Antonio Margarito respect thread

He certainly gained my respect after beating Cotto. Not that he has the best skills but whatever, the guy works his ass off to make the 147 limit so cheers to him, even if he's fighting smaller fighters like Cotto and having that advantge for himslef he complied with the rules, you must make the 147 limit one day befor the fight so no one can hold that against him.

saw the epic with Cotto. what a tenacious fighter.

hell yeah margarito def. gets my respect,the cotto fight was the shit

Margarito is a beast! This guy deserves much respect. On the other hand, you have to give Mosley big props for taking this fight! Both men have built their careers on fighting the best and taking on all comers. I wish we had more fighters with their heart! Prediction...Margarito. Margarito is like the Terminator...the man won't stop coming after you until he wipes you out! marg will get more respect once he avenges his loss to williams like a true mexican warrior.

I respect him losing like an undignified champion against Williams and sooking and not wanting a rematch. I also respect him not mentioning Williams’s name. I also respect him fighting a shot fighter for money. You should respect him for doing what he did to the man in your avatar.

respect for the tornado and you sir

you know me my dude.i root for my favorite fighter 100% but when credit is due,u just have to. look for my hopkins thread,you'll be shock. I'm going to look that up right now.

Good shit Napo, I knew you were always a respectable dude. And you're probably right about Marg losing soon too. I think he'll take Shane, but if Shane is able to fight Marg at all like he did Cotto, Shane wins. you know me my dude.i root for my favorite fighter 100% but when credit is due,u just have to. look for my hopkins thread,you'll be shock.

You miss 'em? Or are you glad to have the break? Be honest. ;) She thinks Cotto is cuter. Cotto is the cutest, most talented fighter in the world in her eyes. She thinks Marg looks like shit in the ring, but that he cleans up well in pics like this. http://www.antoniomargarito.com/images/margarito-tomatencioandbike.jpg same with my girl,mom,and 2 sisters cotto is the cutest for them. cotto gets good ass in PR.

Well I have been without the family here in Canada for 5 months now.. so I have mostly been acting single.. That's why I haven't been around much.. But they get here early December.. so I guess I will be on more often then.. You miss 'em? Or are you glad to have the break? Be honest. ;) she thought Marg was cute??lol, most of the girls in my house were saying that he looked like a dog.....then again they were all rooting for Cotto, for some reason Cotto is close to being a 2nd DLH...

That's a great way to put it Welt. :lol1: How you been man? Haven't see you around as much lately, though I've been pretty inactive myself.

No, she just looked shocked. She watches boxing with me, but really only likes Cotto. She thinks he's amazing in there. And I mentioned to her earlier that night before the fight to not be surprised if Cotto got knocked out, she laughed. She pretty much hates Margarito these days. But she thinks he's cute. :lol1: She thinks Cotto will win the rematch. She hates Hopkins (my favorite) and expected Kelly to KO him. :lol1: She knows fuck all about this sport, but she's a casual fan. she thought Marg was cute??lol, most of the girls in my house were saying that he looked like a dog.....then again they were all rooting for Cotto, for some reason Cotto is close to being a 2nd DLH...

My theory on Margarito has always been.. "If you can't keep him off you.. You are fucked" Margarito is probably the best example of a fighter I have huge respect for..without really being a fan or an anti-fan That's a great way to put it Welt. :lol1: How you been man? Haven't see you around as much lately, though I've been pretty inactive myself.

This guy doesn't seem to get much respect around here, aside from his Mexican compatriots. Most people like to shit on him because he lacks technical polish and skill. But this is a man who is deserving of our respect. I don't think anybody in their right mind would ever call Margarito a tactical fighter or an "All Time Great", Jim Lampley sumed it up best when he called Tony a "high class brawler" and said "he knows how to box, he'd just rather fight". Tony reminds me of a working class throwback fighter from the late 50's or early 60's, something of a modern day LaMotta. (Though I know there is no comparison in terms of record, so don't jump my ass.) Even in the face of serious setback (such as the loss to Williams), tons of negative criticism, and never having gotten the top billing until recently, Tony continues to march forward and fight his way back into the mix. And that to me is something that is really respectable. And that chin? Did I mention this guy's unbelievable ability to take a punch? How does he do it? Honestly I think Margarito has one of the best chins in the history of the sport, and certainly one of the best of the last 25 years. He smiles at you when you land bombs. So post in here and show your respect for Tony. He may not be the most skill man in the ring these days but he's given us a fair share of exciting moments in the ring. Whether it was damn near knocking off Lujan's ear, beating Cintron back into the fetal position for the second time, or giving us one of the best come from behind victories in recent years against Cotto in a modern boxing classic. My theory on Margarito has always been.. "If you can't keep him off you.. You are fucked" Margarito is probably the best example of a fighter I have huge respect for..without really being a fan or an anti-fan

It was off how surprised everyone was on the board when margarito stopped cotto. All us margarito fans were saying what he was capable of but i guess you all ignored it and Margarito bit everyone on their ass. Be honest people, you want to see him fail. Most people do for some reason. I've got nothing but respect for the man myself. And I'm not even 1% Mexican, I just know how to call a spade a spade.

My girlfriend is a huge Cotto fan and watched that fight with me in shock of tony's ability to take it clean on the chin. She hates him now of course, she thinks he's got one of those "Terminator" type endoskeletons under his skin. Lol, So do most of my girl cousins......so did your GF jump on you when Cotto lost? No, she just looked shocked. She watches boxing with me, but really only likes Cotto. She thinks he's amazing in there. And I mentioned to her earlier that night before the fight to not be surprised if Cotto got knocked out, she laughed. She pretty much hates Margarito these days.

the source of Margo's power is his Mexi Mullet. Cut that, and he is no more than a sparring partner.
