Would the Margarito that fought Pac beat Ortiz?

[ThePunchingBag]

If Ortiz fought Marg, would Marg be considered better competition than Berto?

I honestly don't get why people say Cotto-Margarito would be a close 50-50 fight but then go on to say that Ortiz would beat Margarito.

I have Cotto beating Ortiz if they ever met, and that's cuz Cotto hits as hard as Maidana only about twice as accurate as both him and Berto put together.

Cotto also has better straight up boxing skills than Ortiz IMO.

The Margarito that fought Pac was not the same Margarito the beat Cotto.

The Margarito that beat Cotto would beat Pac IMO.

I also would love to see a mosley/Margarito rematch, this time with a ref that doesnt allow an average of 8 clinches a round. Even if Margarito loses, itd be entertaining.

it's simple

the marg a few years back would have killed ortiz.....

but the one that fought pac & mosley loses.....

It's funny how ppl say that after Mosely KO'd Margs he was suddenly shot to ****... I mean come on don't buy into the mayweather rhetoric, fighters have losses and they come back. Considering Margarito can still fight a pressure fight, his stamina is still as good as ever, he'd sure give Vic a lot of trouble. The only factor would be the previous damage to his eye and how well that would hold up.

Say what you say about Tony, but there are certain fighters that can withstand pressure fighters and there are fighters that cannot, and Victor doesn't have the right composure for a superior pressure fighters such as Tony... Maidana made him quit, imagine what Tony will do to him... Margarito still fights the same way as when he fought and KO'd bigger guys such as Sergio Martinez and Cintron...

No he hasn't done anything post plaster... that's the real problem.

The question is pure Flame bait, triangle theories don't work bro.

[johncods]

Of course it has to do with version. Styles don't mean anything if one guy is prime while the other is done.

And, Ortiz now beats Marg now or that version that fought Pac.

However, a prime Marg would ruin Ortiz. Any version of Ortiz.

How is margarito done when he almost dropped Pac and inflicted the most damaged to Pac since the marquez fight? I think he landed 200+ shots on Pac.

I kinda think he would of most definitely. If Ortiz can't hurt you, and your hurting him with non-stop pressure then he's ****ed kinda like Cotto against Tony & Pac. If Maidana can make him quit then Margarito makes him quit faster.

Oh come on guys, give Tony a chance, I always think Tony put on the plaster just for the Mosley fight just to compensate for him not losing his weight the right way and was dehydrated in the process.. And after that lose, he was forced to take a 1 year or so vacation, then fought just 1 tune up before fighting an elite fighter in Manny the next year, Tony was not given a chance to loosen up first before fighting Manny so how can he look great with that....
