Margarito will not excel NORTH of 147

[SupremeElectron]

Margarito is a GREAT welterweight. His size, will and strength are his main advantages over most other welters. However, the few times Margarito has fought guys that are near his size he has looked very, very average.

Daniel Santos. Joshua Clottey. Paul Williams.

Those are all fighters that had GREAT success w/Margarito. Why? They are big, natural welters or jr. middleweights.

Margarito will continue to beatdown the smallish welters like cotto, judah, johnson, etc...

If Margarito ever leaves 147, I believe that will be the end of his days as a "great fighter".

Yeah 147 is his ticket, I don't think he does well at 154 and up.

Who the hell beats him at 154?? Santos? Maybe. Who else?

I don't believe anyone is calling him a great fighter, just a hardnosed, stubborn welter who will take your best shot to give his.

Of course he will not succeed at 154 or 160 becuase his style is to take 10 shots to the chin just to give his few shots.

He cannot take those big dogs shots like that for long so he has to take little guys shots like cotto.

He has no boxing skills just a strong chin.

So he eats 1 fish taco a day and some huevos rancheros just to make weight.

154 is still IMO one of the weaker weight classes.

sure there's Forest, DLH, Mora, Santos, Phillips, Spinks

but for the most part I think Margarito could hold his own as
the division isn't loaded with devastating punchers.

I think Oscar is the best puncher on that list, at 154 I give him a better chance against Margarito.

Co-sign.

And at 160...how many welterweights beat Pavlik or Abraham? Please.

Being a big puncher isn't the key to beating Margarito. Having bad stamina kinda hurts too.

It can go both ways,

Bigger guys hit harder and heavier and I dont know if he can take the same amount of damage that he did against cotto with a heavier stronger man.


I think Vernon Forrest can KO him. His fought Piccarillo who is an aggressive guyw ith more speed than Margarito and beat him pretty bad even though piccarillo kept coming.

I dont see Margarito moving up anymore in his career.
