But I never seen anyones face get damaged like Margarito's eyes were swollen shut after he had beaten Cotto. Both guys looked battered at the end of the fight. Has anyone else ever seen Margarito's face look like that?
Just because Cotto might have Ko'd Jesse Feliciano doesn't mean he's a harder puncher. Means he's a more skilled fighter. I believe Marg, there's no reason for him to lie. I think Cotto hit him more, because Cotto is one hell of a fighter, much better than Cintron.
If Cintron had Cotto's skill with his power, it would have been a much different fight.
How did you like my prediction buddy? I was completely right.
Mosley by decision, or late stoppage if he puts a beating on Margs face. Marg blocks punches with his face, and sooner or later the ref will step in and say no more punishment to Margs face.
:boxing::boxing::boxing: I love you mosley!!!
Just cos his face was busted up doesnt mean Cotto is that hard a puncher. Cotto was hitting him at will non-stop for 6 rounds. And throughout the fight. Thats more to do with the fact that Margarito is easy to find.
Cotto isnt a hard puncher at welterweight. He'll break guys down but he aint gonna seperate them from their senses with one shot. Cintron can. I assume Daniel Santos hit harder too.
Cintron is probably the most powerful puncher he has faced in terms of raw, concussive power. He just isn't the most efficient at delivering it when there's incoming fire in return. Santos II was the largest opponent coming in at 170lbs that Tony has faced that could punch and was a southpaw to boot which made the fight difficult for Margarito with all the head clashes etc.
Cotto is no where near a one punch knockout type fighter at 147 but he can really dish out fast and accurate punishment in heaps. Margarito's eyes swelling was an indication that many punches landed to the face area. If you let a 15yrd old girl smack you 200 times in the face chances are your eyes would swell as well.
I got Margarito by late stoppage. But if Mosley pulls off the upset I wouldnt be that surprised. He always comes in to a fight in excellent shape dispite being a bit older now. He knows what he has to do to win. We'll see if he can last against the Tijuana Tornado....
I don't think Margarito was lying. Why would he? However, I'm sure Cotto is ONE of the hardest punchers he ever faced.
Margarito fought Alfredo Ankamah in 1996.
His fight against power puncher Ankamah was a really good scrap. He also rematched Perez later after becoming WBO champion for his first defense and put a bad beating on Danny sending him to the hospital for a stay.
Antwuan (Florida): Who's the biggest puncher you ever been in the ring with?
Antonio Margarito: I think the hardest punchers that I have fought are Alfredo Akama and Danny Perez.

Jesse Feliciano has a hell of a chin as well and is one tuff ass mother ****er too. I agree with most of the people here, Cintron hits x2 harder than Cotto anyday.
and he was fighting in honor of his baby that had recently passed.
Mike Tyson wasn't knocking out Feliciano that night.
LOL f ucking demented ass little kid :lol1:
I gave you red-k for being a flamer and not accepting other peoples opinions. Dipshit, loser ass keyboard warrior. And you're the only little kid here.

From what Margarito has said, Cintron punches like a bitch. Because the topic someone made a couple of days ago, mentioned 2 fighters I've never heard of and Margarito claimed they were the hardest punchers he has ever fought. So, he basically dissed both puerto-ricans power shots. Cintron never knocked out an elite, stopping Zab Judah is a better win then any win of Cintrons.

Cintron couldn't even kO jesse felicano, cotto would have ko'd jesse like in 3 rounds.

Whats your prediction for the fight?
Mosley by decision, or late stoppage if he puts a beating on Margs face. Marg blocks punches with his face, and sooner or later the ref will step in and say no more punishment to Margs face. That isn't normal to take a beating to the face like he did by cotto, that gives anyone brain damage. He isn't super-human, he is human like the rest of us.
Margarito does a good job protecting his body(probably because he has granite chin and doesn't mind getting punched in the face)... He is going to regret it when Mosley uses his face as a punching bag. Does Margarito like tasting his own blood for 12 rounds?
Proof or he never said it.
Someone posted the topic awhile back, and Margarito said 2 unknown fighters I've never heard of... He said they punched the hardest he has ever been hit. Yet, his face in the cotto fight says so much more. And also Margarito gets punched in the face way too much, Mosley is going to close up Margarito's eyes early in the fight.
