Let me give you a little history.

No excuse. What can you do when fighters on the spotlight won't give you your shot? Much like a Marvin Hagler's career. What, would you say Hagler was ducking everybody in his first 40 plus fights?

AND HE'S GOT FOUR LOSSES!!!! FOUR one to a guy that's 14-9
Four isn't so bad, but your boy is gonna step in with Judah right? Last I heard, he lost to a nine loss record fighter. If four is laughable, what does that say about Judah?
First things first, Santos is much better than Carlos Boldimir. Also that was a close fight, stopped prematurely due to and accidental clash of heads. Some scored it for Margarito, some had it a draw, perhaps some thought Santos won. But Santos is Puerto Rican and can you guess what happens when you have a close fight, or even a fight in another country against a hometown favorite? (Roy Jones knows the answer to that, because he never fights overseas.) Life happends, and it happened to be that Margarito got the loss. It's a loss, every fighter can lose. That's why boxing is so compelling. Any fighter can lose. So it can be said that Santos is the only one to barely edge out Margarito. No shame in that.
I have no clue what your talking about, 14-9, is made up as far as I'm concerned.
Margarito became pro when he was 15. He would marry his highschool love and lose three times total, during his teenage years. His last Welterweight loss was when he was 18. One loss from a guy 3 years older than him, which counts for a lot if your a little teenager. And the other two from guys 10 years older.
Losses happen when your young, especially if your professional debut is at the age of 15. What were you doing at the age of 15? Steeling snicker bars from the 7/11? I didn't even have a job at the time.
Mayweather is blessed to have had the chance to start as an amature. And you can bet he lost too when he was young. But I'm not going to google it, in order to say Mayweather is a chump because he lost when he was a teenager. Because that is just total nonsense. Just like your argument about 4 losses.
And if you can't get 4 losses out of your mind. Just think of Carlos Boldimir.
