Nah....Martinez doesn't punch hard enough to keep Margarito off him! I can see SGM maybe outpointing AM but would'nt bet on it!
People call him a bum, because seriously without plaster in his gloves what would he be? He's got decent power with plaster, without that he's got little power. All he has is a chin and stamina. The guy wouldn't last a fight with any A level fighters he's fought, he's a bum, a cheating little shitty ***** peice of **** bum bum.
He hurt Williams, which Margarito himself couldn't do. Mosley didn't stop Margarito with a single punch anyway - it was an accumulation of crisp, accurate blows (something Martinez specializes in).
margo basically still fights the same way, but the iron chin and relentless pressure is enough to psyche any fighter out. the big difference then and now martinez is a much different fighter today in every way. the guy is a speedster slickster whose ko % is very deceiving. people might criticize williams for a weak defense but only martinez had been able to drop him or land that many bombs on him. as great a puncher martinez is, he is more of a boxer and i think he doesn't know how to finish a fighter. still, i think he would win a clear UD over margo at this point.
