caught.

Look, whether Margarito knew or not, he disgraced himself and I would like to think that he lost a lot of fans. You may have a strong opinion on whether he was loading or not, but to say that "you know" for sure or you are 100% positive that he was loading makes one sound ignorant. If you have followed Margarito's career you could see that there are other factors that one can look at to reach a reasonable conclusion on whether he was loading or not such as:

1. Although not known as a devastating puncher, he did have KO power. See Alfred Ankamah (early in his career), and Andrew "Six Heads" Lewis (later in his career). Both were caught with good punches.

2. Most of his stoppages were the result of relentless pressure and accumulation of punches. See Antonio Diaz, Cotto, Cintron, and others.

3. Margarito and his corner sure fooled a lot of veteran trainers and commissions if he was loading throughout his career. I'm sure that even in the early stages of a boxer's career, someone from the opposing camp is watching the opponent wrap his hands. Look at his opponents in the later stages of his career. He was fighting guys with veteran trainers who weren't noobs and should have know WTF they were doing.

4. If the CA commission had found plaster of paris on his wraps, I would think that this would have gone to a criminal court. The only thing they found was old pads with traces of some ingredients for plaster of paris, which others have also claimed that these same ingredients are found in common hand lotions.

 

147 is clearly his best weight. He got his ass whipped by Daniel Santos at 154. At 160, I don't see him doing too much. I think Lemeiux would **** him up if they met at MW.

 

Rubio.

Margarito aint **** at 160 he wasnt **** at 154 either getting stopped by Daniel Santos.

Margaritos whole succees was based on being bigger man vs they guys he fought at 147 where he could wear them down with his relentless pressure.

Margarito would get manhandled by pretty much every decent middleweights there is today.

 

If Margo can take Rubio's power, he wins. But let us not forget he was wobbled a few times and busted up pretty badly against a guy who's realistically a Jr WW.

 

I can agree with this. Ricky Hatton also suffered from these problems. I foresee Clottey having the same issues now that he's moving up.

 

May I see your Poetic license please!
