as for Margarito.I first saw him live Vs.Rodney Jones in a loss and that was all she wrote...even in a loss.Then he went in with on & off power hitter Ankamah who was being pushed hard in promotions and Margarito pulverized him.Been a solid fan ever sinse.Win, lose, or draw...no part timer here
After Mosley schooled ODLH, I became his loyal fan. I can still remember it though it happened 8 years ago.
Its a great thing,anytime you can do a 180 on a fighter.Better yet is seeing a fighters career from jump off and being able to say...."I saw it live" and followed him throughout.Sort of feels like a culmination.It gets more difficult as you go and the longer you follow the sport with the ones that have literally hung around too long from when You first started following them.I'm there right now with Holyfield and almost there with Hopkins You remember where you were when it was all gravy and what was going on with there careers.You can not live on yesterdays alone Lol. Now you think.....ahh come on man,call it a career already !!
