    Is the so called prime Margarito in this case also allowed to use his special handwraps, because the only known Margarito without handwraps hasn't shown much regardless of prime or not.

      Canelo would give Margarito the same beating that angulo and Chavez jr got.

      Boxers beat canelo. Not face first brawlers

        He was more than that and you know it

          Fans always use that plaster excuse while ignoring PED issues for many of these fighters obvious double standard, i will tell you that.

          Margarito has always been a hard hitter. Even Pac consider Margarito as his hardest fight ever and probably the one that took the prime out of Manny after that fight. It was also because of Manny breaking Margarito orbital bone and why he looked **** after the Plaster issue, which is also lot of fans loves to ignore. Inactivity, getting older are another factor, dude is getting older, period.

          Also Canelo below 160 has never shown dominance, many of his fights were very close or competitive against top oppositions, i can tell some fans never watched his fights before. lol

            Nope he was a sloth high volume average puncher, only top guy he beat was Cotto and we know what happened there, every other top guy beat him.

              This fight would not have been made if Marg was prime.

                Nevertheless the 147 version of Marg wouldve beaten down 147 Canelo pretty bad, worse than Cotto 1. Marg beat down the absolute prime version of Cotto.

                  Never beat an elite fighter without cheating, lost 8 times, Koed by a former 135 guy, Margarito was an over rated Mexican tough guy, elite fighters beat him easy.

                    Would look like Canelo vs Angulo I reckon.
