Margarito vs Chavez Jr.

[Kagami Taiga]

How tall are Cintron, Williams, Clottey and Martinez? Would you consider them small welterweights when Margarito fought them?

Well out of that list the only ones he actually beat were Cintron and Martinez

Look his record at 154=ass,****,terrible....and this thread wants to ask how he does at 168=common sense he would ****ing get his ass handed to him


and out of that list he only beat mental case Cintron and green Martinez and Clottey who honestly never beat anyone worth mentioning

As a general rule a good 168 pounder will beat even a very good 147-154 pounder. Chavez is a much bigger fighter and you made an unfair match for Margarito. If they were both natural 168 pounders Margarito wins by ud.

...unless it's Maravilla. True, size always matters at the end if it's significantly different.

Margarito would get his ass handed to him,he can not beat bigger fighters..His entire career was built on walking down and wearing down smaller fighters...hell he sucked at 154 and you talking 168?

How does fighting guys at 147 mean that Margarito was fighting smaller fighters? As long as he made the weight limit, and doesn't rehydrate excessively, then it's fair game. Do you mean taller, yes he was taller, but not bigger in terms of weight. Margarito was a well conditioned athlete and did not rehydrate crazy amounts.

Guys like Chavez Jr, Broner, etc. are guys that shrink down and gain ridiculous amounts of weight the next day, in order to fight way smaller fighters.

I still contend Margarito beats Mayweather, bad stylistic matchup for Mayweather, back in the day. Height advantage, pressure, chin, heart, high output = Mayweather loss.
