    Whitaker by fairly wide UD.

    Lots of jabs and counters by Pernell but Margarito is on top of him enough to grab some rounds.

    Margarito's reach and long, solid jab earn him a unanimous decision victory

    Whitaker 8-4, but he'd have to really sit down on some solid shots to get Tony off of him.

    Whitaker by easy UD. He'll win at least 9 rounds.

    Whitaker 9-3 anytime... hed clown and get lazy often enough to lose a few rounds but there's no way he doesnt land at will against Margarito, and there is no way Margarito lands anywhere near enough to win

    Whitaker can't miss Margarito and Margarito hits nothing but air for the most part. Whitaker by wide decision.

    Just to clarify, the subtle science that Margarito employs is not mutually exclusive with his having had loaded gloves.

    Margarito is now the most underrated guy currently fighting.

    if he truly had loaded gloves for all of his big wins, then I dont think that's true at all

    what was his forte? wearing guys down with activity, constantly hitting them with heavy hands, right?

    well, take away a lot of that "heaviness" and what have you got? a defensively atrocious fighter with questionable technical ability who wings shots all night... basically, a game action fighter

    I dont care if you put LEAD in his gloves, he still couldn't beat a one-armed Pernell Whitaker

    You forgot the subtle science that he employs.
