How good was he really? He has a couple of losses to no-name fighters.
I see him as a slow, no-defense having plodder. If he was good, he wouldn't have had to resort to loading his gloves.

He's a horrible cunt. End of.
From about the time of the Martinez fight through until the Mosley fight he was a very good welterweight. I would have loved to seen him against Mayorga around late 2003 early 2004.

A fight fans wet dream. I wish Mayorga had of stayed at 147 (and disciplined) instead of chasing the money north in weight.Quote:

in fact we should do that, any thread about any boxer we should add their cheating as part of the title
How good was Antonia Margarito (loaded gloves)?
Did Holyfield (steroid cheat) beat Lewis in their second fight?
Is Shane Moseley (steroid cheat) and American legend?
Is Tyson Fury (cocaine addict) still the best HW around?
What has cocaine addict got to do with boxing, just as Mike Tyson the rapist, Ali the adulterer or Ray Robinson wife beater.Quote:

I will never forget that cotto fight..if only someone had checked his handwraps before..
Wanker.
Margarito is still fighting even with that busted eye.
He had an interesting rivalry with Santos and was the avoided fighters for some time.
His fight with Williams was very underrated and he came on strong at the end.
He significantly hurt Cotto's career with the beating he gave him and just shows you what a great fighter Cotto is from coming back from that loss.
I really enjoyed margarita's fight against Manny Pac that was where I think his eye was badly damaged and he took a beating.
Cotto's revenge was good to watch too.

You know master fucking shame
the list does go on
but non will get the same abuse as margarita gets
I could start a thread about holyfield and his cheating wouldn't get mentioned through pages and pages of replies
start a thread about margarita and if it isn't mentioned in the opening post then it will only a couple of replies in
