A sad sad day...Antonio Margarito retires.

Im sure to the dismay of many many fans our favorite fearless warrior the Tijuana Tornado has decided to hang up his gloves and call it a career.

Tony was most famous for his fights with Miguel Cotto, their fight in 2008 showcased Margarito's skills, punching power, and relentless determination. That fight won him a very coveted Championship belt but more importantly won him the hearts of many Puerto Rican fans.

Im sure many of those same fans will comment on this thread about their love for the Tijuana Tornado, Antonio Margarito.

Lol

He beat cotto, martinez and many others..but he cheated on all of them.
Crap style, crap fighter.

How's it sad?? He's half plastic face.

Peanut butter jelly time.

I'm not so sure about Margarito cheating in every single one of his top fights.
Clottey admitted himself that he didn't believe Margarito had loaded wraps in their fight.
The power in Margarito's punches didn't indicate loaded wraps.

I tend to believe Clottey's word in their fight than fan speculation.

Margarito did taint his own career though in his attitude towards the situation, and of course the Mosley fight.

I never understood why people talked him to a heavy puncher, when previous to the Mosley incident, when he was never that.
So after getting caught during the Mosley incident, people inclined towards the thought," See, he's not knocking everyone out."
Heavy hands were never one his attributes before this incident.
After the incident though, it all makes sense.

I am not defending Margarito or his actions- to make it clear.

Karma's a bitch. Adios Margarito

he had loaded gloves.

never should have been allowed to fight again.

did he cheat in his fights before that? doesn't matter. He tried to cheat and if he had gotten through with loaded gloves he could have seriously injured mosley.

I wish the recent motorcycle news was Margarito paralyzed instead of PW (and I was not a big PW fan).

Thats sick and you shouldn't wish that on anyone.

Well I doubt Margarito stays retired but we'll see. I still want to see him face Mayorga. I think a good amount of people would like to see that one. It'd be a good last fight for each man.

Yeah, that's true bro. I hate Marga-cheato with a passion... but I don't wish that type of thing on anybody. I'm happy he's retired, as I don't want him to earn a single penny more from boxing. But if he were to fight Mayorga as a goodbye fight, you can bet I'd be rooting for the madman from Nicaragua to put a major hurt on the cheating bum.

;D

Yeah I'm really torn up about it. I have not felt this bad since Resto and Lewis did jail time and got banned for life.

Not a consensus opinion.

i like margarito, i enjoyed his carear and the way he fought

I said this from day 1 when everybody was on his nuts. His claim to fame was being the alledged "fighter that Floyd ducked" - absolutely laughable that many believed that line of Arum drivel..
Career defining fight against Cotto has a question mark against it and he get's caught cheating in his next bout. Pretty much a disgrace to noble Mexican warriors.

On the flip side, he did awfully well for his limited skill set and had heart in there. Which I enjoyed in the end of his career because it meant he took deserved prolonged beatings for his paychecks (that he shouldn't have been getting)

Laters Margacheato. Enjoy your monies.

At least he brought it every time.
You knew you'd see some fireworks.
Shame about the stain.

A convicted and suspended cheater deserves a "highly positive and respectful post"? I think you're barking up the wrong tree, eric. Most boxing fans are GLAD Margacheato decided to hang up the gloves. He shouldn't have been allowed to earn a penny more from professional boxing after he was found out. But in a way, I'm glad he did. It allowed him to get the shit beat out of him by Cotto, who got the payback he deserved. Somebody said it earlier in the thread: "Karma's a bitch."

Marg was a very good fighter, really gave a good performance against Manny and nearly beat him with the body shot. He took a severe beating in that fight.

What was disrespectful? Another Saddo crybaby. Join my "couldn't give a fuck" list consisting of Fenster and Greenbeanz who are also vying unsuccessfully for my attention.

I will sum the man up , he was a cheating cunt. Glad you are out of boxing.

I don't blame him.....getting harder and harder to be a punk cheat these days. Don't steal anything on the way out

Haha Glad to see everyone has a sense of humor

24 responses (now 25) and 99.9% of them wishing Margacheato good riddance.
Not exactly what you'd call a "sad sad day".



Oh Margo..... don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.

:cool:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4sM_5CKyQ8



Here's my going-away present for Margarito.... the highlights from Cotto-Margarito II.
There's even a nice "reggaeton" that Margarito himself would enjoy.
Bon voyage, Tony..... I'll look you up in the slums of Tijuana if I'm ever in the neighborhood.

:fyou:

Even that was sarcastic.

