    You're my man, so I respect your opinion. But there's something about their chins and go for broke styles that make me see similarities.

    They both strike me as honest throwback fighters.

      The man will be back.
      The lack of dedication that Margarito showed after that victory was what made me quit being one of his fans even before he got busted for cheating and knocked out by Mosley. He's got to really do what you're talking about if he is ever going to win me over again.

        To be fair, the notion that he "cheated" is incorrect. The man is not a cheater.

        He will be vindicated.

          Yah, style- and aura-wise I can see it. Kinda. But as far as technique in the ring goes, Margs is far better than the Crotch in every way. The former actually looks like a genuine boxer in there, whereas Carl is just... man, it's like he's doing an Egyptian dance in there with how his hands are held.

            LOL...he's just crafty that way.

            Ask Jermain Taylor.

              Nawwww. That was purely a case of Taylor losing the fight for himself, and the Crotch capitalising on that.

                I like Froch, and he has a no nonesenese style, but Margarito is far better, and Frch's chin is not as good as said, he will get KTFO soon.

                  they are not the same, froch walks forward with his hands down, margarito has a much more conventional stance and throws his punches more orthodox, has a great uppercut. froch has more power but magarito throws more and more accurate.

                    froch doesn't pressure nearly as much either

                      only big difference is there punches per round...but that can be expected of a lower weight to throw more...(except damn pwill)...i've grown to like froch...he showed heart against taylor and pascal...pascal's latest win only strengthens froch's resume!!!!!
