would margarito be #1 on the p4p right now if he had amateur experience??

[sentido común]

antonio margarito basically had no amateur experience and turned pro at 15. with his god given talent he has been able to become the most feared man in the welterweight division with heavyweight like power and iron chin. but i feel inside that if margarito could take the time to learn to box better as an amateur that he would be undefeated right now and could beat any fighter in the world from 175 down.

hell no

Your amateur career doesn't determine what your pro career will inevitably be. Once you step in the pro ranks, its a whole different ball game.

and dude...175 and down? Wow...

No. You gotta beat all the best fighters at your weight in the pros to be the sports top fighter. An amateur background helps a fighter but it ain't the be all end all.

Amateur experience contributes A LOT to a fighters PRO career and what it will be.. It's no coensidence that the best had long extensive amateur background!

Anyway, In Tony's case I dont think it would have made a difference but then what if is an unsure question and you will never know.

Well to be fair he probably wouldn't have those 3 early losses(by the time he hit 18) if he had a longer amateur career. The rest we can only speculate on but I don't see how having 100-150 amateur fights could have hurt him either.
