    they just think he's unstoppable as far as the cotto thing goes because margo and paul have similar fighting styles so they feel the outcome would go the same which it potentially could....

    and people just think that the rematch of marg & pw would just go the same way as the first one..

    in reality it doesnt matter... im just happy being able to witness a boxer who is willing to do what he plans to do.. hopefully he accomplishes these feats and become one of the all time greats...

    not very many of us have been privledged to that...

    I think that Williams is a much more talented fighter and can fight different styles, I think that the second Quintana fight showed us that were Paul let him walk to him. Margo cant do that he is chin down winging shots and thats all he has, winging shots, great chin and alot of heart. Williams actually has some skills

    Man! You use that smilie as often as people on this forum use the word overrated!

    They have both size advantage, both are pressure, come forward fighters, both have high workrate, both have excellent chins, both give many angles when they fire shots.

    What's so funny? :think

    some what....

    just in that their high activity fighters.. they both throw a rediculous amount of punches which is one thing they share.

    aside from that they are different

    What are their differences?

    Margarito's defense is his face.
    Margarito NEVER takes a step backwards.
    Margarito doesn't know what a jab is.
    Margarito always fights easy for the first half of the fight.

    only differences really are

    - speed
    - styles of punching/ punching technique
    - size

    those are the things that immediately jump out at me

    i can more or less agree with that.. i think pauls defense is a little leaky though but only because his arms are so long and hes fighting so much smaller guys... they will have an easier time squeezing between those small spots....

    against bigger fighters paul will probably have an easier time defending against punches

    Paul doesnt take punches to give punches.
    Paul doesnt use his face as his defense.
    Paul knows how & when to stepback.
    Paul doesnt take the first half of the fight easy.
    Paul knows what a jab is & how to use it.

    Saying Paul & fight alike is the same as saying Paul & Hatton fight alike.

    Agreed. BUT as I said:

    Both have size advantage over their opponents @ 147.
    Both are pressure, come forward fighters.
    Both have insane workrate.
    Both have excellent chins.
    Both give many angles when they fire shots.

    Plus, Paul's defense is not THAT greater than Margo's. Williams has average defense.

    Margarito doesn't give different angles when he fires shots. How can he give different angles when he fires shots if he doesn't even position himself in different angles. All his shots come the same way. He throws that long uppercut that always misses, that inside left uppercut that kills ya, and he throws wide left & right hooks. That doesnt sound like different angles. Punchers that can throw shots from different angles always have a decent jab.

    He also throws the straight right hand quite often. Also, he varies his body punching, something you missed as you mentioned only head shots.

    From what I know an "angle" means the direction a shot comes from. Margarito's punches ARE slow, but he DOES throw different kinds of punches.
