    Before the Hearns fight took his edge and confidence...Cuevas was every bit the destroyer of such dominant fighters like Trinidad. Cuevas had a good chin and could take as many shots it took to getcha out of there...people sell him short based on the way his career went on a downward spiral after Hearns. He won a title at 18 and defended what like 12 times and only one fighter lasted the distance. I think Cuevas is one of the few who could have actually stunned of dropped Margo. He was a great bodypuncher to. He'd have got Margo's respect. I think Cuevas couldve beaten him but it was a 50%.

    Keep in mind Cuevas would likely have badly knocked Cotto out inside 3 or 4.MIguel has neither the skills nor the chin to hold him off for any length of time.

    had it been him fighting the other night, no doubt there would be at least as much people creaming their pants over him as there is with Margarito right now.

    As easy as Margarito is to hit. Even he couldn't withstand Cuevas' hammer blows for too long. Cuevas KO 5.
