He went 8 yrs without a loss...He has never been knockedout/TKO'd etc...A headbutt in the second Santos fight is as close as he came....

He has beaten big punchers, owend a guy named Cintron many people were very very very high on even before the first fight, Nearly turned Lujan into a one eared circus freak, he has held two versions of the WW title, the first half of the Clottey fight gets grossly over exaggerated (I think someone said he was being beaten half to death or something close to the effect) and the Williams fight was his fault for starting so slowly...that is a FACT not opinion...Williams did not beat Tony that night Tony beat Tony!!!!


Yet no one wants to give him respect? I don't get it?...I mean you don't have to be a fan of the guy but fuck man people simply are purly just not giving him his due on anything...It is just out of pure dislike or out of what people here like to call "Being a Hater"....Talk all the trash you want but you can not take away what the man has accomplished...

Danng G is giving Judah more respect....IMO that tells me he has doubts about Cotto walking over Tony like he is trying to make everyone believe...

You don't have to like the man but you can not deny what he has accomplished...plain and simple....

Is he the best out there?...I won't say that and I am a big Margarito fan...I will say though he could beat anyone on any given night and it would not be an upset..Just my opp
Tony's got everything that makes boxing great, he's a fighter with grit, determination, fighting spirit and a blatant refusal to surrender which borders on scary.
He's a true Warrior Daxx, I acknowledge that.
I respect him and if I ever turn out to be half the boxer he is I'd hold my head uphigh in pride.

But objectively, he's not the best. The grittiest? Yes. But the best no.
He has had and will have succeses, like Barrera, he will eke his own niche through sheer determination and abrasion.
Many will discredit him however as he is not supremely skilled, he's not a huge puncher, he's not perfect defensively and he's not laser fast. He's just a guy who toughs it out. So respect to him, but he won't be a favourite because of this.


Makes me wonder why Gatti was so popular sometimes

can you name 3 other fighters in the ww division, that are bigger punchers than Marg?
Obviously Cotto my friend , i dont say it because im ones of his Fans , is because stadistically is named by the experts.......I didnt see all the fights of Margarito , but i never seen an opponents of him that been disfigurated like Cotto did to the most of his opponent.....Can you?.............
