Margarito the Mexican Pavlik

[Gonzalez_Boxing]

My 2 favorite fighters. I hope they never fight I wouldn't know who to root for.

It would play out like Pavlik vs. Zertuche. Only the ko would come quicker.

i wouldnt exactly call Pavlik a great boxer either. both are tough mother****ers that nobody wants to fight because they will hurt u... really badly! i agree though that margarito has the better chin although not a knock on pavlik. margarito might have the best chin in boxing

I don't think they are much alike at all, except that their mission is to sap the will out of their opponent and are both determined to do so.

Margarito is pure blood and guts, relentless, toughness, stamina, will and determination.

Pavlik is more of a sharpshooter, with basic fundamental boxing skills. He can war it up like he did with Miranda, but prefers to keep an opponent on the end of his punches.

Margarito likes pain, while Pavlik is evolving into a more defensive, safety first approach.

While Pavlik is more well rounded, Margarito excels so heavily at what he does, he does not need to be.

i would love to see Pavlik and Magarito go at it... or i wouldn't mind Tony vs Baldamir, 2 best chin in boxing today.

I agree fully and will only add Pavlik kicks like a mule where Margo dont have that kinda shock punching power .

imagine if these two were closer in weight classes...

now THAT would be a BRUTAL fight...

both have tough chins (the edge goes to margarito though); pack a serious punch and have no idea what a backwards step is...

it would be a honorary heavyweight fight of the modern era...

I'd pick Pavlik for sure. He's bigger, stronger, longer, And has more raw power. Don't forget Pavlik is a middleweight that could fight at lightheavyweight if he wanted to. I think there demeanor, and styles are similar, But ultimately Pavlik is just bigger. Also, no offense to Cotto, But if Pavlik landed the shots that Cotto did Tony might not be breathing right now, Or in a coma.
