Tony doesn't set at all to punch. Hopkins can't time sharp counters. Hopkins pays too big a price for holding. Translation: Stink-hop survival mode loss.
You are out of your fucking mind.....Hopkins would brutalize Margarito..P4P..and you know how he will do it? By standing toe-to-toe with him.....beating him to the punch..sneaky uppercuts..low blow...all that evil stuff...
Ok, Double. Thats it. You have officially gone off the deep end now. Explain to me how this would happen if for 6 rounds, Cotto was outclassing Margarito and making him look foolish. I always thought that you would never go down this road but WOW..... I'm genuinely surprised.
A prime Hopkins?:laughing::laughing: Double you simp.... Margarita would get the Glenn Johnson treatment. I bet your dumbass would pick Margarita over RJ P4P also huh?
It's not unthinkable that the Margarito with plaster, the only version of Margarito I was privy to at this time, could've put a beat-down on Hopkins, P4P.
The same plastered Plasterito that lost to Tall Paul and barely beat Clottey? Yep, plaster or no plaster he would be made to look like the slow, retarded heathen he is by Nard, any version of Nard.
I just hope everyone stops to think about the difficulty Hopkins would've had timing and anticipating Margarito's punches the way he's used to doing. Also, I encourage everyone to reconsider that this is P4P, and that consequently, Hopkins would have no size advantage at all. And lastly, when you try to envision this fight remember that Margarito would've had his plaster wraps. Forget tall Paul. When has Hopkins ever thrown the number of punches Tall Paul threw that night. Hopkins would have to be the favorite, but when we're talking about someone who can throw 80+ plaster-laden punches in a round, from awkward angles, in combination, and without setting his feet, and who has a granite chin, and gives up no height advantage to the frequently taller Hopkins, the typical knee-jerk, pre-programmed response like, "Hopkins would've destroyed Margarito," just isn't cutting it.
Answer the question: would Margarito have lost to Pacquiao if he had had his plaster gloves? Remember - Margarito has a chance against Hopkins premised only on his having his plaster. Without it, he's toast. I can agree with that.
Hopkins has faced and beaten up harder punchers than Margarito(Plastered up).... It will be a repeat of HOPKINS vs. ECHOLS II but Margarito won't have HALF the success Echols had in either fight.......Hopkins will counter Margarito with ease and brutalize him to KO victory...
Hopkins holding hitting tactics will be perfect vs. Margarito...I dont know how LL figures holding would be a disadvantage for Hopkins... Mosley let his combos go..then clinch/hold/didn't allow Margarito to get his punches off with ease....by the time Margarito freed his arms Mosley was landing an overhand right to his face.
Double L Margarito is slow as shit, predictable as shit, one dimensional as shit, hittable as shit. How on Earth could he beat Hopkins? Hopkins could be two weight classes lower than him and still win fairly easily.
