When will it ever stop? Just give the man his due...

I give Tony all the credit. I also say the man has changed since his two sub-par performances against Clottey and Williams.I think the Tony that came into the ring against Cintron and Cotto will knock either of these guy's out in a rematch. It seems it was that goofy ass haircut that really sparked Tony.It's mullet-esk and is beautiful keep the hair and everything is going to be great.

I give him credit...loads credit

i thought he was shit

as a boxer he is

as a warrior he is one of the best

shame mayweather would eat him for breakfast

He still needs to prove he really is the best Welterweight by beating Paul Williams im sorry no matter what anyone thinks that was a legit UD loss........

And that loss will never go away unless he rematches Paul Williams now that Paul Williams has beaten Carlos Quintana in impressive fashion its the most intriguing Welterweight fight out there........

I only really count 1 loss on Antonio Margarito's record and thats too Paul Williams the loss to Daniel Santos was a gift decision for Daniel Santos and Antonio Margarito deserved the nod.........

And the others were when he was a teenager fighting men i think Antonio Margarito seriously got overlooked by fans because they see those multiple losses but didn't know the real facts regarding those losses.....

And also Antonio Margarito is still slow just because he beat Miguel Cotto doesn't change the fact he still has flaws like throwing his punches too wide plus he has mediocre handspeed and slow footwork.........

Im not saying he isn't effective at what he does because he is very effective but those flaws that i mentioned above are still there and they haven't changed just because Antonio Margarito defeated Miguel Cotto.....

But Antonio Margarito does have an incredible chin/heart/workrate and sometimes determination and alot of heart can overcome skill as we see against Miguel Cotto.

Lots of fighters experience this kind of treatment all time most especially those who beat a man with high credentials. Margarito and even Pacman are treated this way like they are fluke or one dimensional or beating old guys or he fought nobody and etc... you name it and you probably heard every reason they can come up.. Some boxing fans and even some boxing experts always tend to discredit if the fighter who win is not in their liking. They don't seem to give credit where credit is due. That's life you can't please everybody all the time. But besides all this, Margarito and all others who does not seem do anything right even if they do great still have the last laugh...

From a neutral point of view this is the cost of success just as Mayweather is constantly discredited and heckled despite having one of the best resumes in boxing.

Margarito will now suffer a similar scrutiny of everything he does 'consider it as your success taking a shot at you' and no one will be happy until he loses bar his fans.

It's funny really, just shows how jacked the WW division is. Margarito no doubt just beat the best active WW, but he does already have a legit loss to Williams, and for my money would be the underdog in a rematch. I'm also not sure who I'd pick if Margarito fought Clottey again or Mosley.

I give Margarito all the credit in the world for beating Cotto like that. But the above poster is right, Margarito needs to avenge his loss to Williams if he is to be regarded as the best WW. I think Williams stock has fallen since his loss to Quintana which the rematch hasnt quite erased. But its between Williams and Margarito as to who is the best. And so far Williams is the one with the W over Margarito.