Im glad he has gone, prior to the scandal I really like Margartio he was exciting to watch, ever since then I just see him as the villain. So glad Cotto ended him for good because after the first fight you really do have to think more about the scandal. I know pacquiao did the most damage to him, but Cotto put the cherry on the cake.

He retired? Good. The less said the better.

Yes, the Tijuana Tomato will be missed, kind of like a case of the clap or diarrhea.

If anyone ever deserved a shitty life after boxing (backrupcy, pugilistic dementia, drug addiction), it's this asshole.

And I know that sounds harsh, but think about all the guys who are going to have negative repercussions after boxing on account of his doctored gloves (if you think Mosley was the first time he had it, you're niave).

Well, let me put it this way:

I don't think HBO's going to be knocking on his door anytime soon about a commentators job
.... he looks dumb as a doorstop and probably doesn't have half the brain it takes to make it as a promoter or a trainer
..... he doesn't have a TV-friendly face to do any shaving cream commercials
..... and as a convicted cheater, opportunities are going to be scarce in general.

To that, you can add that his pretty (but money-hungry-looking) wife will probably leave for greener pastures now that she's left with a "one-eyed", "has-been" bum..... and you have a pretty pathetic post-boxing picture.

Basically, all that leaves is a minimum-wage job, and a side job consisting of selling his autograph at street corners in the slums of Tijuana. But that probably won't generate too much income from his fan base made up of several dozen people.

It's a sad day, indeed (wink, wink).

Ouch! You guys are pretty brutal and he certainly deserves it for what he may have done to other fighters and what he tried to do against Mosley. I was truly gutted when Tony was caught cheating to the point of being embarresed for him, but no matter how angry it made me I just cant find it in myself to wish so many bad things on another person especially one so far removed from my own daily life but to each their own.

I put this up in jest in case someone didnt figure it out, I knew this was going to push some buttons especially for some of the "Puertos Rican fans whose hearts Tony won over in his Cotto fight" haha.

Actually bro... I owe you some thanks for putting up the thread in the first place.

When I first read Margarito was retiring, I was about to pull the trigger, and said: "Naw..... I'll just let it slide. Margo's fans are probably expecting me to pounce on the carcass by starting a thread." But then, you did it... and I waited for a few responses... and only then did I let loose with my anti-Margo barrages.

But in all honesty, I don't wish anything truly bad or catastrophic on Margarito or any other human being, for that matter. I just hope he disappears from the boxing scene altogether and doesn't make another single dime off the sport. It's only fair.

If this piece of shit would load his gloves against an old man then its not some giant leap of faith that he would load up against an undefeated Cotto.

Unless your retarded.

Haha ya you owe me thanks so that your comments could get muddled in with the rest of the savages that want his balls on a platter. Again to each their own but I just cant get into that kind of rage or whatever it is

I was having a conversation this morning with a client of mine about fans and their devotion to their team, player or athlete and how the fans are willing to get into fights and commit some horrific crimes against other people over what and for who? For a team who doesnt know who they are or an athlete who is never going to see them when they are in jail for a crime they committed, pretty retarded.

Boxing to me now is no different then watching a movie, it may be bullshit or it may be the fight of the century in the end it is 2 or 3 hours of entertainment plain and simple. If its real or fake, if the judges are bought, if someone is on PED's, or if someone is wearing plaster is something i cannot control and I will not let get under my skin. Will I cheer for a fighter to win a fight as much as I cheered for Tony in 2008...probably not. That was the first and last time and it was dumb for me to feel his shame when he got caught afterwards.

I'm hereby changing your handle to "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde".

One post you're proclaiming how the cheater deserved everything he got and more, and how you're angry and embarrassed by him. The next post you're labeling anyone who criticizes the cheater as "savages", calling critics "retarded", and generally going back to your pro-Margarito tone. And it's not the first time or first topic where you've done this. But rest assured I'm on to how your twisted little mind works, and not getting roped into your "peace bro" bullshit anymore.

"Bipolar disorder" I believe is the clinical term for it. Get help.

Dude are you really that lost? Go ahead and reread my posts, I called fans that get into fights with other fans retarded. You wished to see him on the corner asking for money, that his "money hungry looking wife" leave him I just dont see why you have that kind of anger over a fighter?? Is Miguel Cotto your best friend? Was he paying your bills or something?

I used to have alot of love for Margarito and his fighting style but the day he was caught with loaded wraps was the day i stopped supporting him.

His whole career is tainted now imo and his retirement is a good thing for the sport.

