Margarito vs Kirkland

[MODAPHUKA]

Prime Marg's best asset is that he can take punishment and he would early but Kirkland gets stunned and buckled so easily, I would favor Marg mid rd tko.

I can totally see Kirkland going HAM since the opening bell landing bombs on Margarito and since Margarito has no type of defense AT ALL , NONE , ZERO NADA , Kirkland just keeps firing overwhelming Margarito.

Yes it is something that never happened until late in the Mosley fight. But Kirkland's power and style is probably Margarito turned super saiyan (kirkland) Without the chin , but Margarito doesn't have devastating power. Cotto took bombs against Margs at WW where both were at their best and it still took him everything (and more) to make Cotto , should I dare say QUIT!!!

This would have been a great fight,,, i actually like kirkland,,,

Margs beat the hell out of welters, but never fared well at 154 because he didnt have the physical advantages as he did at 147,,,,

Kirkland is no defensive specialist either and since he is always coming forward slow Margs will land, he isn't a devastating puncher but he can hurt you and we have seen Kirkland stunned and dropped by fighters not know for having much power at all.

I can see your scenario playing out at WW.

154 though??? ......

Kirkland literally retires him. You thought Pac did Marg dirty? Kirkland would be on his ass going straight forward nonstop til Marg said No Mas

Kirkland is no cintron. If anything hes as tough as Pwill. Yeah he gets dropped but he always gets back up. Even against Ishida

A couple times being dropped could put him way behind on points doe.

Would Kirkland survive the onslaught?

Lol, Margarito KO's Kirkland.

[No bueno]

Agree with twrx ! Prime Margarito vs Prime Kirkland Marg takes Kirklands best shots and grinds him down BY the 6th or 7th round even . people on here with all that Margacheeto stuff act I as if he wore the Magic Wraps every fight ? I seen the man live when he almost killed cotto in their first fight ...he can fight. He almost had Cotto again in the rematch when the Ref stopped the fight due to his orbital bone which was damaged in the PAC fight .Margo wins 7th round stoppage .

We will never know how good margarito was didn't even get close to winning a fight since he been pinched with loaded gloves...one thing for sure he had a way better chin then kirland does

Well if he didn't even come close to winning without loaded gloves then perhaps the conclusion should not be that we haven't seen him at his best without loaded gloves, but rather that we have seen him at his best without loaded gloves, but that he simply he wasn't that good.
