Antonio Margarito knocks out Vernon Forrest I think. It feels like at some point his overwhelming attack is gonna get to Forrest. Forrest was a great boxer, and would be able to give Margarito problems, but it's hard to imagine that you couldn't handle Mayorga's attack and could handle Margarito's.

I think, what threw Forrest off with Mayorga was his awkwardness. Mayorga is a more unorthodox fighter, than Margarito. His punches are flying from crazy angles. Margarito is a more straight-up type of guy.

Margarito's accomplishments top Vernon's in my opinion. I'm not saying Vernon couldn't give him a fight, but I'm picking Margarito here, and I'm picking him by stoppage.
