The writer knows quite a bit about Margarito...I just think that his fans are blinded by Arum's mouth & whether Margarito has the skills to back it up will remain to be seen. I don't dislike him...I'm just not a fan of him like you are.

I think I was pretty fair & honest with my opinions...you just don't agree with me...& that's fine...hence the discussion.

Well he has beaten more top 10 contenders at WW than anyone else in the division(I'm using Ring Mag) and respected writers like Doug Fischer,Steve Kim,Dan Rafael all said he was dangerous waaaaaaaaaaay before he was mentioned as a PBF opponent.
Okay. I still just don't think that he has the abilities to neutralize Floyd's or his speed.

Also,to mention his 4 losses is misleading to say the least,how old was he when he lost at 147??When was the last time he lost at the weight? And he lost to Santos at 154 in a fight which could have gone either way first and second Santos is HUGE for the weight.
Beating Cintron over Judah pales in comparison. While I despise Judah...the kid is full of skills...he just lacks ring ethics & maturity. Sorry...but I do feel that his record is as weak as everyone screamed Baldomir's was.


I don't mean to hurt your feelings here over Margarito...but my point with this article was more to debunk the detractions leveled against Floyd...not just to slander Margarito.

If you think Marg is a much worthier Champ than Floyd...so be it...but Floyd has accomplished more & my point is that people should recognize such before raking him over red hot coals.

I'm not saying he's a bum...I'm just saying he's not the Lord Almighty that Arum & his fans proclaim. All he's done is remain undefeated against a laundry list of opponents who were there to be hung out to dry...Baldomir did the same thing...he just got two bigger & better stars on the resume.

Let Margarito & Floyd fight...I will stand corrected & respect him if he wins...I just don't think that he will.
