The Marg that showed up against Cotto vs. Pac that showed up against DLH. who wins?

Although I do believe Margarito cheated versus Cotto, here's how I see it: Margarito of July 2008 vs. Pacquiao of December 2008 We saw how easily Cotto was outboxing Marg clearly for the first 6 rounds. What Cotto did to Marg in those early rounds, I am 110% sure Pacquiao can do it much better. In my opinion, Pac has faster/better footwork than Cotto, much better endurance and handspeed. In the boxing skills department, Cotto was always good at that, but Pacquiao seems to be improving on his boxing skills as each fight comes, so I would say they are about even in that department. And let's not forget that he is a southpaw. Most orthodox fighters are automatically at a disadvantage against southpaws for obvious angle differences and rarity of southpaws. Sure, Cotto tagged Marg plenty of times while outboxing him, but Pacquiao would tag him MUCH more. I also think there is a chance of Pac hurting Marg because of the awkward angles, despite Marg's chin at the time. After all, it's the punches you don't see coming that hurt. I see Pacquiao clearly outboxing Margarito, taking 10 rounds out of 12 clearly, but with 2 rounds being quite close. I don't see any knockdowns. I see a great war. Pac UD.

that margarito had a chin of granite. he didnt even make an attempt to get out of the way of cotto's best punches and he punched like his gloves were loaded. he's never hit like that again he would KILL pacman at his first fight at WW styles schmyles that guy was a killer and oscar was dead from coming down in weight and at the end of his career the Margarito that beat cotto will be nowhere near the ring in texas on the 13th

Im talking about the manner of how Marg fights. If he comes with the same intensity, etc etc everything like he did when he was up against Cotto he's going to beat Pac with plaster or not. Marg throws AMAZING uppercuts and comes forward all the time. He doesn't play that jab jab stick and move ****. He's a puncher with a good chin. Being knocked out by SSM doesn't mean you have a glass jaw now because SSM at heart is a slugger. Whether or not he was using plaster against Cotto is a totally diff conversation so get that through your head already. yeah i totally agree with you man the shane mosley fight was like his worst performance ever i dont see any sign of a repeat of that night ever coming back for antonio margarito.I actually think sugare shane mosley is way more rugged than manny pacquiao sooner or later fighting all these naturally bigger and stronger fighters is going to back fire against the pacman.

So getting hit with plaster shots got nothing to do with Cotto Fading in a fight he was winning and landing punches at will. Im talking about the manner of how Marg fights.

WAR MARGARITO

If Marg fights the way he did ( plaster or no plaster) the night he beat Cotto then well Marg wins imo. So getting hit with plaster shots got nothing to do with Cotto Fading in a fight he was winning and landing punches at will.
