    I've always thought that what made Antonio a good fighter was his stamina and chin. After last night I question both and also wonder how much power he really has? He's a very limited but tough fighter.

    Be more thoughtful about what you say.

    Whoever thought Margarito had ANY skill is an idiot.

    Exactly, Margarito's chin is still top notch.......but any man that takes bomb after bomb the way Margarito was taking them last night, is going to go......


    Example.....Mike Tyson's chin is as tough and solid as they come.....but he got knocked out by fighters like Douglas, Holyfield, and Lewis......in each of those fights taking an insane amount of flush full leveraged bombs......

    What do Tyson and Margarito have in common with each other that resulted in them getting KO'd in these fights.....

    .....let me tell you......they each fought every step of the way to win.
    Even though both were overmatched with skill and other attributes, they never stopped every step of the way to try to turn and tide and fight their fight.......
    They both risked it by fighting to win, when lesser fighters (who Bozo's here on ESB would call better fighters because they fought survival fights)
    would have went into a shell and fought to cross the finish line.

    Although Margarito was dominantly stopped vs Mosely, he can hold his head up high and say he went out on his shield.....which is alot more I can say of certain fighters who fight just to not get KO's and cross the finish line!

    Open you eyes folks and get educated........

    ......another one to tell mommy and daddy!!!!:deal

    Hold his head up high after being caught trying to cheat?:patsch He employed the only tactic he has...plodding forward taking punches trying to wear the guy down. Only those arm punches weren't as effective without breeze blocks strapped to the end of them.

    Why does the poll have no "both are overrated" option?

    I'm not voting as long as that option is not there.

    Margo's skill hands down. I've told people fo years that this guy was limited and flawed but they wouldn't listen. Margo can only fight one way he has no plan B and he's really not even that good fighting that one way. All you need to do is two things to beat Margo be able to stand up to his attack beat him to the punch or counter him like Shane or be able to stand up to his attack and outwork him like Williams did. Just like Shane said last night there's nothing complicated about his approach.

    Shane also said last night that Margo is tough relentless, and that just not anybody can beat him........as well he said, "it takes a special fighter to beat him!"

    .....all things that I'm sure were filtered by your eardrum.......


    Tell me PimpC, who was it that beat Antonio Margarito?

    A. Shane Mosely

    or

    B. Floyd Mayweather
