can anybody under 154 beat antonio margarito?

hmm

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.

That is 100% false. His handlers are not holding him back. He tried to get a fight with Floyd and Floyd didn't take it. Maybe Floyd will take it later, who knows? But Margarito is avoided, plain and simple. He deserves a crack at a real title and it's not his handlers holding him back.

I agree with the majority of what you say here, however this is a point which I'll disagree with you on. It's sort of like how Gatti's handlers were...they told him NO NO NO with Mayweather, however he wanted to fight him.

Margarito is a tough cookie, but only for the right type of fighter. Someone who can pick his punches off or avoid them and hit him with quick counters (even if they aren't huge shots) will dominate him.
