    Margarito Is More Skillful Than Given Credit For

    Yes we know he isnt the fastest or slickest of fighters, but there is more to Margarito than some ascribe to him. He throws punches from all angles, but most importantly he throws that punch youre not expecting, I saw it over and over against Cotto.

    The volume of punches is one thing to deal with, but there is indeed a definite and strategic method to his punches. Not all of his punches are meant to hurt you, he will many times throw a punch thats not hard, but its intent is to get you to move your head so he can land a more devastating punch. The knock on Margarito is that he starts slow and he does at times, this is the case with some pressure fighters who try to figure their opponent out, after all they are there for the duration and are counting on a battle of attrition for victory anyway.

    What Paul Williams did should not go unnoticed, he kept a man at bay for the most part by outthrowing him who is known to throw many more than his opponent, that being Margarito. He showed humbleness in following a gameplan which consisted of holding his opponent, I dont see Shane doing this, perhaps not until he is hurt which will be too late, cant wait for this fight.

    Yea but most people just go by what every one else is saying..they don't observe or make judge for themselves..they go with the flow..

    You can't be slow and not have skills and win al those fights...aside from Margaritos early losses he has only lost to PW convincingly....but even that fight was close...

      Marg's a tall guy that can fight in close. Inside, he actually defends well, he's just wide open from range. He always brings a strong body attack also.

        what's so skillful about catching every punch on the face and windmilling punches???

        yeah money marg has some skill, but just face it, money marg is all about chin and volume.

        oh yeah and also his size advantage.

          Pretty much spot on.

          And more to the point... Margarito doesn't have skills because he doesn't need them. I'm not saying he'd be a great boxer if it weren't for some of his physical attributes, but why fix something that isn't broken?
