Margarito vs. Judah

[Matt Marvelous]

Hahaha..I don't know about Margarito hitting harder than Cotto.. I doubt that. When did Margie become Mike Tyson? I think Marg has been exposed. He is basura. Judah if smart, would win every ****in round.

And there's your problem.

And there's your problem.

Sad but true.

where did the idea that Margarito has so much power come from? he was hitting Williams flush and i didnt even see him really stunned, his KO ratio isnt amazing, did i miss something????

[Fox McCloud]

it would be a waste of time to put margarito in with judah. judah could not handle margaritos power. margarito punches harder than cotto and we saw what cotto did to him. judahs career will end the night he faces margarito. tell judah to beat someone and maybe tony will consider it.

Wow, you finally made an intelligent post. I agree 100% with this. I have lost all faith in Zab Judah now... I think the Baldomir loss really took it out of him, because he just ****ing gives up late in fights now. Margarito is probably stronger than Cotto, and he throws more punches, so it's not like Zab is going to do any better against him. Because he will still be getting hit hard, and Margarito will be winning the late rounds because his activity level is higher. And you can be DAMN sure that Margarito is not going to crumble when Judah throws his best at him. Margarito, easy.

Williams has a damn good chin, you say how many bombs Matthysse landed on him and it didn't phase him. You would think that someone who is that skinny wouldn't be able to take the **** people dishes out, but his pain threshold is high and his balance is really good too. Pretty incredible for a guy his size.

True, i did watch that fight, but I remember Matthysse at least stunning him and pushing him back at times. My thing is, Margarito has never knocked out anyone of significance, i guess people will say Cintron, yet everyone acts like all his wins come from knockout or something.

Don't know about outrageous power claims, but he hits hard. Williams admitted to being stunned by Margarito after the fight when Merchant put him under the spotlight. Paul has an excellent poker face, only his body language gives away when he's been hurt. Antonio's work downstairs also paid dividends, as the fight was seen to be on the table by the ringside judges going into the 12th despite him being outworked the entire fight. Many of his body shots had Williams initiate holding. He may not be a KO artist, but he can punch.

haha for real, i dont get how people just say things they wish were true like they were actual facts. all statistics, footage, everything would say Cotto is the harder hitter but oh well i guess some people live in fantasy land

[McNulty]

Judah's conditioning isn't really much of a factor anymore, he proved against Cotto that he could go the distance with a tough, hungry heavy hitter. Nobody could rightfully question his heart at this stage in the game.

Heart and conditioning are two different things IMO.

I disagree...Judah is still a 6-8 round fighter. He was a heavy bag w/legs that night. He didnt throw anything really for several rounds.
