A sad sad day...Antonio Margarito retires.

[TitoFan]

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.
