I like how margarito guts his way to the top and now the haters come out!

I agree 100%...It hasn't even been a month since he beat Cotto and he's ducking Williams??? Its not like Margarito or Arum give a shit what people think but people should have some commonfuckin sense...At least wait till his next opponent is official...

The only people who hate Margarito are Mayweather fans. He exposed Mayweather as a coward... plain and basic common sense.

Remember Cotto was at the best shape of his career and he began his training 2 weeks earlier....damn margarito beat him down good..... A good point...........................

golden johnson, hercules kuevos top WW's???? c'monmang!!! he made his name through an intense hype machine. he got to the top when cotto gassed. kudos to him for outlasting cotto and going for the kill when cotto gassed. cotto ducked mayweather at 140. HAHAHA Cotto was not gassed he got the life beat out of him, look at the body shots he took when he was just head hunting for the KO. HE GASSED cotto if anything. Gassed is Hasim Rahman nowadays, Cotto was in SUPERIOR ELITE shape. He was just beat down!

gutted his way to the top??? he made his name off of calling out mayweather. he got lucky arum needed him for the mexico/PR rivalry against Cotto. he did good by making cotto quit tho. he never stopped believing in himself even after losing to williams. now lets see if he has the guts to get in the ring with williams again. Nah..guts is not the answer. He already fought Paulie to a close loss, I want to see him tangle with some other guys first than Paul W again

yeah having early losses in his career then going years with out losing at WW and actually fighting the top prime WW's (some undeafted) until finaly getting a big name undeafted top guy and STOPPING him.. when you take as many shots as Tony and you are still around to stop guys like Cotto thats gutting... :boxing: he made his name by fighting top WW's and BEING DUCKED BY MAYWEATHER then stopping the OTHER guy Floyd ducked............... golden johnson, hercules kuevos top WW's???? c'monmang!!! he made his name through an intense hype machine. he got to the top when cotto gassed. kudos to him for outlasting cotto and going for the kill when cotto gassed. cotto ducked mayweather at 140.

I don't know about you guys but Margarito has always been hated on. He's just one of those guys. its cause he's a limited fighter and a one trick pony. you got to give him a little credit tho for doin what he's done with what he got. he'll deserve even more credit if he can beat williams convincingly.

I mean the guy does not have nearly the skills or tools of ALOT of guys out thier but he reaches the pinnacle of boxing on hard work, determination and HEART and people are calling him a coward not to face Paul Williams. Give the guy a break, he just got here let him stay for a minute. Williams beat him yes but why is he a coward if he does not face him right now again. Should he just throw away the belt he worked his life for to silence some critics who probably have never even been popped in the nose before? Their are 10 other guys to fight who would make great fights and that he has a much better shot at. Styles make fights. Was George Foreman called a coward when he ducked Jerry Quarry his whole career, NO. Give Margarito his due he came up the ranks with sheer guts. Anyone who has something negative to say, put on some gloves and go a few rounds and train for a fight like he does for a week than come back and talk to me. Add that with the fact that you have inferior talent than your opponent and know you need to outwork and gut him. Good day gutted his way to the top??? he made his name off of calling out mayweather. he got lucky arum needed him for the mexico/PR rivalry against Cotto. he did good by making cotto quit tho. he never stopped believing in himself even after losing to williams. now lets see if he has the guts to get in the ring with williams again.

Margarito doesn't deserve to be hated on by anyone. Like you said, he worked his way to the top the old fashion way and is taking on all comers.

The word you were looking for is chin. John Ruiz is a guy who a belt using his head with absolutely nothing going for him in the physical department. Margarito being near the top is just a product of lucky genes. Got Knocked the fuck out....

how could you hate margarito he is a crowd pleasing banger with an iron skillet skull. I agree totally...Anyone who does not like him knows him or is not a legit boxing fan. He is the epitomy of a gutty fighter. Just like anyone who did not like Gatti.

The word you were looking for is chin. John Ruiz is a guy who a belt using his head with absolutely nothing going for him in the physical department. Margarito being near the top is just a product of lucky genes. yeah he has a great chin but he also is not as athletic as ALOT of his contemporary's and wins by stealing the heart of his opponent by being the bolder, braver tougher guy. This is not opinion it is fact!

Name those "lots of big names". Great, another fan who is ok with Margs looking for a money fight, and hiding his true feelings by feding us this load of garbage. Hey Boof if I remember correctly you banned me from your posts because you could not handle my criticism. It is my feeling that you are totally wrong here and have come down with a case of nuthuggin. I read your posts and you know your stuff but try and keep the emotional rhetorts to a minium and keep your status as a non-biased (for the most part) intelligent poster

Name a fight that the boxing fans want to see from margarito more than TM-PW 2. The promoters are not interested in catering to the boxing purists because there isn't enough of them. The fights the promoters want are those that interest the casual fans who will buy tickets. This is why Pavlik is not wasting his time defending his middleweight title. There are lots of big names in the welterweight division who will draw more fans than Williams.

No hate on Margarito here. I won 130000 e points on this site, and $600 cash betting on him in the Cotto fight.

His haters just hate him more now that he beat Cotto. Even if he rematches and beats Williams, they'll still hate him. Nothin he or any other fighter who's hated on can do about that shit.

Margarito came up the hard way beginning at age 15 and still gets hate. If you don't have respect for this man then you don't respect boxing period.
