I would say its on par. Vernon Forrest was a huge puncher, and Mayorga took his shots all night and welcomed them. Not to mention he took a licking agaisnt Trinidad at Middleweight, and was really only broken because of body shots. Thats a hell of a chin.
That being said, this Marg-Mayorga would be decided on stamina, Mayorga would be in control early, but he just wasnt consistant...Marg would be able to grind him a little early with body attack, and his workrate and stamina would pay off in mid-late. close fight on the scorecards, and Margarito would have to rely on his chin for the first 4 or so rounds.
This fight is at 154, where Trinidad was a bit more stable and Mosley wasnt quite as explosive. I see Trinidad being hurt, probably dropped, but that happened a million times in his career and he still went on to win. After a nasty start from him, his accurate power shots would land to regularly on an offensive opponent like Mosley, and Trinidad would start breaking him to the body. Mosley would hurt Trinidad early, Trinidad would start hurting Mosley late and turn him defensive when his bombs landed...and they likely would, since Mosley's defense was never exactly amazing.
What the hell am I still doing awake?
