    Neither is a "complete" fighter. Margarito is a bit closer to that than Pavlik, because he can mix up his punches, throw from different angles, go to the body as well as the head and his in-fighting is way better than Kelly's.

    Definately Margarito. Margo is more experienced and has fought against more styles than Pavlik. Despite the multitude of styles he's faced, Margo has never been blown out like Pavlik was. Sure, Hopkins is better than anyone Margo faced. However, he's damn near 44 and was as high as a 4-1 underdog in that fight. Once a fighter is able to limit that right hand, Pavlik has no plan B. Hopkins destroyed him and I thought Taylor beat him in their second fight by simply timing Pavlik's double jab, right hand combo and countering.

    Margarito is more aware of his limitations and is able to adjust accordingly during his fights. Margo's offense isn't as predictable, his chin is much better, and he actually works the body.

    Definately, good post. I don't think people realize just how many times Margarito has been completely tactically outgunned and still found ways to win. Outgunned by fighters far more mobile, quicker, ect. Watching Hopkins/Pavlik made me realize just how good Margarito is. It's remarkable when you look at what he has been able to do. And Margarito is slower than Pavlik and even more lumbering.

    Thanx Rafa.
    I forgot to add the experience factor, as BigReg said in his post.

    Margarito.:think After being outboxed for 6 rounds against a better boxer,:bbb Cotto, he adjusted and found a way to win:thumbsup . Pavlik did the same thing for the entire 12 rounds against B-Hop.:?

    He didn't adjust he was doing the same **** he was doing in round one it was just Cotto ran out of gas and was starting to take punishment and Margo was then able to finish him off. Margo is as one-dimensional as you can get. No shame in Pavlik being given a boxing lessson by an ATG fighting at a weight he had never been at before. Margo beat a smaller man who couldn't stand up to his attack for 12 rounds despite giving him a boxing lesson for the first half. Kelly is more complete easily. I actually can't believe this is even up for debate.

    :deal

    Marg was blessed with an ATG chin. You downgrade his chin to a normal level and he probably gets KOed by Cotto.

    ATG chin because he's facing guys he dwarfs in the ring. Let's see him take shots from guys his own size at 154 or 160 then we'll see how great it really is. BTW there are no big one shot KO guys at 147 at the moment guys with real power like Tito or Hearns for example.
