Why was Margarito considered a hard puncher and Mayweather feather fisted?

[jmrf4435]

never really heard anyone refer to margartito as a power house "puncher" people said he had decent power though, and he was HUGE for the weight class which helped

can you stop with this ****** ass philosophical ass threads? we all know the reason that YOU WANT it to be true. we all know you're all about race race race. it's all you think about. coward.

so here, let me spell it out for you so you can get the gratification you were looking for; it's because MARGARITO IS MEXICAN and MAYWEATHER is a BLACK AMERICAN. Black americans are not respected in the sport and are often faced with systemic racism.


There's your answer you race baiting troll.

and if you even followed boxing (and not just floyd) you'd know that margarito wasn't really known as a heavy puncher, but rather a volume puncher who was known for his high work rate and pressurized style of fighting.

but "muh race card"

smdh.....may WAS featherfisted AT WW.

The question OP is asking why some people consider Mayweather feather-fisted when he has same number of KO's as Margarito.
When you look at his record most of his KO's are at the lower weight classes. Since he came to 147, we rarely see even a knockdown.
That is the reason he's not considered as powerful as Margarito despite having almost the same KO %.

You could say the same thing about Pacquiao at WW. Do you consider him a light puncher also?

Well yes, with most fights ending with decision, I don't see Pac as a massive puncher at welterweight. Do you?
What is your point?

Damn another Mayweather thread!

Just let the man retire in peace, damn.

My point is you can't base it only on how he did at a WW especially if that's not his natural weight. If Golovkin move all the way up to HW and stop KO'ing other HWs you don't go back and say he wasn't a devastating puncher. A HW fighting WWs or MWs would probably have a 100% KO ratio. It should simply be based on their KO percentage. If Mayweather's and Margarito's have similar KO percentage then the argument is correct, neither one was a devastating puncher or they were both good punchers. Which ever argument you have for one should apply to the other.

People always have to parse information that's available to make whatever cuckoo argument they're trying to make.

"Homeboys" can't punch. It's not in their genetics.

The only know "slickness"

Interesting alt... particularly directed to Larry too...

Margacheato got most of those KO's through plaster wraps.

Yep...he was a "slow starter"
