Cotto: "It Was Impossible To Hit Margarito's Body"

[IMDAZED]

"Margarito's defense is very underrated" Manny Steward

It really is, especially since he goes to war every single fight. In fact, his everything is underrated. He's known as a slugger/swarmer but Margarito is a solid BOXER. He jabs well, throws combinations well, works the body, is in excellent shape, can parry and is a thinker in there. What throws everyone off - and has them seeing different - is the fact that he's so SLOW. It makes him look a lil "slug"gish, especially since he throws so many punches at a time.

I have to admit Margarito does have an awkward style.

People who don't like him say he is unskilled but what they are seeing is his awkward way of throwing punches.
