Antonio Margarito isn't the best welterweight in the world, but he's moving in on the top spot.

The massive Mexican welterweight delivered a brutal beatdown to Kermit Cintron on Saturday at Boardwalk Hall, not only lifting the IBF belt from his bitter rival but sending a loud and clear message to the remainder of a stacked division.

Margarito, who stopped Cintron in the fifth round of a WBO title fight in 2005, was even more impressive on Saturday. He raked Cintron with a combination of punches that left Cintron defenseless by the time the sixth round began.

Margarito ended it with a classic left hook to the body, which sent Cintron crumpling into a heap along the ropes. As Cintron lay on all fours, briefly kicking his feet, Margarito stood and mocked in the neutral corner, urging him to get up.
