    Margarito's bum level, Canelo hilariously KO's Tony out of the ring in the 1st round.

      Please Floyd ducked him, and Cotto lost to him.

        Just like he did to Matthew Hatton and Ndou. At 147 ginger takes the knee.

          I would favor canelo to break down the plasterman. At 154, 147 is another story.

            Boxers beat canelo. Not face first brawlers
            Well, the Angulo fight was stopped prematurely and didn't see any reason for the stoppage.

              He also has beaten a upcoming Sergio Martinez and Kermit Cintron X2 outside of Cotto.

              Though I am not really what came of the plaster incident or if he won those bouts because of it.

                Canelo schools Margacheato with ease. Clear UD or late stoppage.

                  You're turning a blind eye to what made him feared. We all know what that incredible punching power came from.

                    Gene Hackman tells Sharon Stone, in a scene from a movie about gunfighters, the "difference" between pigeons and when they are described as Eagles... "Oh that guy? shiat... first two shots went so far wide he didn't hit the barn door! etc, etc, etc...

                    And so we have the cult of margarito... A big, wiry messican with steel cables for arms, large fists fashioned out of rocks... terminator like in his relentless approach... It only being a matter of time. Avoided by the likes of Floyd who was rumored to get wide eyed and short of breath when offered a drink made of Tequila, lime juice, sour mix and triple sec... because it sounded like Margarito... Margarito, half Golum half man... No pity, no empathy!

                    And then story time is over and reality sets in. Margarito beat Cotto under very questionable circumstances ahem!! He lost to every other marque fighter that he fought, including Cotto the second time... Mayorga who I would put slightly above Margarito's level beat an elite fighter TWICE! when rematched...By contrast. Sure Marg was a bruiser... But against all A level guys with the exception of perhaps Sergio Martinez and the "questionable" win against Cotto, he lost...

                    Margarito was definitely a workhorse and he did beat other workman like fighters like Citron and Clottey... He was also a fight where one earned their pay in bruised bones and flesh...

                    With that said? Canelo would do what Pac, Shane Cotto did...

                      This would be one of the worst beatings ever given out. Canelo by massacre.
