    Well, lets see here:

    {(Quitana - Williams) / [(Maragarito - Cotto) X (Cotto - Quitana)]} X 3/2 = Williams is better that Margarito, unless I forgot to carry the 2

    really dumb post Williams is better already proved it which is why Margo is ducking. Funny how Margo fans call out PBF for ducking (yeah right) but there guy is running from his biggest challenge and trying to fight PBF left overs aka la hoya to get paid like everyone else but its not ducking unless its PBF. lmao Williams beat the guy and its still a debate just crazy.:hi:

    Definately Margarito. You can't be that slow and achieve a fraction of what he's accomplished and not be extremely talented. Head to head he was owning Paul Williams late in that fight, tactically. And this is with significant disadvantages in handspeed, footspeed, height, reach, and alleged boxing technique.

    So the better fighter is the winner between the 2. WTF?:patsch

    Who's the better fighter, Quintana or Williams?? Anyone can get a 1 rd KO...but it takes skill to outbox someone over 12.

    He got owned in the beginning, though, and subsequently lost the fight.

    Nah, he didn't get owned in the beginning. He got flurried with a constant series of amateur style punches that were mostly blocked and deflected. Williams was given credit for those rounds on the basis of activity. Margarito plainly outlanded Williams from the 5th round onward up until the 12th round.

    I think Marg. is better. Although he lost to Williams, Marg. was coming on late in the fight. When they fight again Marg. will start off faster and pull out a UD. Additionally, Marg.'s more fun to watch.

    Margarito might have lost against Williams, but he's also faced a higher level of opposition throughout his career and imo fared better against them than Williams would have. I'd like to see PW against Santos and Cotto, see how he fares.

    Margo might have just had his one-off against Wiliams, the same way Williams likely had a one-off when he lost to Quintana.
