Anyones better than a known-cheater. After getting caught cheating, Marg loses every accomplishment he has ever had in boxing.

heres a little perspetive courtesy of this website:

The Denmark-based Ugandan Kalule is largely recalled as a stat on Ray Leonard’s record.* It’s too bad.* For an extended time at 154, Kalule was more than that.* On his way up the ladder, he defeated former titlists Duran, Obed, and Castellini with only Obed lasting the distance.* He also decisioned former Olympian Ray Seales before garnering a unanimous decision over fifteen to pick up the lineal and WBA claim to the World title in 1979.* Four defenses ensued and then Kalule got the financial call everyone in the early 1980s wanted.* He got some sugar in his bowl and a knockout loss in nine rounds of what had been a close, exciting fight.* Kalule was up and down from there, suffering consecutive knockout losses to McCallum and Moore in 1982 after his own knockout win of a faded Albarado.* Thought done, Kaule had one more major win after those defeats saw him leave the division, capturing a debatable nod over future Middleweight titlist Sumbu Kalambay.* It was at 160 that he would end his career with a knockout loss to a rising Herol Graham.

margarito never has done ANYTHING significant @ 154 man...

You got it Talip.

The guys voting for Marg simply have no idea what they are dealing with. Kalule peaked before Leonard and was kept from getting a titleshot for a long time. Margarito couldn't carry Kalule's jockstrap even if it was filled with plaster of paris.

Theres a big question mark on Margacheato´s whole resume. So I´m going with the other guy.
