would margerito-oscar have turned out like oscar-vargas?an interesting comparison

This is really pointless. Oscar is so underrated nowadays on here its pitiful. Just look how easy Oscar disposed of Mayorga as compared to Mosley's struggle with him. I posted in a thread earlier that although Mosley might have beaten him twice, Oscar is much harder to beat then Mosley is. The guy has an iron chin, a great jab, a devastating left hook and great combination punching. And contrary to popular belief, around here, he is a fighter first and foremost. He grew up fighting and is a seasoned veteran with tremendous skill and experience. Yes. This fight could definitely end like Hoya/Vargas did. Margo is a threat, but a guy with such weak defense fighting Oscar is a scary scary thing.

 

Ummmm, not even in the same league. Oscar wants absolutely nothing to do with Margarito after the beating he dished out to Cotto.

 

I have a higher regard for Margo than Vargas to be honest with you.
I dont think Margo would have folded late against Tito or Oscar either.

When Oscar fades late in the fight is where it would get dangerous for him, too bad we did not get to see this fight.

 

PRIME oscar disposes of margarito in 10 as does a prime TITO.

 

I would say yes to that same Oscar who fought Vargas but Oscar was younger then. I honestly can't say for one reason. His last two fights are no real indication as to how he would show against Margarito. The styles of Floyd and Forbes are so vastly different than Marg's its impossible to use them as blueprints. His job was too outbox two gifted boxers. He failed at Floyd (because of Roach imo) and he succeeded against Forbes. I think you have to see the Mayorga fight as more closely representing a fight with Margarito. But even then it's tricky becayse of Marg's better conditioning. But two similarities I see is Marg's openness to the left hook when trying to land his own punches and a preference for coming forward (which is not such a good thing when its the only way you know how to fight, esp. against a powerful counterpuncher).

 

Margarito is a far tougher proposition than Vargas. Vargas was always an overrated, slow, sitting duck fighter with a suspect chin. Margo is a wall of granite, rangier and more unrelenting than Vargas.

De La Hoya could outpoint Margo as he could stand tall with him and use distance to keep Margo at bay. He had the skills to do that, like he did with Javier Castiijo. Very unlikely De La Hoya stops him though. No chance in fact, whatever time in De La Hoya's career.

 

I wasn't insulting or disagreeing you. My post was in anticipation of the anti-Oscar diarhea that was surely to come from the haters on this forum :good

 

Hell know....even THAT version of DLH is long gone. And Margarito has better workrate and chin then Vargas. Tougher.

DLH can't keep a high, active rate and expect to have something in reserve. Hell, even when he's NOT throwing a lot he was tiring late. Even his most homosexual fanboys would admit that.

 

Prime for Prime Oscar beats him up real bad, Oscar has a rock chin and was an awesome boxer with serious pop. Probably a corner stoppage or on cuts.
