Margarito will not excel NORTH of 147

[Chups]

How about 147.5?

[IMDAZED]

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.

So...you think Vernon Forrest can KO a solid chinned Margarito because he stopped a lifelong welter who sucks?

Margarito might be a 154 Mayorga for Forrest plus keep in mind Forrest couldn't kayo Baldy .. who is also known for having a very solid chin

just something to consider.

Marg beat the crap out of santos ...but they fought in puerco rico...and santos got a gift decision...marg will eventually move up and ko this fool...they need to fight in neutral ground...i don't see anyone beating marg up to 160 pounds...marg is the man and he is unstoppable

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

Sergio Mora takes Margo out!!

My question is since the concensus is he cant move up even one weight class, why does he deserve to be on a P4P list? That doesnt make any sense.

wait the p4p list is the best boxers irrespective of weight, why would moving up have anything to do with thAt

P4P was made to place Sugar Ray Robinsons place in the sport. P4P means, (regardless of weight) your skill set would be great in any given weight class. Just because the list has gone away from that in recent years doesnt change the fact that fighters like Margarito, Cotto, & Hatton should not be on that list. Yes P4P was based on a mythical stand point, with that being said if a fighter goes up in weight & gets rolled over, he by definition is not P4P worthy.

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".

do you not know margarito already fought one of the harder hitting 154 guys in santos and took all of santos best shots? Who would be a big threat to him at 154 dlh? Don't you dare say the new champ mora as Mora used to be nothing more but a sparring partner for margarito and would get hammered during some pretty competitive sparring and would get hammered in a real fight as well. There is no big threats really. You can make a decent case for Sergei Dzindziruk who destroyed Daniel Santos but eh you know! I think he'd be good at 154 but what you say is pointless since no one is at 154 worth fighting. If you havent heard the 147 division is smoking and lots of money is being made there.
