Im sorry Old school fighters are not automatically the best

[IMDAZED]

In my assessment of Margarito what did I say that was inaccurate?

Was he not good at cutting of the ring?

Was he not a solid body puncher?

Did he not have a good uppercut?

Did he not put pressure on fighters?

Did he not impose his will and make his opponents fight his fight?

Was he not good inside fighter?

SMH @ Margarito being average in his prime. A cheater? Maybe. But average? Christ, this forum is getting worse with each passing day.

I always thought he was able to do those things relative to the level of comp he fought but that those skills wouldn't translate when he fought better fighters.

I never came away from a Marg fight thinking, wow this guy is skilled. But maybe I wasn't paying enough attention.

I agree. Look at these drunks stumbling around.

I agree they arent stummbling around...but at that same time they arent doing anything different than fighters that came after them have done.

I mean, do people know what the **** they're talking about? A champion for six of seven years. Threw over 100 punches a round and got stronger as the fight progressed. Threw EXCELLENT combinations. Heck, if that was Roy Jones throwing a triple left uppercut (like Tony did to Cotto) we'd be on our knees. Excellent body puncher. Sturdy chin. Aggressive. Could force any boxer to brawl with him. ****, he made Daniel Santos exciting. Power/cement in both fists. Underrated boxing skills. Knew how to cut off the ring. Incredible pressure-fighter. Experienced. Savvy. Average? That muther****er was downright scary in his prime.

No but reality is even the Marg of today would lace the head off most of these ATGs

Even at a weight disadvantage against Jake Lamotta, he would of smashed him to fcukin' pieces. If this guy was getting smashed left, right & centre by fat bartenders who trained 1 hour a week WTF do you think would happen if he met Marg?

It's ironic how skilled pressure is the hardest way to fight, I think it is, yet skilled pressure fighters are called face first brawlers.
