A sad sad day...Antonio Margarito retires.

[Onix]

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.

Have a good life Champ

Lol

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

[Althugz]

Crap style, crap fighter.

This basically.

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.

[Tam Seddon]

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.

[DavilaJones]

He retired? Good. The less said the better.

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."

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.

[roberto duran legend]

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

[Beanflicker]

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.
