Better fighter Margarito or Pavlik. Who is the better overall fighter

What do you think?

Margarito is a better fighter than Pavlik. Unlike Pavlik, Margarito has shown in his prevoius fights that he can actually box and provide angles. He's shown defense and strategy. That wasn't really helping his marketability, so he decided to drop all that jazz.

Pavlik has shown to be pretty basic. Jab, jab, straight right. Thats pretty much Pavlik's game right there.

I think Pavlik has the better fundamentals but Margarito has the better intangibles so I guess it depends on what you like.

Sums it up pretty exactly.

P4P Marg is superior IMO, Better chin, better variety of punches and is more intense

margarito.

watch margarito put his punches together, the guy is pretty smart, not many people can triple or quandrouple their uppercuts and body punch at the same time.

he also has great footwork which he uses to trap his opponents and a pretty solid defence.

People don't realize that he DOES have defense. But he doesn't utilize it as much as he used to. He and his team made the conscious decision to be more offensive therefore sacrificing defense for more marketability and its worked.

The "fans" who always criticize his lack of defensive prowess are the same fans that won't even bother watching his fight history. Funny enough, they are the same fans that start crying when people call Floyd boring and always bring up Floyd's older fights as proof of excitement.

i agree with both.
the variety and way Marg puts his punches together can be quite impressive and his constant pressure is also impressive he walks you down with purpose Pavlik will walk you down but i don't sense the same kind of intensity and urgency.
saying that Kelly's jab and following right hand are extremely effective look at zertuchi and Lockett

I'm a Pavlik fan what can I say.

margarito is imo p4p the better fighter.

pavlik hs a good chin, good accumulative punching power, is strong, will walk you down, throws plenty of punches and has a big heart but margarito just edge him in very single one of those areas.

bernard is not a powerful puncher yet he looked as though he had hurt pavlik at times. cotto on the other hand is a pretty powerful puncher who landed flush on several occasions but marg didn't even seem fazed by it.

marg has a wider variety of punche, for all of kelly's hype hes not really got much after the jab, straigh right and occasional left hook. marg has an awesome array of punches that he throws from different angles, the most lethal of which are his uppercuts which he throws on the inside.
