I was reading these posts and I was going crazy. I'm hearing things like "Margarito is the best welterweight" and "Trinidad doesn't have enough power to faze him." Then I realized that this bs was before the fight. All the Marg nuthuggers have all committed suicide as they were forced to face the truth.
For each day this guy remains on ESPN's payroll they are losing credibility...
Margarito is the most limited fighter I ever seen..And this writer needs to
Issue a PUBLIC apology to Oscar De La Hoya, Tito, and any other great fighter that he disrespected with this Article...Because this is the worst piece of shit article I ever read in my life. TERRIBLE...!!!
Margarito couldnt beat a flat footed 37 year old mosely, but he is beating atg greats in their primes????
ESPN fire this clown..!!
This article is ridiculous.
Come on a prime DLH schools Margarito.
A prime Trinidad makes Margarito thinks twice.
Wilfredo schools him too.
Come on they picked Margarito to beat ALL three? are they stupid?
They realize Margarito is not UNDEFEATED right? he has lost 5 times. 5 times people open your eyes.
Trinidad, DLH, Wilfredo would beat Santos. The three would also beat Paul Williams as well.
Come on, Mosley in his prime beats Margarito. sheesh, it's ridiculous.
I think Cotto would disagree with you about writing Marg off because of his 5 losses.
It's only been a few months since Margarito hit the big time with the Cotto win, all this all-time talk is way too premature. If Margarito dominates Mosley, beats Cotto again and goes undefeated the rest of the year (hopefully beating Clottey or Williams in the process), then maybe we can start talking his all-time status. But right now he doesn't have enough big names on his record. That being said, I do think Marg beats DLH. Not sure about Trinidad yet though.
except for the highlighted sentence, I agree in toto....

lol at everyone saying DLH beats Tony.
Is that why he used him as a sparring partner and never fought him?
Don't forget, he picked a fight with Manny at 147.

man u mexicans get owned easily.
Stupid article.. reminds me of that rocky movie. No one will ever know.. If u put any of them in the ring, they all have a strong chance of winning. To say that Tito would Kill Margs, or DLH would get winded and lose by a late KO is all speculation..
Who knows if Tito could stay in there with Margs or Basilio..
It's dumb, just enjoy the present

I would take a prime DLH and Trinidad over Margarito anyday.
Word.
Margarito is a BMF but there are a lot of guys who would have beat him a generation ago.
Benitez would have made Margarito look bad. As to Tito and Oscar, those would both be sensational fights. Margarito is much better than Campas overall, but without the big eraser, and he and Tito would be worth drooling over.
Tito and Oscar were big ww's I dont see Margarito over powering them as easily as other ww's,but,they all have their advantages,so it would have been great to see!!
Marg might catch up to a prime DLH in the late rounds.....DLH was never a 12 round fighter and some where during the dance where Oscar starts to fade I think Marg can get him......with Tito it would be a war that Marg would lose....just my opinion.
mind as well be own by the US. if you guys come over here and ask for money.
plus puerto rico got more miss universe than mexico and in boxing we beat mexico in title fights
Mexico>>>>>Puerto Rico :chomp:

US To Give Mexico $1 Billion For The 'Increasingly Violent' War On Drugs
The US intends to supply Mexico with a $1bn aid package to help combat an increasingly costly and violent war against drugs, according to a top Mexican diplomat.
The agreement, which some experts have dubbed "Plan Mexico" after the controversial multi-billion-dollar anti-narcotics package that the US established with Colombia in 2000, would be spread over two years and include the supply of intelligence, training and equipment such as helicopters and boats.

Amnesty International Joins Opposition to Bush's Merida Initiative
Michael Webster: Investigative Reporter May 13, 2008 3:00 PM PST
Left and right appear to unite to oppose Mexico foreign policy scheme by oppossing the President's failing "Merida Initiative" to pony up $1.4 Billion in American taxes to help Mexico with military aid to Mexico's corrupt police and military forces whom are also implicated in widespread human rights violations grew with Amnesty International issuing the following statement to Congress today.
"Aid for Mexico must not be a blank check for Mexican security forces that have been implicated in crimes like rape and torture," said Larry Cox, executive director of Amnesty International USA (AIUSA). Amnesty International said that any initiative to support Mexico's fight against drug cartels and organized crime must focus on the rule of law and should also press for justice in the un-resolved killing of U.S. journalist Bradley Roland Will, and other civilians, in Oaxaca in 2006.
"We are encouraged by Amnesty International's recognition of human rights abuses by Mexican forces." said Robert Jereski of Friends of Brad Will. "But, we hope for more from human rights organizations, when top labor unions oppose outright this dangerous scheme.""
"Authorizing assistance for the security forces without requiring human rights violators to be punished and ensuring that basic freedoms are protected would further undermine the rule of law in Mexico," said Renata Rendón, advocacy director for the Americas at AIUSA. "American taxpayers should not foot the bill for military and police forces with histories of abuse ..."
"We do not believe "human rights safeguards" are adequate." said Harry Bubbins, of Friends of Brad Will "Given the outstanding crimes by Mexico, including the murder of U.S. reporter Brad Will, we need to see actual progress on these cases. Military aid now would only reward impunity." added Mr. Bubbins.
Even Republicans oppose aid
Rep. John Culberson, R-Houston, said he opposed providing the assistance to Mexico. "These resources should go to our own law enforcement officers rather than Mexico's," Culberson said. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, opposes including the funds in the Iraq war supplemental. Coryn believes additional funding requests should be reviewed on their merits through the normal appropriations process, a position advanced by Friends of Brad Will since 2007.
If Congress were to rubber stamp this scheme in the President's waning days, U.S. foreign policy options would be severely curtailed for decades to come. The Merida Initiative would arm unaccountable, corrupt and brutal military and police; contribute to the erosion of civil liberties in one of our largest trading partners; increase violence and instability in Mexico; and waste U.S. taxpayer money to benefit a few connected military contractors, like Blackwater.
The U.S. Government believes that a major step forward to fight narcotics and organized crime in the world is the Merida Initiative, a cooperative security partnership between the United States, Mexico, and Central America. The question is will it work in the war on drugs and terror? The more than four decades of the fight on the war on drugs has been a dismal and total failure. That fight has costs Americans at the federal level, approximately $4.5 billion every year (40 years X 4.5 Billion = $180 Billion plus) and significant sums are also spent at the city, county and state levels as well.
Editors note: Friends of Brad Will is a nationwide network of activists, friends and family members of Brad Will, the U.S. journalist who was murdered by Mexican government paramilitaries in broad daylight in Oaxaca, Mexico in October 2006. Despite numerous eye witnesses and photographic/video evidence, no one has been held accountable. Friends of Brad Will has been educating, organizing, and pressuring the U.S. government to work on behalf of Brad Will and to reject the Merida Initiative. http://friendsofbradwill.org/
