    I agree about margarito.

    however, phillips beat tszyu down. I didn't see much luck involved in that fight.

    I would have said phillips-tzsyu was a better comparison for campbell-diaz

    No because tszyu got koe'd into temporary retardation, while campbell only won a decision.

    Inconsistent veteran with a strong right hand outlasts and breaks down a young champion accustomed to beating most of his opponents using the same approach

    The Diaz fight could have been stopped IMO, he received just as much an asskicking

    Campbell didn't broke down Diaz. He beat him to the punch, and made him look bad in the process.

    Campbell matched Diaz's output, but with added power, and Diaz began to slow and break down...making him "look bad" as below

    Yes I did, but it wasn't the kind of fight like Phillips - Tszyu or Marge - Cotto. Campbell landed, but never had Diaz down or on the verge of stopping him. How is Diaz - Campbell a better comparison to Tsyu - Phillips than Cotto - Marge??

    that's just stupid. see. i knew people "still" wouldn't give credit to Margarito and somehow, Cotto would "still" be considered a better fighter than Tony despite getting KTFO by him. That's ridiculous.

    you think Margarito wouldn't beat Mosley's azz?

    Agreed. If it was so much "luck" involved, then why did pussy ass Tszyu never even attempt a rematch? He knew the deal.
