    He's a chin with stamina.

    Back in 2008 he was chin/stamina/plaster and possibly stimulants. Quite a FRAUD if you ask me.

      Margarito isn't retiring until after he beats Cotto again.

        Depends on how many times he cheated if ever. We know he tried once and got caught. If he didn't cheat in any other fights I have him as a good fighter, but not great. All he really had was a great chin, because he was life and death with Clottey, Williams and Mosley and Mosley got to that chin. Without that chin he would have lost to Cotto as well.

        I can't accuse him of anything because I only know what I saw before Mosley.

          He was the first fighter to beat Cotto and make him take knees at the same time waving "NO Mas"

            he wasnt anything special. but how good he actually was will always remain a mystery. cotto beat the living **** outta him for half of a fight and then he made a spectacular comeback. thats his best win and even that is clouded in su****ion. margarito is not a hofer but he was one of the better wws of this era.

                He'll be remembered as a tough fighter with a granite chin. But he won't shake those dark clouds questioning his integrity in a sport where he earned his livelihood. He pretty much masterminded his own undoing.

                    How is that a triangle theory? Unless you mean the shape of Cotto's leg as his knee touched the canvas
