only idiots will think that canelo beats margarito. there's a saying that says style makes fight.
Lol
canelo struggles vs boxers like trout and Floyd who fight in the opposite style of margs
Yet canelo looked like a million bucks vs angulo, Who is very similar to margs
So yeah styles make fights and so do weight divisions
Margs at 154 = hatton 147. Not very good..
So yeah styles make fights, and margs sucked vs top level guys and especially at 154
I think the overrating of Margarito comes from him Floyd not fighting him. Fact is Margarito was big, well conditioned, strong, great chin and also a strong will to win but everything else about him was pretty average or sub par. At the top level if he couldnt physically break you he has no way of winning, cause basically everyone is a faster, better boxer than him
This is a good post..
Margs is a monster welter but the facts are he is not that good at 154, he only crushed one top guy and never did it again before or after, is 1-4 at 154, and much like hatton was only effective at 140 but struggled at 147, that's exactly like margs being great at 147 but struggles to beat anyone at 154...
Margs couldn't walk done the ordinary danial santos, and he had 2 chances of it. I see no plausible facts to back up the claim that margs would run thru guys, let alone the top 154 guy... It is proven over his career that he struggles with any top boxer he faces and his record vs them is pretty horrible..
Canelo, Lara, angulo, Kirkland would all beat that dude up at 154
Margarito is a basically a better version of Angulo, he might have less power but he would throwing punches non-stop and chasing Canelo all around the ring. The pace would be too much for young Saul.
margo by tko in 10
Margaritos connect percentage would be in the lower 10s, Canelos in the high 50s.
Margaritos chin and Canelos stamina probably see him to the final bell.
Canelo would dismantle the Margarito who fought Santos, with the same gameplan he used against Angulo.
Speaking of which, that gameplan was pretty similar to what Cotto did in their rematch. Margarito couldnt do **** about it.
Margarito coming off a years layoff and brutal domination by Mosley would not be competitive.

This thread is crazy.... Margs couldn't walk down Daniel santos, yet he is going to walk down canelo...
Margs is getting very overrated, the dude never walked down a good opponent but cotto.. He didn't walk down Williams, santos twice, Shane, manny, clottey... Margs feasted on guys that weren't top level and prospects.. Yes margs was a monster at welter, but he doesn't bully really top level guys very often, with cotto being the only one... And margs doesn't possess the same physical advantages he had at welter if he was at 154..
Margs would walk into Canelo's bombs and most likely get stopped on cuts or ref stoppage..
No way is margs walking down and crushing canelo...
margarito's offense is nowhere near Canelo's weak stamina. i'd say margarito can easily walk all over canelo and wins a devastating ko.
canelo even struggle to beat a d-class opponent like miguel's brotha.
canelo is still a question mark for me the lara fight will be the deciding factor he might have dominated perro but what happened when he was hit a few times his face showed he doesn't like to get hit margarito will hit him over and over again
canelo.......maragarito has some success though, canelo has stamina issues and antonio is relentess, strong chinned, can punch when his feet are not set to cause the youngen some problems
Canelo pummels margs,,,
margs sucks at 154...
Margs was only good when he had a huge size advantage, and could breakdown welters, put him in with a legit 154 guy and he gets exposed bad
Canelo that fought Floyd versus Margarito that fought Pac. Who would win if they fight at the time Pac fought Margarito?
Poll cumming…
how about the Margarito with the loaded gloves? that would be a good one!
