I'm not saying Margarito is a hall of fame fighter, but to say Dude is a D fighter is not smart. Yeah, he got caught cheating, etc. but a D fighter?!?!?! Not close. Especially in this generation of fighters, I'd still put him in the same class as a Gatti, Judah, type, good enough to beat a lot of guys, but not just the elite level. Also, if you look at Oscar, since he has been compared to him, Oscar was a definite draw, but when he stepped up to the ELITE level, he lost more than won, AND, he benefited from a few gift decisions as well....
I definitely don't believe Margarito has a chance to beat Manny, but just because Dude doesn't have blazing speed and can put combinations together and has fantastic footwork, doesn't mean he sucks?!?!?! Reminds me of Kelly Pavlik in a way, good at what he does, but gets into trouble against fast athletic fighters. With their skillset neither of them has a real plan B, but in their lane, both of them can be good and exciting... Not caping up for either of them, Just saying...
