Antonio Margarito is a coward

Margarito just lost. He has every right to have a tune up to get back into the swing of things. Golden Johnson is legit enough for a little 'comeback' fight of sorts. Get off Margarito's balls already.

Haha. "Margarito is scared of Cintron". When he already whipped his monkey ass all over the ring and stopped him. If anyone would be scared, it's Cintron. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

I aint a big Margarito fan but i dont think he's a coward or that he's scared of Cintron! I picked Kermit to win there 1st fight foolishly:pat: but would probaby say Tony would win again in the rematch even tho Cintron is a better fighter now. But its not like he's gonna improve on that 1st performance, what he's doing is ok in my opinion

Why else would he be fighting Golden Johnson who already has 7 losses? Probably because he is scared to have a rematch with Kermit Cintron. It's most definately a tune up....and as stated previously the promoters want to ensure that he is good to go.

Scared to have a rematch with Kermit Cintron?...... AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA. Maybe scared that he'll kill him this time and then be arrested for murder.

It is funny how he (Margarito) goes from "the most feared man in boxing" to bum who fights other bums.

Is he? That would be a good fight, i consider Johnson more dangerous than Cintron, Johnson can be relentless. really now?

i don't think he is. he's a bad loser but not a coward. he should be allowed a tune up fight first and then can go on to the bigger fights

I find it laughable that some posters refer to Marg as a coward. The man fought two of the most avoided men in boxing in consecutive fights. Yeah ok, he may have come up short against Williams, but IMO he can still do serious damage at welterweight. People need to cut the guy a bit of slack.

The return of Antonio Margarito

i was always critical of Margarito but he stepped upto the plate to fight williams, had a lot to lose and not much to gain and it proved to be so TOny deserves one easy fight to get his confidence back

In terms of keeping him at 147 to feast on smaller fighers.....yea. Smart managing. The guy has fought at 154, got his ass beat and moved back down to 147. That's smart managing in terms of making a guy look better then he actually is. In reality he is a natural 154lb fighter. Other then that, no smart managing. The guy has been inactive and when he did fight he fought guys like Gomez who has 10 losses on a Top rank ppv. Didn't fight for months again and then fights Clottey........then he waits it out until he is forced to defend his title against his mandatory. Now he is fighting Golden Johnson.....Who????? Smart managing, I don't think so. You want to talk about fighters that dropped weight to compete with smaller fighters and like to point out Margarito. Yet Margarito started at 135. And guess what both Berto and Williams came down in weight to fight at welterweight. And Hopkins did the samething. So has Mosley you do remember he was fighting at 154 right and you know as an amature he fought at 139 pounds. As for Gomez he is the only fighter to KO, Kofi Jantuah which gave him such a high ranking. So high that even the Ring Magazine had Manuel Gomez ranked inside there top ten when Margarito faced Gomez. I dare you to find me another fighter the ko'd Janutah. I do aggree Margarito should me more active but what are you going to do. You ask who is Golden Johnson. Then i can call you kid. He is a top contender that has been around for a long time. Again in contender status which hell, you and me even if we are boxers may never reach contender status but who knows. Johnson fought Mosley and gave him a fair fight, before he ran out of gas. And as of lately knocked out, tko'd, a top prospect in Oscar Diaz was on a good winning streak. Which got him this fight here with Margarito. So don't think Golden Johnson isn't worthy of fighting Margarito, its just that Margarito is too good, is too big and hits to hard for Golden Johnson to hang with.

the tough welterweights that maywetaher has fought like mitchell bladomir and gatti were not available. keep supporting a real coward. Ring #9 Oktay Urkal doesn't have shit to do right now. Ring #7 Luis Collazo hasn't signed a fight for the future as of now. Ring #2 Paul Williams doesn't have a fight. But I'm sure Ring #unranked Golden Johnson would expose any of those 3 bums listed above.

margarito would be fighting a tougher opponent if all the cowards at wetlerweight werent so scared to fight him like your hero mayweather. you complain about his 7 losses when mayweather fought baldomir with 10 losses?? your an idiot. your forgetting 1 BIG detail, Baldomir was the recognized Champion at WW so Floyd HAD to run threw him for the belt, on top of that there were people actually giving Tata a chance in that fight. Margarito could have taken on someone in the likes of Collazo, Quintana or Julio he didn't have to take on such an outmatched foe if there is nothing more than just another W to gain from it, he may as well have given Joshua Clottey the rematch to clear up those broken hand doubts, he opts to face Golden Johnson who is tough in his own right but clearly not in the level of Margarito, Margarito can look phenomenal and destroy Johnson but who can't see that coming? Mayweather was just claiming his Welterweight title shot and the Champion was Carlos Baldomir which is no fault to him, it wasn't like Floyd went for an easy fight he was facing the Champion of his weight class for his crown.. for the record I ain't no Mayweather dickrider or nothing like that I'm just stating a fact about the comparison you made to Mayweather-Baldomir and Margarito-johnson.. 100

if he was a coward he wouldnt have takin the Paul Williams otto already set. Johnson is just a stay busy fight like everybody else gets idiot, and Johnson looked pretty good last time he fought.

margarito would be fighting a tougher opponent if all the cowards at wetlerweight werent so scared to fight him like your hero mayweather. you complain about his 7 losses when mayweather fought baldomir with 10 losses?? your an idiot. I'm sure that Golden Johnson was the very best opponent that would not fake stomach cancer to get out of fighting Margarito. Everyone with 6 losses or under fainted when they heard that they might have to fight Margarito. Speaking of padded records. Sorry baby doll, someone else's ass is going to be Margarito's target the night he fights Golden Johnson... he'll be back in yours the next night though.

the thing with margarito is that his real slow imo. but he does have power thats for sure. cotto or cintron should fight him next.

He beats Cotto. Already lost to Williams. He wont beat Mayweather or Mosley due to the fact that both wont fight him.

No one else for him to fight. Judah probably would have stepped in, but they dont have enough money to pay him. Johnson probably wont even make six figures. Most of the top guys will demand that. These PPV's have a budget. Lets just be glad that there is another big name fighting on the undercard. I think Arum is trying to get Marg a W on his recod so he can set up a fight with Cotto anyway. Maybe if Cotto loses and Margarito wins they can fight. That would be fine by me. I've been waiting to see Cotto bust his ass since they first started talking about that fight. I'm sure Arum would still make the fight even if Cotto won (greedy bastard). But either way, Margarito isn't going to win a legit title with guys like Cotto, Mosley, Mayweather and Williams at WW.
