Do you agree with Freddie Roach when he said Margarito will never be a threat again?

He'll be a major threat to journeyman.....thats about it.

Due to the extended rounds of beating he had to take from PAC. Thoughts... I think he will be, as he was always intended to be at that skill level, a formidable gatekeeper.

Imagine Cotto, Floyd or even Pac with that with that kind of chin. I voted unsure Read the whole post. I think he should fight clottey in a rematch fight... Good fight for both... Winnable for both. I think margarito can still be a threat.. But not to the elite fighters IMO...

He hasn't been a threat since he lost his loaded gloves. Pile on two beatings from Mosley and Pac, and I think he's done. He's incredibly limited. The only thing he has is the ability to take a beating.

SSM didnt knock Margarito out though, the ref stepped in. But i seriously dont think Margaritos mind was in the right place when he fought SSM. He will still be able to take punches thats for sure.

he still has the style to beat cotto

Dude stopped being a threat after the Cotto fight, 17 year veteran who has used his face as defense the whole time. Roberto Garcia even took his family to Chuckecheese right after the fight.

Well to be honest once he got caught with his handwraps and Mosley cracked his chin I didn't think he'd be a threat again. The one thing he had was a great chin and Mosley seriously cracked that. Now with the handwrap thing coming out you have to wonder how much "real" power he has to stop his opponents. I approve this message,roughly around the time Mosley obliterated Margarito I knew his days of being a threat was done!!Matter of fact Freddy Roach said so on 24/7,he said he knew Manny ko's him because he seen his last 2 fights!!That's the whole reason in accepting this fight,no??:dunno:

We really can't be sure how much damage that particular fight will have on Margarito. That said, I lean more towards, no. I don't agree with him. Put Margarito against anyone he's stronger than that isn't as fast and tough as Pacquiao and he will demolish them. Any fighter would have folded to the prssure Margarito was bringing combined with the 6th round body shots and Marg landing 30+ punches in the 7th and 8th rounds. People were blind to this because body shots go over their head, but they were there and landed. And if Margarito is matched right, he will still be getting KO's in the future.

IMO, he stopped being a threat after being exposed vs Mosley

we thought he was shot after the mosley bout. but he's still got that come forward mentality, still has the chin. His power isn't the same, so I'm not sure if he could up in higher weight classes and make some noise. I think he could probably beat berto; and I wouldn't mind seeing him fight cotto cintron, williams or martinez again.

Getting knocked out, looking like **** in the "comeback fight" + a long layoff and fighting at a catchweight... No, he was never a threat to begin with. Another hype-job by Top Rank. When Pacquiao's next opponent was announced as Margarito people said Margarito didn't have a chance and that he didn't even deserve it. But suddenly everyone is acting surprised that Pacquiao dominated him.

Am sure he would still be a threat, He just cant hang with most fighters who bring speed with their game. dude the guy doesn't cover his face he takes everything that's the only way he fights. He only covers his body. I have seen mediocre fighters landing serious punches to his face. He is a ****ing mutant when it comes to the chin dept.

Anyone who has a bit of boxing training knows how much energy moving and dodging punches consumes in a boxer. Margarito does non of that all his energy goes in throwing punches, that is the reason he throws a lot of them. so Margie without a chin people would have never heard of him. Consider him with a normal chin.

Who would Margarito be without a chin? I Mean he trains hard to throws a lot of punches he has not Technic whatsoever. He covers his body and that is it, he doesn't waste energy(which consumes A LOT OF ENERGY) moving or trying to dodge. All because he could take a lot of Punches. Marg was more than chin to me. His heart and stamina is unbelievable. Got some pop too in those punches. Imagine Cotto, Floyd or even Pac with that with that kind of chin. I voted unsure Read the whole post.

I’ll reserve my judgment when Margarito gets in the ring again, then we will know how much of a threat he is. The punishment this man took were career ending to say the least and the verdict is out if his fighting faculties are still up to par pre-Mosley/Pac.
