Margarito proved that he’s a welterweight to watch when he stopped then undefeated Sergio Martinez in seven rounds back in 2000 and then KO’d Antonio Diaz in 10 rounds to win the WBO title in 2002. Martinez hasn’t lost since the Margarito fight, has rung off 22 consecutive wins (beating a few notable European fighters along the way) and is now world rated at 154 pounds. Margarito gets NO respect for this victory. Diaz had ONE loss in his last THIRTY fights going into that Margarito fight, and that loss was to a prime Shane Mosley (35-0 with 32 KOs at the time). Diaz had beaten the likes of Cory Spinks, Micky Ward, Ivan Robinson, Emanuel Augustus, and a two-round blow-out of Alberto Cortes (the last guy to beat Baldomir). Margarito gets NO respect for this victory.
I think Margarito proved himself to be a worthy title holder by shutting out giant Danny Perez over 12 rounds in his first defense, and he proved that he’s the best welterweight out there by TKOing then undefeated Kermit Cintron, literally boxing the ears off of Sebastian Lujan, and blowing out Andrew Lewis, Hercules Kyvelos, and Manuel Gomez
lol Margarito is over rated, he needs to beat someone like Judah, Baldomir Hatton or another big name before he gets a shot at P4P #1 Mayweather
ok you may be onto something
Hahaha, the fact that you can say Floyd's afraid of anybody after he's willingly climbed into the ring TWICE IN A ROW with a monster like Castillo makes me laugh.
All the talk about how margarito is a nobody just proves gayweather is afraid of him..because in gayweathers nuthuggers eyes .he would dispose of margarito easily because margarito has not beaten anybody...and yet ..mysteriously....in twilight zone fashion gayweather will not fight margarito and pocket some nice loot....i wonder why?...ummmm what can cause somebody not to take easy money?...and don't talk about risk because remember margarito has not beaten anybody or proven himself...i wonder why gayweather refuses to even mention margarito....
like they say...fear is a cold b*tch
lets see margarito get past the very underrated clotty first.
Very underrated? lol who has clottey beat to think he's very underrated? come on man. Clottey is an ok fighter but he hasn't shown anything that will make him a very underrated fighter.

Mayweather is getting as u say easy money of over 8 million to fight baldomir in nov. The so called most fear fighter is actually afraid to fight his mandatory in williams who has many times called out margarito. You said margarito will fight williams after clottey but how can you be so sure? if margarito beat clottey then margarito could fight chico next ( rumars about him fighting chico after clottey) and if that happens then margarito should be bashing on bad for fighting a fighter that is on a two fight losing streak and is one of mayweather left overs.
All you really need to know about how good or dangerous Margarito is or isn't is that Floyd has twice turned down career-high paydays to face him. :)
Floyd's a smart man. Infact he's a buisness man. You may say that was career high paydays, yet a fight with ODLH would be even bigger and more money. He knows this and would rather try luring ODLH into a fight rather than what he believes a fighter nobody knows. There is a chance he could lose against Margarito if he slips up and I won't say who would beat who because Margarito has a puncher's chance though Floyd could easily embarrass him as well. The fact is Floyd won't take a chance yet when he could be in for a larger paycheck against a man the entire world recognizes. :cop:
It is easy to say Margarito has to "earn" this fight, while PBF can just go and do whatever he wants. BS, if you ask me. margarito is a true welterweight, has been fighting for just long enough (10 y) and should be the first contender in any rankings.
I'm a Floyd fan. I think that people are making too big a deal of this. This has been blown way out of proportion by Arum and company. That's creating all this unnecessary pressure to fight him. But I must say I am little concerned... If there is so much pressure, sooner or later, I expect him to stand up to that challenge. Im not so sure he will.who is that chick in your sig?
I'm black, but I don't hug anyone's nuts. I don't hate or dislike Margarito. Margarito definently should get a shot at Floyd before Paul Williams does at this point.
to tell you the truth, alot of the floyd fans on here arent even black, there really arent too many black people on this site.
but i think the "nuthuggers" are all pretty equal, i like the japan nuthuggers because...there arent any.
I'm a floyd fan but i'm puerto rican not black lol.
What about Puertorican nuthuggers?????
Maybe you're right, that's not really the point. I was just saying that Floyd will receive criticism forever if he doesnt take the fight, providing he gets past Baldy.
No he won't cause if floyd gets past by baldo then he will fight mosley in feb and then oscar in may. Facing mosley and oscar back 2 back is way better then face an overrated overhype piece of crap in margarito who again is avoiding his most fear mandatory.
The Mexican nuthuggers are not worse then the black nuthuggers or the white nuthuggers.

See that wasn't tough to say.
I honestly do aggree that in a way it is a good idea that they get a few more fights before they fight, this way it can be a more meaningfull fight when people are more aware and in aggreeince that Margarito is a top fighter and a threat. And we'll get to see floyds skills maxed out if cause Margarito will ask that of him.

Same with me.
This Margarito guy is similar to the movie " Great White hype"

All the crap about floyd and margarito can end quick if floyd fans would just aggree that floyd doesn't want to fight margarito because margarito is a threat, thats all they'd have to admit but they can't.
Whatever the case is, Floyd should just fuckin fight him already. I don't think he's anything special, but the mexican nuthuggers and Floyd haters will never end this shit. JUST FIGHT HIM ALREADY
