Margarito Sucks!!!!!!

well how about when marg asked for an exception to fight clottey just so he wouldn't fight williams? and williams was even his mandatory back then. marg is clearly ducking williams. i also thought he wanted to unify. now he's giving up his title. marg is the biggest joke in boxing.

How hard is it to understand why he would fight Cotto before Williams? Fighting Williams will do nothing for him in terms of the types of big fights that he is looking for. Fighting Williams is high risk low reward, and if he were to beat him everyone would just say that Williams was green and unproven. Fighting Cotto is a much bigger fight and a much bigger payday. He is taking a step up in competition, and if he were to beat Cotto it is more credible than Williams and being that Cotto is a more proven fighter. If he were to beat Cotto, it would put him a position to get the types of fights he wants. What part of that do you not understand? It's not that hard. Thats the same situation there was between marg and PBF and PBF was criticized for not fighting marg. The thing that annoys me is the hypocracy b/c marg spent so much time bitching.

Cotto (for Margarito) in this comparison is equal to DLH (for PBF). I'm NOT comparing Cotto and DLH, just the situation. Williams is equal to Baldomir. Both have won the fights to put themselves in line for a big fight. Both have earned it. Floyd decided to become the WW champ while waiting for DLH, Margarito is deciding to sit back and fight a lesser opponent. Not too difficult to comprehend. Margarito talked all that shit, then ran as soon as someone worthy took the challenge. My prediction: Cotto is going to dispose of Margarito in a violent and cruel manner, then we won't hear from Margarito anymore.

Is it really that hard to understand why he would fight a fight to keep himself busy and not to fight a risky fight in Williams before fighting Cotto? If Marg was PBF mandatory before the DeLa Hoya fight do you think he would fight him HELL NO and if you say he would your full of shit. The point I am making is I can understand him wanting to fight a tune up before Cotto and not fighting Williams instead of Cotto. That would be stupid Williams doesn't bring him the credibility Cotto does or the money. How is that so hard tgo understand? I am not huge Marg fan but all I am saying is I understand the logic. In understand that the people that get so butt hurt over this are the Floyd fans and the Margarito haters.I don't expect some of you to ever acknowledge this. Understand this logic, Margarito was never Floyds Mandatory. Paul Williams is Margaritos Mandatory. Margarito built himself on the reputation hes the most ducked. Hes going to duck paul williams. Ok? You may say that people are "butt hurt" over this, but your not exactly awknolwedging that Margarito looks kind of stupid saying what he said and then openly preparing to vacate his title and isnt willing to take on someone whos actually the same size as him, is just as big as him, and has a style just like him. Its like Ryu Ducking Ken so he can fight Chun Li Which is ok, it means more money for margarito, but he shouldnt have built himself up like this if he doesnt want to be critisized. Oh well for him.

Because hes saying one thing and doing another, which is what every boxer does anyway. Your making it seem like your opinion on the matter is so concrete without understanding why the sentiment is like this towards him, you cant say everyone ducks you and your the most feared, then duck your mandatory who says he knocked your ass out in sparring and that you fear him. Arturo Gatti openly ducked Floyd for about a year, but his criticism was minimized because he didint exactly call himself the most ducked/feared fighter in the game. Everyone knew he was doing it, but nobody was really trippin. Same with Hatton, hes always very much avoiding a match with floyd, but its not as bad since again, he doesnt call himself the most feared/ducked. But Margarito ran his mouth for months and is doing the same thing, so he deserves whatever flak he gets, i think you may say your not a big margarito fan, but you sure go out of your way to type long walls of text in his defense. Nobody is saying that margarito is stupid for fighting cotto, hes stupid for building himself as the most ducked/feared, then ducking himself. He should have just shut the fuck up. exactly....

Williams hasn't done shit to deserve a shot but put himself into a position to be Margarito's mandatory. ... ummm, isn't that all that he has to do to deserve the shot?

Because the guy is his mandatory, Margarito was never floyds mandatory. When you avoid a mandatory with massive tv exposure and has been openly calling you out, while you claim to be ducked, it kind of hurts your credibility. Then you take a 10 round fight and basically vacate your title, while having said that guys like mosley, de la hoya, vargas, mayweather have all turned you down and claim they fear you (as he did say in the showtime pre fight show) then it makes you look bad. But being a hypocrite is apart of boxing, so its nothing new. Is it really that hard to understand why he would fight a fight to keep himself busy and not to fight a risky fight in Williams before fighting Cotto? If Marg was PBF mandatory before the DeLa Hoya fight do you think he would fight him HELL NO and if you say he would your full of shit.

