Margarito vs Williams=All Time Great Fight?

Santos weighs 170 in the ring, 10 lbs more than Tony even. Williams does not have the boxing skill of Santos either. Williams is not elite. In the other thread you said Marg would be defrauding the public by beating Williams.
Which is it?Comment

Nopes it's not an all time great material. It might turn out to be very competitive action wise but Williams is not an elite fighter.Comment

William's needs a little bit more time before taking that step up... maybe not a long time (a year at most), but still, timeComment

I can think of two fighters that have beaten margarito and they are both jr middleweights by the name of rodney jones (#1 contender for wba title) and Daniel "the puerto rican sensation" Santos. Margarito lost those fights to guys his own weight and now like most mexican fighters he is stuck at one weight where he is running out of time just like fernando vargas. You can only drain yourself down for a certain amountof time before it catches up to you, that's why baldo won't be floyd.
Leave that racial **** out of your posts, this is about the 5th time ive seen you do this. For every mexican fighter that weight drains there are just as many who stay in good shape and are in their prime. Leave mexicans alone and just stick to single fighters. Youll fall into the same mornic trap alot of other people do by battling by race/nationality.Comment

BUMP!!!!!!
Williams is his mandatory and this fight should happened. He got his some tonight but he's a volume puncher. Him, Ouma, & Margarito all get hit because they throw so many punches. Thats not really a bad thing. He also never got hurt off those clean shots so you can tell that he has a great chinLast edited by DLT; 08-19-2006, 10:49 PM.Comment

Margrito is already rated high DUH.....you're an idiot.Originally posted by DLTMargarito is scheduled to fight Rivera but he better not or he is a *****. You can say whatever you want about Floyd but the fact is he has fought some very elite guys and Margarito hasnt fought anything close to that. I think Callazo, Zab, Williams, and Quintana will all fight him but there is one problem.
You may have noticed that they are all Southpaws and most if not all of them are slick and no one wants to fight them. Margarito just had big time trouble with Santos. You may say that Santos is much bigger then these guys but you could also argue that these guys are more skilled then Santos.
I think Zab would be a great fight but you cant trust Zab so it could end up being a stinker similar to the Baldy fight. I think Quintana maybe a beast but he has only beaten a green Julio and it could also "possibly" be a stinker if things go wrong. Callazo was a champ and some think he still is. He is very skillful and would probally be my 1st choice if Margarito wanted a real fight. The problem with him is he isnt as fast and he still let Hatton swarm him at times so Margarito could probally do even better.
Then you get to Williams. Williams is exactly like Quintana in that he has only beaten a green guy but he will have fought Mitchell by then and his style is awesome. I say **** the fight of the year, I honestly believe that this fight has All Time Great written all over it. Im talking about Hagler-Hearns type **** without the elite status.
Think about these guys style. I rewatched the Williams fight and I loved the way he came straight out the corner throwing. He threw about 10 punches in the 1st 15 seconds of the fight. You never see that anymore. Margarito usally comes out kind of slow but by round 2 he is throwing bombs at a high rate. Margarito towers over everyone at 5'11 but Williams is a insane 6'1. Both of these guys love to throw over a 100 punches a round. Williams is a lefty while Margarito is a righty. Then you have the fact that they sparred together and think they know eachother.
You combine all that and you have one of the most exciting fights in history. Imagine these 2 WW Giants fighting eacother & throwing non stop bombs. I imagine that this will be one of those fights were there will be alot of rounds where both guys get hurt and hit by alot of blind punches. One minute Williams will be killing Margarito and have him done but then Margarito will come back and have Williams done. Im talking Hagler-Hearns, Gatti-Ward, Chico-Castillo ****.
This is a must see fight. You will never see 2 action packed guys like this who throw punches non stop, who have freakish height, and fight with different hands. If Margarito beats Williams then he will be rated high and Floyd would really look like a chump for not fighting him because this fight will be so exciting that everyone will be a Margarito fan if he winsComment
