How much longer will Margarito be at the top?

[KJB]

His defense is underestimated..

Cotto himself said he couldn't hit him as much as he wanted to.

Couldnt hit his body as much as he wanted to. Cotto landed flush bomb after bomb to Margarito's head throughout the fight, As did Cintron as long as their fight lasted, as did Clottey before he faded etc. The guy has been a pro for 15 years already and has had that wide open style the whole time, like it or not Margarito only has maybe two years tops before he starts to slide noticeably.
All that said, if and when he and Williams ever meet again, he will be beaten. And I will give Cotto maybe a 20 percent chance in the rematch.

hes not at the top till he beats williams!

[AntonTheMeh]

it all depends.honestly, that dude is smarter than i thought he was.I've always seen him as a dumb fighter.when in reality he's just not athletic.he pretty much out smarted an overconfident cotto.with that said, i don't know, 2 3 fights? who knows.he was pretty swollen in the face in the post cotto fight.he looked his worst then I'd had ever seen him look.

untill the next time he gets put down, once he gets put down his chin will soften up, and marg without the granite chin has nothing but stamina, As far as his defense being under rated.....your right, people say he gets hit by every punch, when the truth is he might block 1 or 2 out of 10.

If his head continues to be his defense, then he won't last very long. Just thinking about him taking so much headshots makes me have a headache.

[C.Y.]

as long as he stays away from clottey and williams

Honestly i think he has a lot of years left in him. Obviously he started his pro-career at a real young age and has always fought an aggressive taxing style. But i think what wears out fighters most throught their careers are body shots and Margarito has always had a great body defense. Even though he loves to fight inside he always has been great at using his elbows to protect his body from any damage. Funny how his vicious uppercuts are probably his best defense! and Margarito has always had a fantastic work ethic i mean he keeps himself in shape like very few can in the business! i say he still has 6 or 7 great years left in him!

name me the fights margarito has been in that makes you think he can't last much longer. Cotto by far was his toughest fight and nothing fazed him absolutely nothing! Wow a bump on your eye from some shots and that makes you believe he can't keep fighting like this? Tell me how you come to this assumption.

I'm not just bringing longevity into question here. He may fight for a while, he may not, but with the talent and tough challenges ahead of him, he may not be at the top 2 or 3 fights from now due to him losing.

[Im Horny]

he is on top right now but he is still unknown worldwide. i mean come on the known fight he has ever been into is with cotto. who's next after that? NONE

[Derranged]

I say he loses to Mosley and/or DLH. Thats right. Remember where you heard it first.
