What will be Margarito's LEGACY in boxing history?

you people can't get enough of Margarito huh??? You people?

Exactly! Cotto's career has been resurrected since the scandal. you people can't get enough of Margarito huh???

Controversial "win" over cotto. Exactly! Cotto's career has been resurrected since the scandal.

Margie never was special.....one fight doesn't make a career He's certainly not a HOF, even before the wrap scandal

I really do think the hand wraps scandal will be his enduring legacy. Perhaps it's unfair, but we're talking about sports fans, they don't care about fair. Truth is, we don't know when Margarito began using loaded wraps and we likely never will. That doubt will forever live in the fans conscious, tainting the Cotto fight, which was his crowning achievement that justified the aura that has defined him. If you assume that he only used the loaded wraps after the Paul Williams fight, you still get a pretty average career. What made him "special" was beating Cotto and this fight's proximity to the Mosley fight will leave most fans to question the validity of it.

In denial I see. Santos bitch slapped your bitch. :bottle: :bottle: :bottle: Yeah, if by bitch slapped you mean being butted and losing a hometown decision.

And what does that have to do with alleged illegal handwraps? In denial I see. Santos bitch slapped your bitch. :bottle: :bottle: :bottle:

That's all good..but what about Margarito's loss against Santos? And what does that have to do with alleged illegal handwraps?

That's all good..but what about Margarito's loss against Santos? I had Margarito ahead the time the stoppage came. Santos also butted the shit out of Margarito.

That's all good..but what about Margarito's loss against Santos? What about it? It was a very close fight that was stopped because of cuts?

Even Martinez admitted that he lost fairly because of inexperience. That fight was almost eight years ago and this shit is really weak. That's all good..but what about Margarito's loss against Santos?

I just watched Margarito vs. Martinez and Martinez dominated round one until Margarito hit him with a huge shot and changed the entire fight and all I could think was: plaster That may or may not be true in this fight, but the point is that's the first thing that came to my mind. People will question every win this guy has ever had. That is his legacy. Even Martinez admitted that he lost fairly because of inexperience. That fight was almost eight years ago and this shit is really weak.

Sorry but his career going down in flames ......... Oh I agree but I don't think he is beyond redemption especially in this day and age of wishy washy fans who hate a guy one min and then love him the next.

The hand wrap situation has ruined his career and made a lot of his wins questionable. I still think he whoops Cintron's ass though.

It all depends what he does in the ring. If he can't pound opponents into submission like he did before then I see his career going down in flames faster than shit going down a toilet. Sorry but his career going down in flames .........

I'm not sure that is enough to turn the courts of public opinion in the US (where it counts) No even close.....:bottle: It all depends what he does in the ring.

I agree with you there..all you have to do is look at every poll in this place and you will see that Margarito has no respect by the Majority. There are a few (HardCore Mexicans MOSTLY)thats "TALK LOUD" to get attention but reality is Margarito is 31. When will he be able to get a legit fight with a top guy? Do we all forget that he was "most feared"? Then disgraced and suspended. Then Beat down really bad. I don't know about nutthuggers but that adds up to working your way back up. Now will he get a chance from fighters that fear? Fighters that are disgraced by his actions? Fighters who feel they will get nothing from fighting him? you choose. Who's that Argentinian basketcase??? LOL.........great post.

Yet he still has a chance to make up for whatever he did wrong by not only Mexico but also the United States who's boxing commissions just may reinstate his license in a year. Go figure!

Do they watch current events? Do they know Margarito has been described the SCUM of the Earth? Yet he still has a chance to make up for whatever he did wrong by not only Mexico but also the United States who's boxing commissions just may reinstate his license in a year. Go figure!

Not here it aint..people talk about Margarito like there's no tommorrow... His career aint over yet... Do they watch current events? Do they know Margarito has been described the SCUM of the Earth?
