    Hey guys, remember why Hatton beat him though. A superior game plan and superior strength on the night, along with a dogged determination to win.

    Like Juice I havent seen much of Margarito, however what I have seen is him boxing with a lot less technical skill than Ricky Hatton. He appears to be a bit of a brawler like Hatton but with less skill and an equally good chin. Am I wrong?

    Im predicting Tszyu to win... If Tszyu wasnt so old, I would fair him with Mayweather also.

      i think margarito is lookin for an easy 'name' to put on his resume after floyds taxi driver comment. unless tszyu's age has caught up with i think tony has misjudged the man.

      still dont think it will ever happen considerin kostya wont fight without johnny warren and johnny has said he wont support a comeback.

          Now Tszyu will be in something like when Chavez fight with Kostya. I hope this fight happen.

            I would favor a younger Tszyu over Margarito anyday.But im not sure what he has left at this point.He couldn't handle Hattons pressure,im not sure if he could handle Margarito's.

              For a while I still would have liked to have seen Zoo v. Floyd...think about it...1)who has beaten Zoo from the outside and 2) it would have at the very least been an easy fight for him physically, win or lose.

              But now after such a long layoff I dont think Floyd is a good idea, but is Toney Margarito the answer? Talk about a physical fight!

              Zoo should lobby for Zab...sure it is not a real significant fight but it is one his 37 year old body would thank him for.

              Either that or go up two weight classes and fight Spinks, Ill take Zoo in that fight right now.

                Actually Tszyu is a young 36, he's only fought 34 times in his career.

                  KT quit in a give and take fight where he was only down by a point on one of the cards against Hatton...his body or mind was not sold on fighting for 12 rounds.

                  If he quit against Hatton I will be curious to see what he does with the larger, much larger Toney Margarito.

                    Id like to see that. I would like Margarito to KTFO Tszyu the way he did it to Chavez.
                    How old was chavex when he fought tszyu anyways?

                      BTW-you age actually has zero to do with how young you are in the ring. The number of fights are not the best indication either.

                      A fighter could be 27 years old with 20 pro fights and could be long in the tooth.

                      Zoo may not have a ton of fights professionally but his amatuer background was quite lengthy and the fights he was in during his profgessional career were fights where he took punishment to win.

                      Check out Hurtado, Urkal, Phillips, Hatton...the guy is not young!