What about that do you not understand? I can see him taking a fight before Cotto to stay busy and not get rusty, but why would he take on a tough fight and risk the biggest oppurtunity of hi career that would be plain stupid. How many fighters do you know would take on a tough opponent and risk ther shot right before the biggest fight of there life. The answer is no fighter, but you expect Marg to, that is just stupid. Because the guy is his mandatory, Margarito was never floyds mandatory.

Williams hasn't done shit to deserve a shot but put himself into a position to be Margarito's mandatory. I wouldn't be hating on Margarito if he wasn't being a complete hypocrite in this situation. I have no problem with fighters trying to get their money, but dsmaron't hate on another fighter trying to set up a big fight when you're going to turn around and the exact same thing... Why is it such a double standard when Floyd did the exact same thing the first time he was offered the fight with Margarito? It's kind of funny to me how when Floyd does this it is cosidered a smart business decision? The difference is at least Margarito is taking a step up in competition. Floyd didn't have a fight like that on the horizon. I don't want to hear he was waiting on Oscar because that wasn't until he was offered the fight the second time. You crucify Marg foe the coments he made yet when Floyd said "If it makes money it makes sense". Well when the money was there he turned it down and I don't want to hear about Baldy, because that also wasn't until he was offered the fight for the second time. The point I am making is that if your gonna say that about Tony you have to say the same thing about Floyd and not try to justify him. Why would Marg fignht Williams if he has the oppurtunity to fight Cotto for more money and if he possibly wins there is more credibility in beating Cotto than Williams, bringing him one step closer to getting the types of fights he is looking for. Is beating Williams gonna get him any closer to getting a fight with Floyd. NO!!! Floyd said himself that he didn't even know who Williams was. I understand you are a Margarito hater and you like other Floyd fans are gonna look for any reason to hate on on Margarito, but it would be absolutely stupid of him to fight Williams over Cotto. Also I don't want to to hear if he gonna fight before Cotto why not Williams. Why would he fight Williams before fighting Cotto and risk the biggest fight of his career. How many fighters do you know would take arisky fight before the biggest fight of there career. I could understand him taking a fight to stay busy and not get rusty but to fight Williams before Cotto or instead of Cotto would be plain stupid. If we wer talking about Floyd people would try and find every reason in the world to justify this. It is a bullshit double standard.

I am not a huge Margarito fan but i don't hate him either. my problem with this statement is that this is exactly what i was saying when Floyd wouldn't fight Margarito. Everyone said that Marg hadn't done anything to deserve a shot and everyone was justifying Floyd in not fighting him. What has Willaims done? what has Williams done? Ask the Wbo that, they have ranked him as the #1 contender. From my recollection, Williams done what he was supposed to do fight and defeat fighters in the ring. He earned his title shot and he ain't just been talking. Now I'm not knocking Margarito for ducking Williams for the bigger fight in Cotto. That is not the problem, the problem is all the mess he was talking all last year and then he turns around and does the same thing. The hypocrisy is the PROBLEM, not his actions necessarily. Williams is his mandatory, he doesn't want to defend against his mandatory. This is truly what a duck is, this right here is the definition. margarito should have fought Williams for the Clottey fight, then he wouldn't have an obstacle for the Cotto fight.

That wasn't the main point I was trying to make, the first part was. The second part just adds fuel to the margarito sucks fire (not for me, but just in general). It just annoys me that first it was there won't be a Williams fight because he wasn'tt fight before cotto, that was the excuse...and then there is gonna be a fight. Marg is just a target for critisism b/c of his hypocracy, his most feared boxer bullshit, and then when he says nobody will fight him Williams steps up and doesn't get a fight. Now every little thing Marg does is going to get criticized for. Even if its not that big of a deal (e.g. him not fighting williams before cotto). How hard is it to understand why he would fight Cotto before Williams? Fighting Williams will do nothing for him in terms of the types of big fights that he is looking for. Fighting Williams is high risk low reward, and if he were to beat him everyone would just say that Williams was green and unproven. Fighting Cotto is a much bigger fight and a much bigger payday.

clottey is one of the most underrated fighter in the game how many of his fights have u seen to really say that. i mean really really:o

