You guys are acting like Margarito has been overhyped and exposed.
I even saw a thread where the topic creater referred to Marg as "Unbeaten" and nobody corrected him.
You guys seem to be forgetting the his recent fights. Paul Williams put on a show to snatch a decision and Marg was getting DOMINATED by Joshua Clottey until the exact moment Clottey broke his hand.
So he has been beaten before, we know his weaknesses. I dont know why all you guys thought he was invincible.
It wasnt broken? Oh well I know he hurt it badly.
But who knows it could of been a coincidence that margarito started coming on at the exact moment it happened.
But seriously watch that fight......Clottly lands like tripple left hooks to Margaritos head.
People need to get something straight about that fight: Clottey is a frontrunner, and he did what frontrunners do. Margarito is a 12 round fighter, and he beat Clottey's ass. Clottey is not some top secret world beater, hes a good fighter with some very obvious mental weaknesses. Oh yeah, and he didnt brake his hand. Think of Zab Judah pre Cotto.
Anyway I agree with the thread starter to an extent. Although he had only lost close fights to huge guys in recent years, he was pretty clearly defeated by Santos and Williams. That said, people didnt think anyone could knock him out, and on that level he was exposed. Although I think the Cotto fight really might have had something to do with that.
I was teetering on the edge of being a margarito nuthugger, i realised that about round 6-7 when everyone was yelling "Mosely is kicking his ass" and I kept saying "Just wait, Just wait, this is what margarito does"
I love and still love watching margarito fight, however i need to research this wrap insert a bit more, cause if he purposefully cheated, then i'm over him as a fighter. Much in the way i'm over mosely as a fighter.
I feel exactly the same, EXACTLY. Margs toughness will always have a place for me but if the plaster of Paris shit turns out to be true......i'm done with him
clotteys hand wasn't broken......... I think Alot of people have fought well against margaritto but broke down mentally, eventually. Shane is very experienced and a very good fighter that stuck to the gameplan and reaped the reward.
yup thats exactly true, Cotto would have won the fight if he was mentally strong. Cotto just broke down because he was hitting Marg with everything and Marg keep coming. You must fight FIRE with FIRE against MArg, thats what Shane did....from the opening bell Shane was looking for the knockout and Shane kept punching, and punching, and punching
