View Full Version : Why do you guys like Margarito

He is a crowd pleaser and all but thats it. Everyone on here always brags on him and I always say that the guy is extremely overrated. Ive been saying this for the longest. When Floyd was at lightweight and was talking about fighting him, I told everyone that Floyd will kill him and everyone said that I was crazy and he would kill Floyd.

Everytime I see him fight, Im not impressed. Everyone was sweating him after 6heads but he looked like garbage to me. 6 heads was just shot. He was outboxing Margarito like crazy until he got hurt which wasnt hard to due at the time. This guy has no kind of skills and no defense. He just swings wild punches and can throw alot but he will never beat a top fighter. Everyone saw what I was trying to tell them when he fought Santos. Santos has no power and hurt him, and he was out boxing him. Then he looked like garbage tonight.

Do you guys still thing he would KO Floyd? I think Floyd would easily outclass him. He throws wide punches that a good boxer can easily defend and his defense stinks, not to mention that his chin is suspect. Alot of you were saying that he would beat Mayorga, Judah, and Mosley. All 3 of those guys would kill him.

I also have the same feelings about Cintron. You guys go crazy about him after every fight but Im not impressed. He looked like garbage against Reid and everyone came back here and was bragging on him. He almost got KO by a shot Reid. He also just swings wild punches and has no D. I dont know who would win when they fight but I will go with Cintron. Neither of them will beat any top fighter. Cintron is still young so he may can one day but no time soon

you just answered your own question. People like him because he makes good fights, has a ton of heart and can punch.

he's like mayorga but with a lil bit of style and boxing ability...the guy always get hit a lot in first few rounds then his stamina and chin keeps him in it,making fighting exciting and ultimtely ko'ing most of his opponents in late round- :D

Thats what everyone says but I dont see his boxing ability. He is always getting out boxed by people. The difference is that Mayorga has more power, is more explosive, and is much more ruthless

---true,but margarito is still exciting and delivers great fights and he does have some boxing skills...he always takes over after 4th rounds and starts to land at will the more rounds that pass...especially after 10round...because he fights the 10-12th rounds like he is in the 1st round,his stamina is great and has good power..anyway the Cintron/Margarito fight will answer a lot..if cintron doesnt take out margarito out early (way easier said then done) then it will be over because cintron stamina and chin will let him down after 5-6th round

I don't think Margarito would beat Judah or Mosley but he stll an upper level fighter. He knows how to win rounds and can box effectivly against any style, plus he one of the most entertaining fighters around I think is kinda hard not to like the guy

margito is top level no doubt
but he is not a boxer
hes a punching machine that knows how to land by creating openings by throwing so many punches
i was so mad
i was literally yellen at the TV
"why the fuk are you tryin to be a boxer?"
:mad:
but when he finally went back to his good ole style
i was happy
hes ten times more a threat then Mayo
Antonios got power in both hands and has a much greater variety of punches
Mayo has over rated power
both throw wild
both can take a punch
but margaritos shere activity and abilty to sustain it
makes him much more of a threat

Margarito might not be the most technically sound fighter in the world, but to a point thats what makes him exciting.

He has a good chin, Very good power, and stamina thats a throw back to the 15 round fighters. His style is exciting and is a dangerous guy to anyone he faces wether it be boxer or puncher. He is the kind of guy you could pound on for 11 rounds and he still in front of you swinging with full power in the 12th, and that power could very well be enough to put you to sleep. Add to that he brings no money or fame to the table it doesnt take much to see why the top guys around those weights stay away from him.

As far as saying Mayweather would kill him what exactly do you base that on?

Mayweather was hurt by chop chop, he could very well mess around and get caught by Margarito who could put him to sleep. Keep in mind Margarito could easily be a 154lber.

Yeah he could easily be a 154 pounder but he went there once and lost his very first fight which made him come straight back

You guys are missing the main point of my message and I guess its my fault for not asking the right question.

I know why you guys like him and I agree with that. I like to watch him fight too because he is very exciting. My real question is why do you think this guy is great and a elite fighter and dont try to say you dont think that because all of you before the Santos fight said he could beat Floyd, Zab, Mayorga, Mosley, Wright, and Spinks. I dont think he can beat any of them

He could beat Floyd, spinks, Mosley, and Mayorga. I dont know about wright. Dont get me wrong i dont think he is an Elite fighter yet.

But Floyd started as a SuperFeatherweight, he hasnt really been tested at 140. You know and i know and everyone knows Chop Chop never beat nobody of name. We are talking about a guy that is Physically bigger, stronger, more active, and probably more durable than any other fighter he has ever fought. Margarito would play the Numbers game and he is bound to land, I believe Margarito to be a bigger puncher than Chop chop who hurt Floyd. He could catch him and it could be over. (keep in mind im not saying this is what would happen... im saying this is what COULD happen)

Spinks doesnt respond well to pressure with the jab something Margarito does a lot and how Zab was able to land a clean shot on spinks that disoriented him and ultimately caused the stoppage. Putting pressure behind a the jab is what Margarito is all about, his power, and activity level would also be greater than Judah's.

Mosley has had a hard time against physically impossing fighter by the name of Winky Wright. Mosley doesnt always like to use the jab allowing Margarito to pull off a Vernon Forrest giving him trouble with his superior strength.

Mayorga is a wild swinger, and Margarito has shown on more than on occasion that if the opening is there straight down the middle he takes it. Thats how he lost to Trinidad... beautiful straight power punches.

He's BIG man! Well, he's tall. That should be a great weapon in his arsenal but he fights "small" too much. His biggest asset to me is related to his height and that's his reach. He used that especially well against numbnutz tonite in beating him to the punch.

And lesseee, how do I say this .... He beat a man's ear off tonite!

What's not to like?

I disagree with all of it by I respect your opinion and it might be true