I know It's probably been written about before. But I have to express myself... Margarito is a real loser for not fighting Paul williams... I understand that boxing is a business... but it's s**t like this that's f***in boxing up... Paul Williams Earned his title shot... and most of 2006 was marked by margarito and his camp saying he's the most ducked welterweight in the game, but look who's duckin now... Margarito doesn't deserve to be in the Ring with Cotto. Cotto has taken on all comers, he has an outstanding resume. I know Margarito must figure since both of his options are going to equate to ass whoopins' He might as well go for the one that is going to bring him the biggest paycheck... He's still robbing true boxing fans of a fight that could have been one for the ages. cause after Cotto is done with him he might not want to fight anymore... F. U. Tony!!!!! I've heard alot of "Fuck Maragrito" and "Margarito Sucks" here and there. He may have not deserved the "most dangerous" label - but he's not garbage. He's a good strong fighter. Margarito has my respect.

I don't think theres a double standard. The thing with Marg. is he spent so much time bitching that PBF wouldn't give him a shot, and when the situation is reversed, he does the same thing that Floyd did (and he bitched about). It's not so much him vacating to fight a bigger fighter, its the hypocracy thats involved. Plus, he still could fight his manditory. How I understood it, he wasn't going to fight before the Cotto fight b/c he didn't want to screw up his big break, so thats why he doesn't fight Williams, fine. But then he takes a fight before the Cotto fight, so then why not williams? Now there's no excuse, at least for me. What about that do you not understand? I can see him taking a fight before Cotto to stay busy and not get rusty, but why would he take on a tough fight and risk the biggest oppurtunity of hi career that would be plain stupid. How many fighters do you know would take on a tough opponent and risk ther shot right before the biggest fight of there life. The answer is no fighter, but you expect Marg to, that is just stupid.

The thing is though, Tony has time to fight another fight before the Cotto fight, like Cotto is doing, and Tony is trying to get out of fighting his mandatory. When you call yourself the most feared man in boxing and duck your mandatory, its straight up laughable. Why would margarito fight Williams before the biggest fight of his life and risk the biggest fight and payday of his career that is just stupid. How many guys do you know take on a tough opponent before a major fight? I could see him taking a tune up just to stay busy and not get rusty but to take on Williams before Cotto would just be stupid. That would be like like saying why doesn't Floyd fight Tony before fighting a major fight that is just stupid.

Floyd did the exact same thing Margarito did to Williams. That's why I don't know why the Floyd nuthuggers are all in arms about the Williams affair either. It's convenient how they used the "Floyd isn't ducking Tony....he's just looking for the big fight in Oscar" Hmm.....sound familiar? Except this time the haters always just find something to bitch about. The REAL haters are the ones that keep denying the fact that Margarito will face Cotto...and keep whining about him ducking Williams. LMFAO! He's gunning for Cotto but he's ducking Paul "The Punisher" Williams. That just sounds like a complete joke right there. Excellent post. Exactly what I have been saying there is such a double standard when it comes to Floyd everyone justifies this kind of shit. I could undertand Floyd wanting to wait on Oscar but that wasn't until the second offer.The first offer had nothing to do with Oscar, yet it was considered a smart business decision. It's a bullshit double standard.

I know It's probably been written about before. But I have to express myself... Margarito is a real loser for not fighting Paul williams... I understand that boxing is a business... but it's s**t like this that's f***in boxing up...

I am not a huge Margarito fan but i don't hate him either. my problem with this statement is that this is exactly what i was saying when Floyd wouldn't fight Margarito. Everyone said that Marg hadn't done anything to deserve a shot and everyone was justifying Floyd in not fighting him. What has Willaims done? I am not saying that he doesn't have a lot of potential and won't be great but at this point in his career what has he done for everyone to jump on the bandwagon the way they have? To this point I think he is very over hyped. Once again not to see that he won't be great but to this point in his career who has he fought and beaten to be hyped the way he has. When Floyd did this the first time he was offered the fight and turned it down it was considered a smart business decision, and i don't want to hear that he was looking ahead to Oscar because that wasn't until the second offer came out. Margarito is looking to fight a tougher fight, and an extremely tough opponenet. How can this be considered a duck. i could see if he was fighting a lesser opponent but he is looking to take a major step up in competition. My problem is, there is a double standard here. Floyd does this and it is considered a smart business decision and it's not hurting boxing, but everyone is ready to pile on Margarito yet they justify Floyd. It's a bunch of bullshit. If your gonna say this about Margarito you have to say Floyd did the same exact thing.
