Tszyu vs Margarito at 147?

DLT21y ago

Who wins? I got alot of you with this one since most of you love both of these guys. I have always said that I think Margarito is tremendously overrated but I think Tszyu looks great agaisnt slick southpaws but he has trouble with a normar right hander. He dominated Tackie but he never came close to hurting him and Urkal took him the distance in a close fight so I think Margarito at 147 could take his punch. Add to that Tszyu will finally be fighting someone bigger and probally stronger then him at a weight he has never been at and he wont have a weight advantage like normaly. I dont know who wins. Tszyu got lit up by Phillips and I could see Margarito doing the same but I think Margarito is overrated so I dont know

Well, probably Tszyu by decesion. It's really hard to choose, Margarito easily makes 147 but we all know he is a natural 154-160. Tszyu also is getting old at 36, so I don't know. I don't think this fight will ever happen btw because Margarito is not a big money name, and Tszyu only said he wants big money fights.

If Tszyu comes back and looks good at 147 then I would go with Tszyu. A prime Tszyu would pick Margarito apart. Margarito would have his moments but the overall skill level and class will be in Tszyu's favor.

i like Tszyu, but i think he's too small for Margarito's power @147, Tszyu has the tendency to just stand in front of his opponent, stalking...just perfect for Tony's style (tho he's a bit slow IMO).

I would pick Margarito. The fight with Hatton revealed a lot of flaws in Tszyu's style. Kostya isn't getting any younger, and I feel that this fight would be similar to the Hatton fight.

tszyu is a good fighter..but not a great 1..his movements are pretty basic (he trys to load with the right the whole fight) margarito is too big too strong..only the great ROY JONES JR can constitely beat bigger fighters time after time she like did @ 175

I think Margarito, Tszy might be to small to step up to 147, its not alot of weight but Margarito is a solid 147 and has proven that he can take a punch.
