Is Leo Santa Cruz the featherweight Margarito?

I hope he keeps taking on good fighters and doesn't go back to fighting cab drivers, break dancers and janitors! http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/01/16/24C36C0100000578-0-image-a-4_1421426747117.jpg http://theboxingtribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Gary_Russell_Jr..jpg http://espndeportes-assets.espn.go.com/2003/photos2014/1230/narvaez-nota3.jpg http://static.sportskeeda.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/uchiyama-1-1138586.jpg The criticism of the fans on Leo are so stupid and non-objective. A lot of fighters are worst than Leo and I don't see all the ******* crying in the same form. Cesar Seda Jr, Victor Terrazas, Abner Mares, Alberto Guevara and Cristian Mijares and fight in 3 ****in weight classes, are good opposition , better than the majority of these fighters.

He is Margarito 2.0. Does everything Tony does plus has faster hands and actually defends himself every now and then. Also he hasnt been caught with loaded gloves. he already got caught lol loaded with feathers Leo won a fan with this last fight. I criticized him for fighting tomato cans but he took on a decent challenge and dominated it. Its not like he is an A+ fighter but he leaves everything on that ring and that is respectable. I hope he keeps taking on good fighters and doesn't go back to fighting cab drivers, break dancers and janitors! yep, good sh1t leo! dont ever go back to sh1tty opponents, or i will lose faith in him too.

Ill be honest. I think leo is juicing and haymon is helping.. He looked more tired vs that last week replacement on the floyd undercard. Vs mares he got hit to the body threw 1000 punches and never looked tired for 10 seconds. Something looked fishy. lol he's thrown over 1000 punches before?

I like Leo but his chin is unknown

similarities: -tall and lanky -volume puncher -come forward nonstop pressure -margarito gets broken orbital bone from pac -lsc will get it from loma differences: -fists wrapped with plaster -fists wrapped with 32oz winning gloves

He's a Margo/Juan Diaz hybrid Nah, more like Zack Padilla

He's a Margo/Juan Diaz hybrid

I just find him extremely boring to watch, it's not about blocking shots with his face. It's because he can't punch. You know he's going to spend 12 rounds flailing. it was different at 118 when he was capable of breaking guys down and stopping them. That aspect is gone since he moved up and it hurts his excitability. We'll see just how good a fight he can get in with better opponents, though. Maybe he has more to show us.

Seriously, I got goosebumps watching Leo last night. It was beautiful watching perform at that level. He took the onslaught from Mares and smiled it off lmao, he took shots and kept going. It's incredible what better opponents bring out of fighters. However, he SHOWED more capabilities than Margarito has shown in his career like movement, range management and ring IQ amongst a few others. I'm a fan of Leo for life, so proud of him.

Santa cruz fights similar to tony and even looks a little like a young tony but margarito had that meanness/edge to him that I dont think santa cruz has. The killer instinct.

He is similar to Margarito in his ability to throw a huge number of good punches round after round. He has never been down and I've never seen him hurt much so he has a great chin like Margarito. I think his speed, defense and skill are superior to Margarito who was never hard to hit or considered a very good boxer. I think Margarito was a very good fighter but Santa Cruz is better and one of the best fighters in the world pound for pound.

Excitement is subjective. I don't have to agree with your definition of what's entertaining. Two guys sloppily shoe-shining punches with no power is boring to me. Maybe that sorta thing gets you wet. Horses for courses. Santa Cruz was the slightly more refined boxer last night but that was a chore to watch for me. It was a good scrap between to B class fighters and they put on a B class show. I'm okay with that.

Dude you're a little b1tch. cotto ass eater. Ill wreck you any day. "cotto is the truth, way better than de la hoya, did DLH ever win a title at MW? NO!" :lol1: That quote alone shows the kind of feral fan boy I'm dealing with. You're a fckng joke, son. E-threats... Ultimate tough guy lol.

Bardock is trash, but calling Leo boring is nothing but jealousy, hate or fear. I'm pretty sure it's all three with you lol. The guy is not boring, at least not last night. Excitement is subjective.

Don't you see the irony in that statement seeing that Santa Cruz just moved up having ducked Rigo, Frampton and Quigg at 122? I don't think Frampton's moving up yet even though he struggled to make weight last time. I didn't think Santa Cruz looked that good last night, he never does. He did enough to win. He has physical advantages over Frampton though which will be problematic. LOL I know he ducked them, but I'm man enough to admit it. Are you man enough to admit it if Frampton does the same? :lol1: He looked pretty good. He surprised me. Used his length really well when Mares came straight at him.

Don't despair it could happen. Frampton looked like dog sh1t in his last fight and Santa Cruz looked pretty good (boring :lol1:). I think Haymon might just feed Frampton to Santa Cruz after last night, the crowd was pretty decent. Frampton said hes moving up to 126 right? Ducking those Rigo and Quigg fights? :sombrero: Don't you see the irony in that statement seeing that Santa Cruz just moved up having ducked Rigo, Frampton and Quigg at 122?
