Who can hurt Margarito at 147??

[El Dominicano]

Tommy Hearns

Hearns and Tito. Who else?? You think??

[rambov]

Magarito can be hurt but ONLY with timed punches i.e. things have to be working in sequence. Like a check hook. It has to be something he doesen't see coming. There are no fighters today at 147 who can beat an applied Magarito

[MaFu MoFo]

I honestly don't think any welter out there can hurt Margarito. There may be a couple who can beat him though.

Right now, now one.

Co-signed. I was very impressed on how Tony assimilated all the power devastating shots in the first half of the fight. Too bad for Cotto, he did not throwed them to the body...

I think DLH could.... guy might be a ***** when it comes to fighting people but he has very good power and accuracy.

[FIGHTING_FLIP]

de la hoya and in the future a combination of bertos speed and power might be able to buzz him a bit

[Spiegelo]

Stevie Forbes would knock that fool out. Also, Vargas would destroy Margarito's chin. Not Vargas at 147 though, but rather Vargas in his current state at 327 lbs. Also me, I would kick his ass.

has anyone link for this fight?

[fallenJWW]

no one

he took cotto's best shots and didnt even seem phased by them

[Clegg]

Yes, to an extent.

Margarito is human. If he didn't feel pain and couldn't be KO'd, he would just go all out for the KO every round. He has to fight the same way that everyone else does; within his limits. He applies pressure, but not to the point of going kamikaze.

Don't underestimate how constant pressure from your opponent can stop you find your range and landing your shots as you would do in a fight that you controlled easily. Margarito is very good at stopping his opponent from taking their time and throwing their shots perfectly. That's not to say that he hasn't taken flush shots from Cintron, Cotto etc.

No doubt Margarito has an excellent chin, one of the best in the sport, but even he cannot afford to do what Campbell tried against Peden. At least not too much...

[black.ink]

Williams would beat him again.

Well done Margarito. You fought superbly.
