    Castillo is far more ring smart than Margarito, hes a superior boxer, better head movement and ring movement. Margarito is slower than castillo as well, im telling its not easy to land on Mayweather, Judah/Corley did it because they are deceptive in their movements and Judahs lefthandedness is a problem, Judah sets up masterfully (when he wants to) and is faster than mayweather, but, BUT, Mayweathers ring intelligence prevailed over zab. Zab is stronger and faster than mayweather and couldnt beat him, Mayweather adjusted and took things away from zab, the same could happen to margarito, alot easier.

You can throw all the punches you want, percise counterpunching hurts, even corey spinks had Roman Karmazin backing up.

      Regardless, i need to see margarito in with someone who is on his level or supposed to be better than him that ISNT named floyd mayweather to make a final judgement on him.

      nice! totally agree with ya there

        I'm sorry, but people are even saying Margarito will have a very hard time with Clottey. So we're supposed to believe that even though he may have trouble with the #10 welterweight in the world, he'll be able to beat the #1 P4P fighter in the sport?

          Yeah at 147 from what we've seen Zab looks faster than Floyd. Floyd wasn't showing full speed and throwing tons of combos also maybe because of his bad hands.

            Ummm...i believe Castillo is 5 times the fighter Margarito is. You can't compare Tony to Castillo.

              if you measure power, marg is at the top of thelist. he may not have world class speed, technique but i doubt floyd can handle is power IF he gets hit flush. i agree with everything u say tho but if castillo/tony ever fought castillo would be dragged into a war. one im not sure he can win so his ring smarts would be thrown out the window.

                  Where was Margarita's power when Daniel Santos was walking through his best shots?

                    okay you are basing his power off of what fight? Where has this George Foreman like power come from? Trust me even if Castillo and Margarito were to start throwing blows, the pure experience of Castillo being able to slip punches and counter would dominate.

                      Tony is way bigger than Castillo so the idea of that match is rediculous since tony is 6'0 and has fought at freakin 154 for allah's sake. The punches that Zab hit Floyd with KO about 95 percent of most other fights who get in the ring with him, Zab, and im going to say this, Sets up better than tony, THEREFORE, because Margarito is so methodical, Zab's power is far more effective, which is why Zab is a superior fighter to Margarito and is more accomplished,

                      Duckin/Title shots denied or not, Zab has held legit titles in multiple weight classes, Tony has not, he had his shot agains Santos and lost, i dont care if he was coming on, i dont care about any of that, he lost.


                      Because Mayweather took Zabs punches at 147, even if Margarito somehow hits floyd flush, hes not going to just buckle down and hit the canvas, Floyd is a modern day pernell whitaker, when did you see that **** ever happen to him? Even on Coke Whitaker could barely be touched.
