Terence Crawford vs. Prime Antonio Margarito.

bud would ssm the caveman

Bud would beat the living **** out of Margarito. Bud is one of the top 3 best body punchers in the game. Cotto didn't go to Marg's body which is why he couldn't hurt him. Pac broke his ass with body shots. Bud would fold that man like a cheap suit.

Bad idea. Plaster issue aside, Marg was an excellent inside/body fighter. Pac got in pretty big trouble sticking to the body too much as Marg was able to land some nasty shots. He would land on Bud if he did the same.

Giving the benefit of the doubt, pre Mosley Marg walks through Bud. His size, workrate, and style is a nightmare for a guy like Crawford.

i have to disagree with you here (b/u). unless i missed the part where pac was in trouble. my idea of trouble might be different -
wobbly legs, not defending against combos, the ref looking in closely, damage to face.......

just because a person gets hit doesnt always mean ''trouble'' or ''hurt''. mcbeggar gave may a pretty decent uppercut. nelo landed some nice shots but 3g wasnt ever in any real trouble.

imho, pac could have fought that exact same fight for another 12 rds and not be in any real trouble.

No plaster no punch. Margs couldn't take it to the body. Pac beat the living **** out of Margs.

Who did Cotto beat/stop at 140/147 for him to be labeled a big puncher?

Who did TC stop for him to be labeled a big enough puncher to suppress Margarito?

People really underestimate how much the Cotto fight took out of Tony. He went through hell for that win.

He also lost to Mayweather, so your point? Are we going to fanboy this one out? Because you seem to like bringing it out.

First of all, you brought up that Cotto is a much bigger puncher than Crawford. No one has ever suggested he was a big puncher so I don't know why you're saying Crawford is an inferior puncher. You could've made the analogy to Pacquiao instead of Cotto but for some reason you went with the latter. If your assessment is Cotto couldn't knock him out so Crawford can't either then you could have to come with a better explanation than what you came up with. Heck Mosley knocked him out. Are you suggesting he's a much bigger puncher than Cotto AND Pacquiao since he couldn't do it either?

As far as being a fanboy, that's ironic coming from you being that you're one of the biggest Pacquiao cheerleader on this forum.
