can anybody under 154 beat antonio margarito?

[STEELHEAD]

He has the lowly WBO belt and people are giving him recognition .

Funny to say the least.

this is an exception.margarito shouldn't be taken lightly because of that.no top escheolon boxer wants to fight him.no money there for the pain.

i don't think zab or floyds speed will help them for to long against bigger margarito.

i see mosley having a chance.

Antonio Margarito isnt the most skilled fighter out there. Some say he is a bigger version of Castillo and ill even admit that Castillo is better pound 4 pound technically.

But the fact is.

He is tough, big, and strong.

He is young and hungry

He comes to fight.

He throws punches from different angles.

He throws effective

He keeps both his hands up

He can pop.

He has great stamina, and high work rate.

And though he isnt up there technically with the best, he is decent.

He is a tougher fight for floyd than anyone he's faced in the last 2 - 2.5 years. And he pays better too (About 7 million... compared to less than 4 for Sharmba).

He was ducked like the plague by Spinks, you know... the guy that Judah beat to be "undisputed".

Lets be honest here if it was as "easy" as some of you guys are saying to beat this guy it would have been done already and the fight would be signed and waiting. That whole there is no money in it is crap there is more than enough Money on the table to fight him. Especially for Foyd.... and if it was as easy as some are saying then even more so the reason to fight him.

Also wether the belt comes from the WBO, IBF, WBA, or WBC doesnt make a champion. Marco Antonio Barrera and other great fighters have proven that.

there's a lot of Margarito haters on here, all of which seem to be Mayweather fans. I only saw two of his fights, Santos 2 and Cintron, but he looked good in both, he just needs to get more active.

PBF would Expose him quickly.

man have u seen how small mayweather is compared to margarito?

[machotime]

PBF would embarrass Margarito...and practically every other boxer under 154 lbs...

Mayweather at 154 would be demolished!!! he is crazy to even think of fighting at 154. Anyway, Margarito is bigger and has way more punch than Mayweather. Margarito/Judah would be a great match but I still think that Margarito would win. Winky at 154 would beat all of these boxers. I hate his style and he is more boring than Hopkins to watch, but as Emmanuel Stuart said "Winky is untouchable right now".

This is easy, PBF, Hatton, Santos (again), Cotto, De La Hoya, Mayorga, Witter, Mosley, I can keep going but you get the point.

[dizo101]

mayweather and judah are better fighters but their to small for margarito in my opinon..de la hoya wont fight margarito...is their anybody under 154 who can beat margarito at this point?

YES

Mayweather hatton cotto would beat margrito imo

thats what i think too.these guys are small and would have to be able to find a way to hurt margarito to have a chance.speed isn't enough.

[druth]

Speed isn't enough? Ok...

To bully someone and pound away on their body/arms/chest, they need to be a stationary target for those shots to have any juice.

Both Mayweather and Zab are too quick on their feet to let this happen to them, especially against a "slow" fighter in Margarito. Sure he's got power and is a rough fighter, but being rough only works if you can keep on your opponent. They're both entirely too fast to let this happen. Both of them will pepper him with jabs and 1-2's when Tony is on the way in.

There's a reason he's the WBO champ, and it's not because he's avoided. It's because his handlers know his limits. Put him in the ring with these two, and the guy will get a boxing lesson.
