Margarito Destroying Martinez

[Heru]

Is it just me, or does Antonio Margarito have better hand speed back when he was that young? I don't really like Margarito, but I think this guy would've been more successful if he would've got his shot at the big time sooner than what he did. Just imagine what would've happened to Cotto if he had to fight that version of Margarito. We'd be reading his eulogy right now.

He does. I've noticed that from this fight, against Antonio Diaz, and a couple others.

I think he's gotten slower from all the punches he's taken and maybe he sacrificed some speed for more volume.

The best guy that Martinez beat is Cintron and look how impressively Margarito destroyed him in both fights? Martinez should've been able to close the show even when Cintron got that big break in the 7th round. That posturing around aint gonna get it done with someone who throws punches like Paul Williams does.

Their past losses mean nothing.

Williams couldn't handle Quintana's movement in one fight.

Martinez couldn't handle the BODYSHOTS (not so much the workrate) of Margarito one night.

True, Williams avenged his loss, but Martinez was also farther away from his prime then Williams was in his defeat. So, it balances out.

I was never sold on Martinez and I don't know what all the hype about him is.

Can anyone recommend a Martinez fight against a top 10 P4P guy that he beat?

Look for Martinez-Bunema in the download section. Bunema was coming off the Karmazin knockout and was top 5.

Have you seen the first Margarito-Cintron fight?

They were looking at each other for the first few rounds. Looked kind of like the Martinez fight. Cintron improved after switching to Ronnie Shields from Steward. His stance against Martinez looked a lot like what Hopkins and Marquez do and Cintron got a 10-15 minute rest.

I have feeling that Williams will have a hard time against Martinez. He moves a lot inside the ring and is faster than Quintana.

Paul Williams would've KO Cintron again in Martinez's position.

I know this was probably a green Martinez but if he couldn't handle Margarito's workrate a 160 Paul Williams will have him for dinner Dec.5th
