Proof Margarito was ducked by EVERYONE

[elfag]

Paul Williams ducked him?

Paul Williams whooped that ass. Thanks, thats 4 times hes gotten his ass whooped. Clottey was on his way to whooping that ass too.

woulda loved to see Tony get his hands on Zab after he beat Spinks
and before that, Tony-Mayorga woulda been epic
too bad King wasn't having it
Williams shoulda given Tony his rematch instead of fighting Quintana

I thought it was Margo who didn't want any part of the rematch...

Williams offered and Margarito declined.

Or maybe alot of the opposition he was looking to fight, already had suspicion that he was a cheat. Being a complete one dimensional, ugly fighter, and a fighter no one truely wants to see in the ring against truely skilled boxers. Margarito is the equivalent of Kimbo Slice in the heavyweight division, besides the fact Kimbo Doesn't need Hand Wraps.

Tony lost his shot at Cotto when Williams beat him
he didn't have a rematch clause in his contract
so Tony lobbied the WBO formally to grant him a rematch with Williams
they did so and installed him as the mandatory
but Williams said no and insisted on taking an optional defense instead
he wound up losing to Quintana, then winning a rematch
after that, Williams wanted a rematch
but Tony was pulling Oscar's punk card and ignored him

Margarito was a ****ing bum. A cheat that only his fans thought fighters feared. Picture fighters being scared of Margarito. ****ing hilarious. The bum had no skill, and the minute the plaster was stripped, the losses added up, and the power evaporated!

Dammit where is my violin that only plays sad songs~ I have a nice ballad to play for you

Quote 1 deserves quote 2

Back then to be offered $8 million dollars was a lot .... still is a lot for most boxers!

The point is that people like Floyd never wanted to fight Margarito. Back then Floyd feared him. Others did Floyd's dirty work and beat Margarito but doesn't mean Floyd didn't duck ..... facts are being presented to you because Floyd fans always deny the truth! That Floyd NEVER wanted to fight Margarito!

Nah. Mayweather wanted to fight Oscar De La Hoya. Bob Arum would guarantee the money for that fight along with others so Mayweather bought out his contract and the rest is history.

Margarito was poorly promoted while being a tough SOB. He had that one moment in the sun against Cotto but just couldn't win the big ones otherwise. Getting caught with that plaster-like substance sullied his rep and once Mosley cracked that chin, he was done for. I guess the myth of being feared is something to hold onto when the resume is "meh" and you're esposed as a cheat.

And the point to fight some one with one dimension of fighting, while trying to prove you are the best boxer wise of knowledge/style; does nothing for you as a boxer.

Margarito is and always will be the most overrated Mexican boxers. Thought by most, that his whole career has been fraudulent; yet questions a posed about who ducked him. No True Boxing Fan Should Care About Him. He is a cheat who possibly destroyed others careers because of his lack of confidence and lack of heart. No man who cheats in such a way should ever be praised by any one.

You're welcome. And inb4 someone says "Arum pulled some strings". I don't buy that Arum has that much power. And since the CA Athletic Commission found Capetillo responsible, Arum could've easily had Capetillo take the blame and paid him to keep quiet in a criminal trial. No need to try and bribe anyone in a position of authority (especially since Arum has been penalized for doing that in the past). But charges were never filed. Why?

You are aware that Arum was able to get this guy a license to fight again after Margo should have been banned from the sport. Next, he even got Margo licensed to fight Cotto in New York when a big hoopla was going on about Margo's eye being damaged. Truthfully, Margo definitely shouldnt have been fighting Cotto in that condition.. But good ole Bob got it done..

I will not put anything past a guy like Arum, who use to be a lawyer in his own right.. You would be foolish to do the same

Except by his papi Paul Williams.
