Do you agree with Freddie Roach when he said Margarito will never be a threat again?

Well to be honest once he got caught with his handwraps and Mosley cracked his chin I didn't think he'd be a threat again. The one thing he had was a great chin and Mosley seriously cracked that. Now with the handwrap thing coming out you have to wonder how much "real" power he has to stop his opponents.

we'll know for sure on his next fight..

hopefully it's cotto, or even a rematch with sergio martinez

If mosley cracked his chin, then how did he go 12 rounds last saturday, eating the most combinations I have ever seen?

Getting knocked out, looking like **** in the "comeback fight" + a long layoff and fighting at a catchweight...

No, he was never a threat to begin with. Another hype-job by Top Rank.

When Pacquiao's next opponent was announced as Margarito people said Margarito didn't have a chance and that he didn't even deserve it. But suddenly everyone is acting surprised that Pacquiao dominated him.

we thought he was shot after the mosley bout. but he's still got that come forward mentality, still has the chin. His power isn't the same, so I'm not sure if he could up in higher weight classes and make some noise.

I think he could probably beat berto; and I wouldn't mind seeing him fight cotto cintron, williams or martinez again.

IMO, he stopped being a threat after being exposed vs Mosley

We really can't be sure how much damage that particular fight will have on Margarito.

That said, I lean more towards, no. I don't agree with him. Put Margarito against anyone he's stronger than that isn't as fast and tough as Pacquiao and he will demolish them. Any fighter would have folded to the prssure Margarito was bringing combined with the 6th round body shots and Marg landing 30+ punches in the 7th and 8th rounds.

People were blind to this because body shots go over their head, but they were there and landed. And if Margarito is matched right, he will still be getting KO's in the future.

I approve this message,roughly around the time Mosley obliterated Margarito I knew his days of being a threat was done!!Matter of fact Freddy Roach said so on 24/7,he said he knew Manny ko's him because he seen his last 2 fights!!That's the whole reason in accepting this fight,no??

Dude stopped being a threat after the Cotto fight, 17 year veteran who has used his face as defense the whole time. Roberto Garcia even took his family to Chuckecheese right after the fight.

[Pullcounter]

he still has the style to beat cotto