And I know that sounds harsh, but think about all the guys who are going to have negative repercussions after boxing on account of his doctored gloves (if you think Mosley was the first time he had it, you're niave).

Well, let me put it this way:

I don't think HBO's going to be knocking on his door anytime soon about a commentators job
.... he looks dumb as a doorstop and probably doesn't have half the brain it takes to make it as a promoter or a trainer
..... he doesn't have a TV-friendly face to do any shaving cream commercials
..... and as a convicted cheater, opportunities are going to be scarce in general.

To that, you can add that his pretty (but money-hungry-looking) wife will probably leave for greener pastures now that she's left with a "one-eyed", "has-been" bum..... and you have a pretty pathetic post-boxing picture.

Basically, all that leaves is a minimum-wage job, and a side job consisting of selling his autograph at street corners in the slums of Tijuana. But that probably won't generate too much income from his fan base made up of several dozen people.

It's a sad day, indeed (wink, wink).

Ouch! You guys are pretty brutal and he certainly deserves it for what he may have done to other fighters and what he tried to do against Mosley. I was truly gutted when Tony was caught cheating to the point of being embarresed for him, but no matter how angry it made me I just cant find it in myself to wish so many bad things on another person especially one so far removed from my own daily life but to each their own.

I put this up in jest in case someone didnt figure it out, I knew this was going to push some buttons especially for some of the "Puertos Rican fans whose hearts Tony won over in his Cotto fight" haha.

Actually bro... I owe you some thanks for putting up the thread in the first place.

When I first read Margarito was retiring, I was about to pull the trigger, and said: "Naw..... I'll just let it slide. Margo's fans are probably expecting me to pounce on the carcass by starting a thread." But then, you did it... and I waited for a few responses... and only then did I let loose with my anti-Margo barrages.

But in all honesty, I don't wish anything truly bad or catastrophic on Margarito or any other human being, for that matter. I just hope he disappears from the boxing scene altogether and doesn't make another single dime off the sport. It's only fair.

Haha ya you owe me thanks so that your comments could get muddled in with the rest of the savages that want his balls on a platter. Again to each their own but I just cant get into that kind of rage or whatever it is

I was having a conversation this morning with a client of mine about fans and their devotion to their team, player or athlete and how the fans are willing to get into fights and commit some horrific crimes against other people over what and for who? For a team who doesnt know who they are or an athlete who is never going to see them when they are in jail for a crime they committed, pretty retarded.

Boxing to me now is no different then watching a movie, it may be bullshit or it may be the fight of the century in the end it is 2 or 3 hours of entertainment plain and simple. If its real or fake, if the judges are bought, if someone is on PED's, or if someone is wearing plaster is something i cannot control and I will not let get under my skin. Will I cheer for a fighter to win a fight as much as I cheered for Tony in 2008...probably not. That was the first and last time and it was dumb for me to feel his shame when he got caught afterwards.

I'm hereby changing your handle to "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde".

One post you're proclaiming how the cheater deserved everything he got and more, and how you're angry and embarrassed by him. The next post you're labeling anyone who criticizes the cheater as "savages", calling critics "retarded", and generally going back to your pro-Margarito tone. And it's not the first time or first topic where you've done this. But rest assured I'm on to how your twisted little mind works, and not getting roped into your "peace bro" bullshit anymore.

"Bipolar disorder" I believe is the clinical term for it. Get help.

---

Dude are you really that lost? Go ahead and reread my posts, I called fans that get into fights with other fans retarded. You wished to see him on the corner asking for money, that his "money hungry looking wife" leave him I just dont see why you have that kind of anger over a fighter?? Is Miguel Cotto your best friend? Was he paying your bills or something?

---

Don't be moronic. Cotto's neither my friend nor does he pay my bills. You, on the other hand, seem to swing from Margarito's balls, and have constantly defended him..... never mind that he retired from boxing in disgrace, having been convicted and suspended as a cheater, and getting his ass handed to him in a grudge match where he wanted nothing more than to crush Cotto. But he didn't... he lost... and he retired in disgrace.

I've been very clear in what I've said. I wish no personal injury or catastrophic misfortune on Margarito..... but I also hope he never makes another penny from anything even remotely related to boxing. And if he goes broke and ends up back in the slums where he came from.... no tears will be shed over here. He cheated in a sport where cheating could kill a man. If that's ok by you ('cause you've made it clear you couldn't care less), then good for you, kid.

You started this idiotic "A sad sad day..." thread. You should've expected the outpouring you've received.
'Nough said.
