(VIDEO) Margarito & Rios making fun of Roach's Parkinsons

[Gandalf]

All Margarito did there was do a bit of a shakey stutter, pretty harmless. If anyone crossed the line it was Garcia. The whole playing on the handwraps thing does go too far as Margarito has done his time for it. It is the Margarito team that should be trying to move away from that if anything. A harmless impression is fair game for a juvenile mind and a bit of time on his hands, but talking about handwraps and threats of actual violence using them, not such a gag. A mixed bag for me really. Rios comes across as a bit mindless and you sense that he is the kind of guy that needs boxing. Take that away and you likely have a seriously loose cannon.

There are no rules to shit talking guys, especially in boxing. See Ali, Tyson, and Mayorga as prime examples. Anything goes. Race, families, little kids, debilitating diseases, etc. That's how boxing has always been.

All of us says or does something that crosses the line sometimes. I have impersonated a spastic more than once in my life, though not on camera and certainly not in front of an actual spastic. It's a pretty good impression actually, but not something I have done in about a decade.

Not big and not clever, but whatchya gonna do. Throw stones and get upset forever? I just want to see a good scrap.

I'm sure it is.

Margarito is not "shit talking" though he's just showing what an utter lowlife he is.

You would expect a man in his situation to act whiter than white. At the very least show a bit of decorum.

Instead we have him making light of the handwraps disgrace and mocking a man with a terrible illness. I bet anyone that gave him the benefit of doubt for the handwraps incident, as in it was a one-off, is having second thoughts.

[Dizaster]

That's pretty low. Margarito has no class. But we all knew that anyway.

My girlfriend loves your sig Ono... I'm slightly impartial to Katy Perry myself actually. Always a pleasant thread to scroll through when you have participated..

waa waa waa, when is this whining going to stop? get over it ladies, boxing is a man's sport with a lot of shit talkers. everybody does it even freddie "shakey" roach! see, i just did it. are you offended by that? some of you act like a bunch of women acting as if you've never heard anything controversial before.

.... And here I thought Floyd was the only dick in boxing. Funny how some things are ok for some but such a sin for others. If Floyd did this shit people would be protesting with their undies twisted up calling for him to be deported and shot.

[luvfightgame]

That's not trash talk. Trash talk is to your opponent.


They were screwing around in the gym and got caught. Tony is an idiot and this will be his last big fight when Pac makes him look bad.

Way to go on ruining the scrap of respect you had left Tony. No class.

Who cares if you mock Roach like that? Marg is a very high-profile personel and you're not. This is why this whole thing is a big deal. The diff between you and him is kids actually (used) look up to him, and you're just a bottom feeding low-life scum of the earth.

Did you read all the responses? There's like one guy that isn't bashing Tony for this.

If Floyd did it there would be about 3 other threads saying what a brilliant P.R. move it was and how he's gonna make more money now.

That was a spot on reply man! SPOT ON!!!

I really started to by into Marg and Garcia path to righteousness after the first 24/7 - then it gradually got worse, and now they threw away every little bit of respect they had, which wasn't much to begin with...

Oh well, time for an a$$ whooping saturday...

[albsur2006]

Freddie Roach for the past couple of years has been a pompous asshole to be honest. But Rios & Tony were wrong for that one. If you're gonna talk shit about someone, talk about the way he dresses, or talk about how he sucked as a boxer and got his ass whooped all the time, but don't talk about Parkinson's. That's below the belt.

True, but the greater percentage of fighters and corners dont go there its minority, we are trying to hold up boxing as a respectable sport to the masses. Thats why this stuff rubs against the grain of the majority of people both in and out of the sport.

That is so condescending, it's annoying.

Dont do it again.

No one is crying.
