Who is a better boxer...Castillo or Margarito?

[krispy kreme]

It's hard to say I don't watch Castillo much, but in the ring it is still probably him. Margarito gets frustrated at times and just decides to walk into to punches so that he can get through to his opponents & he swings very wildly. But when he was sparring he looked much sharper & faster.

So I take it for Margs to have "skills" he has to be black and move pretty like Floyd correct?

There you go again. Nationalistic bias. Typical.

Boxing is usually referred to as outside fighting and he is correct that you normally enter with the jab. Set up your punches with the jab. Avoid getting hit and give angles to your opponent.

That is not what the neanderthal Margarito does. Sorry that you think that makes everyone a racist.

What are you getting at?

Marg doesn't box....or have those type of technical skills.

Ok next fact? Unless your just trying to degrade the money makin champion of the present.

Get to da money.

Apparently according to Margetards he does. He has tons of skill apparently.

Castillo...

Taking nothing away from Tony, he isn't really skilled. Tough as nails guy, great chin, good power, heart, and a lot of stamina is how he wins. He doesn't outskill guys, he out wills them.

Simple question. Who had more versatility, skill, could change ranges, footwork, better boxing IQ and overall skills? Margarito or Castillo? Vote.

Castillo

I will say this til the day I die. I have never seen anyone work inside with the mastery of JLC. Chavez is probably better at it but I have watched JLC closer and some of the things he did inside were awesome to watch. Like finshing with a strong jab. I am thoroughly convinced it was what made Chico have to reset so often during the rematch. He would find avenues to punch through jsut on where his opponents arms were positioned

smart footwork without being fast, accurate punches without being fast, ecnomical without being hesitant

good underappreciated fighter IMO

Castillo has a bit more skill and looks a more polished brawler but Margarito more than makes up for his boxing deficiencies with his size and work rate. Both can crack and they also have great chins.

Agreed on all points.

If you wan't to talk about typical dude, look at yourself. Making a poll to discredit a good fighter. I'm defending Margarito as a boxing fan, just like I did defending Mayweather when he retired & Cotto about quitting.

Ok I'll type it slow to where you can understand.

Margarito.
Neutralized.
Cotto's.
Best.
Weapon.

Body.

If being able to do that to someone really good as Cotto & you not realizing skills was involved, then something is wrong with you bro.

Basically.
