Will Margarito ever Challenge King Arthur or Pavlik?

[AntonTheMeh]

No way he beats sturm

Strum is a great technical fighter with one of the best jabs in boxing...he is also bigger and stronger than Margarito.

Sturm by wide UD

sturm got koe'd by an old ass castillejo.

****** ****in thread.... I cant believe there are peaple like this in here

On the contrary jdubb! Its a realistic question and I can't see why he shouldn't try to take a belt from one of the softer champions in the divisions above. Thats what every other champion does now a days! Why not? Stamina and Chin will take you pretty far until you meet power and then have to buy some defense. If Margie makes that adjustment then he is a great fighter in my eyes! I don't see it happening but I have been incorrect ONCE in my lifetime!

where would you rank Margaritos skills?

saying if he didn't have that iron chin where would he be now?

Margarito dosen't have much skill, he's slow and throws wide looping punches that usually miss the target.

He wins fights because of his size advantage, iron chin and workrate

If he didn't have an iron chin he would've gotten KO'd by Cotto for sure

lets see

All Margarito has going for him is his size, High workrate, and chin.

NO defense
NO footwork
NO Speed
NO other game plans just charge forward
Mediocre Power

He loses by KO to guys like Kelly pavlik or even Edison Miranda

I understand that but hes just saying this out of hate'rd toward margarito. just becuase pac man went from 108-135.... if he explained himself the way you just did i would take it more serious.

Absolutely. I can understand people wanting to see Margarito unify against Williams or Clottey, but they just want him to move up so they can see him lose. The guy is a welterweight. Learn to live with it.

no in truth that is what they do to Pacquiao every time pacman wins they try to discredit his win and look for a fighter who they want to beat him so he can lose...then when he beats that guy they find another excuse and another foe the cycle goes on...they should just come out and say they cannot stand an asian being able to box and end all the **** and come out and be honest.

Margarito said he is being avoided at 147 and then why not just go to 154? and fight there or 160? he def has the size to contend there.

This isn't about Pacquiao. He has had a tremendous career and gets (and deserves) a lot of credit. He has made enough money that he can afford to turn down the biggest payday of his life.

Margarito used to complain that he was avoided. You can see the gaps in activity in his career. I'm guessing he is pretty happy now. He just won the biggest fight of his life and is the welterweight champion. Unless he gets an incredible offer, moving up makes no sense except to those who want to see him get beat. You're just seeing this through your own eyes and not very realistically.

well if they are avoiding you then move up in weight!
especially for a challenge...pacman went to 126 and 130 to fight legends in marco,jmm and morales.

Margarito could go to 154 and fight those champs there if these guy sat 147 dont want to fight him.

problem solve.

Even oscar went up from 130 to 160 to fight hopkins...it is easier for margarito to go to 160 then oscar cause he is naturally bigger.

For the money De La Hoya made for fighting Hopkins, Margarito would move up to 160 in a ****ing minute. You make it sound like Oscar did it because he is a great sportsman or some bull****. The only difference is that Margarito wouldn't roll over as easily.
