    Brawlers are underrated

    brawlers warriors power punchers
    guys like margarito pacquiao or cotto and many more always get underrated by ignorant people calling them one dimensional thinking they aint got skill and thats why they go forward but the fact is brawlers brawl because they love to not because is the only thing they can do
    for example cotto outboxed mosley
    and pacman outboxed mab
    de leon outboxed penalosa etc

    Judging by posts on this forum I'd say boxers are more underrated. Ive never seen a post on here putting down brawlers in fact its quite the opposite. People here seem to love them. Its the boxers i see having a hard time with all the "running" posts etc.

          Since when is Margarito not one-dimensional? Margarito makes Pacman look like he had the ability to adapt and the skills of Roberto Duran

              And in which fight was that? The one where is opponent was the one doing the throwing and landing?...And please dont try insulting our intelligence by including Cotto in your brawler's list.

              Brawlers dont brawl because they want to but because they're limited fighter who have no option or skill but to brawl like a street fighter but i still appreciate them for what they are.

                  im not trying to bs u its true and most ppl were calling cotto a one dimensional brawler BEFORE his fight with mosley and how he was gonna get outboxed and what not
                  its actually more punches thrown in a fight ever


                  Margarito set the all-time (for all weight classes) CompuBox record for most total punches thrown in a fight, 1,675 (140 per round), in his decision win over Joshua Clottey in December. He broke Zack Padilla's thirteen year old record of 1,596 total punches thrown, in his decision win over Ray Oliveira in December of '93. Tony also threw a welterweight record 197 punches in round five of the Clottey fight, 15 more than he threw in round eleven. He threw 146 or more punches in seven of twelve rounds. All that leather thrown with an injured wrist that was damaged from the fifth round on. He didn't just throw vs. Clottey, he landed as well- 337 total punches, to 207 for Clottey, who landed 47% of his power shots. Clottey actually outlanded Margarito in power shots in rounds two thru four before injuring his left hand in that fourth round. The counter-punching Clottey averaged just 38 total punches thrown per round for the fight and just 28 per round over the last four rounds. Not the formula to defeat the whirlwind Margarito- unless you possess one punch ko power.
