26 to 10 that Margarito is better now than Ortiz, which explains why Mayweather refused to fight him and settled for Ortiz.
this poll just proves how many on here don't know **** about boxing. Victor would beat him.
I think Victor would of had a tough night but I don't think Margo would have won. Victor has enough stamina and skill to make Margo look as bad as Cotto made him look before he was stopped. difference here is i think Victor would survive with more rounds under his belt.
Seems he's not so good without his plaster hands. I'd give any decent WW a shot against him.
Lol a mediocre journeyman went the distance with the current Margarito.
He is being overrated by Pac fans/Floyd haters to discredit Ortiz. Margarito is nothing special, coincidentally all 3 fights post-illegal hand incident he's looked like shit.
You mean the one who has looked unimpressive in his last 3 fights?
The one who went to a decision with a journeyman and looked like shit?
The one who got beaten to a pulp by a former Flyweight?
The one who was favored to stop Mosley but instead got dominated and stopped by an old Shane?
Is this the Margarito we're talking about?
Sure what ever helps all of you sleep at night.
No he hasn't done anything post plaster... that's the real problem.
Oh come on guys, give Tony a chance, I always think Tony put on the plaster just for the Mosley fight just to compensate for him not losing his weight the right way and was dehydrated in the process.. And after that lose, he was forced to take a 1 year or so vacation, then fought just 1 tune up before fighting an elite fighter in Manny the next year, Tony was not given a chance to loosen up first before fighting Manny so how can he look great with that....
Of course it has to do with version. Styles don't mean anything if one guy is prime while the other is done.
And, Ortiz now beats Marg now or that version that fought Pac.
However, a prime Marg would ruin Ortiz. Any version of Ortiz.
How is margarito done when he almost dropped Pac and inflicted the most damaged to Pac since the marquez fight? I think he landed 200+ shots on Pac.
It's funny how ppl say that after Mosely KO'd Margs he was suddenly shot to ****... I mean come on don't buy into the mayweather rhetoric, fighters have losses and they come back. Considering Margarito can still fight a pressure fight, his stamina is still as good as ever, he'd sure give Vic a lot of trouble. The only factor would be the previous damage to his eye and how well that would hold up.

Say what you say about Tony, but there are certain fighters that can withstand pressure fighters and there are fighters that cannot, and Victor doesn't have the right composure for a superior pressure fighters such as Tony... Maidana made him quit, imagine what Tony will do to him... Margarito still fights the same way as when he fought and KO'd bigger guys such as Sergio Martinez and Cintron...

The Margarito that fought Pac was not the same Margarito the beat Cotto.
The Margarito that beat Cotto would beat Pac IMO.
I also would love to see a mosley/Margarito rematch, this time with a ref that doesnt allow an average of 8 clinches a round. Even if Margarito loses, itd be entertaining.
If Ortiz fought Marg, would Marg be considered better competition than Berto?
I honestly don't get why people say Cotto-Margarito would be a close 50-50 fight but then go on to say that Ortiz would beat Margarito.
I have Cotto beating Ortiz if they ever met, and that's cuz Cotto hits as hard as Maidana only about twice as accurate as both him and Berto put together.
Cotto also has better straight up boxing skills than Ortiz IMO.
Worst possible style for Vic
Miadana is 1/10 th as relentless as Marg and also half his size. And Vic got completely discouraged after knocking him down 3 times
Hit the nail on the head, marg at 150 or w/e he fought pac at. Would stalk and smash ortiz , by the 10th round.
margs is completely shot to shiit, i don't understand how people still think he can win a fight against a moving opponent. ortiz would pop his other eye, no question about it.
