Excellent Antonio Margarito article

[El Gamo]

Easily the most proven WW on earth. I love Cotto more than anyone but no way does he deserve to be above Tony on WW lists. Also,it's interesting to note,that most people at other major boxing sites bar AUTO MESSAGE: The webmaster of this site has requested that we do not use any content from it.... please delete this post,favour PW heavily. Even Freddy Roach said he thinks PW will win. Seems Margarito is the under dog here. Will make his victory all the sweeter.

Don't you think the Quintana and Judah wins are above anything that Margarito has really done though ?

In a word...no. People who criticse Margarito's resume either do not know much about his opponents OR have not seen either them fight or the actual fight themselves.

Quintana and Judah are excellent wins. On the other hand,Margarito has beaten a slick southpaw boxer who is highly under rated in Sergio Martinez.He's beaten former champion and decent boxer 6 heads Lewis.He's beaten current IBF champ Kermit Cintron.H'es beaten rock solid Joshua Clottey. These guys are just a few fighters Tony has beaten and they were big strong WW. They were just as proven at WW at Quintana. Judah only has 1 good win at WW,v Spinks and Margarito crushed Antonio Diaz who has a win over Spinks.

So no,Cotto has not done more than Tony at WW imo. The facts are there.

ok fair enough, I completely admit i don't know much about Tony and his opponents so i need posts like that to educate me.

I still think the Judah and Quintana wins are better than Cintron and 6 heads though, I hardly count the clottey fight as Margarito looked so unimpressive.

Hahaha,;; would you discount Hatton's win over Collazo because he looked so unimpressive? Tony looked poor for the first part of the fight but picked up during the second half and people don't realise,he was carrying a wrist injury in addition to the ankle injury. The difference was he did not moan about as much as Clottey moaned about his injury.

I wouldn't completely discount it (Collazo fight) but i would never use it as an arguement as one of Hattons achievements , it was a bad night...

Anyway , i actually got hold of some of Tonys fights since my first posts on this thread a few days ago as i had only seen him against
vs Cintron
vs 6 Heads
vs Kyvelos
vs Santos
vs Clottey
vs Gomez
I just wanted to say ive been mostly very impressed, he is an absolute cardio machine and I think he deserves his shot at something big soon , assuming he beats Williams.

vs Clottey

Have a cool click on me for doing some research. Most guys who dislike Tony have seen few fights,usually his most recent ones. If after seeing all those fights,you still do not rate Margarito then fair enough,at least you can justify it. CC brother.

whoops I just realised my post didnt make sense before, but you seemed to understand it anyway though,

I meant i had only seen him vs Gomez and then I watched the other fights,

anyway cc back

I am now rooting for Margarito when he fights Williams after seeing the fights btw, before i was hoping he would lose because i always thought people over rated him , but now i am kind of feeling sorry for him as I think he truly is a ducked fighter adn deserves his shot.

Aaaaaah,another guy on the Tony bandwagon! Welcome aboard,I'm the driver. Theres you,me and a few(very very very few) others I really need him to beat PW. Then my support for him will have been vindicated. Man I'm nervous! And dam right he has been ducked.
