Prime Mayorga VS 08 Margarito

[Daccan]

Margarito by late round KO. A prime Margarito doesn't quit and he doesn't smoke. He does throw over 100 punches every round. Mayorga is a big puncher and a front runner. When he fights the better fighters he fades after 6 rounds and gets KOed. Trinidad cracked his chin first and KOed him. Then Oscar, Cotto and Mosley did likewise. Margarito's iron jaw survives the early Mayorga power and Margarito takes over in the late rounds and makes Mayorga quit.

So the Margarito that got his face caved in by Mosley in less than 9 rounds is the equivalent of a Trinidad who took almost as long to finish off Mayorga, in a weight class two divisions higher than Mayorga's prime weight? Without his gloves he's a bigger punching bag than Mayorga himself, and Mayorga definitely throws more volumes of punches than Mosley that are harder than Mosley's shots.

Well with no plaster Mayorga by t/ko.

No disrespect but Margarito never defended his title against 6 heads Lewis. Mayorga defended his title against 6 heads Lewis.

He did in his second defense after beating Antonio Diaz for the vacant WBO title and the hardcores wanted to see him unify against Mayorga.

this would be an awesome fight.

first instinct is that mayorga has to stop margarito to win and thats a tall order. mayorga has the bigger power while margo has way better output and stamina. both have solid jaws.

i have to watch young mayorga though. all my memories are of him well past it
