Margarito never was good, he was only ranked highly by Pac fans.
He was used as a Pond to bash Floyd Mayweather so they can say "Mayweather" was ducking someone + to defend Manny fighting him.
WTF? When did you start following boxing? It wouldn't hurt to do a little research.
I started around 1995.
It's not a boxing knowledge test.
Just asking opinions about how he ranks against other Popular Mexican boxers?
Is this a crime?
i get weird looks as a half black guy who idolizes antonio margarito. he reminded me of my favorite character of my favorite show, tony soprano of the sopranos. dude was a giant bully who no one could fvck wit. he literally had no fvcks to be given and i loved that about him.
And the last person to beat his a$$ was? you guessed it a Puerto Rican.
Lol..
I just have the juanma fights etched into my brain... Those were epic slugfests
....he might be the Puerto Rican boogie man...besides that....not in the top 100.

I would say it's orlando salido that is the Rican boogeyman
Very low...
He is nowhere near the class of Sanchez, chavez, morales, barrera, marquez
There have been hundreds of margarito level fighters over the decades come out of Mexico..

I can't say he cheated in any of his other fights. But put it this way:
Once he got caught trying to cheat against Mosley, he was retired within four fights (including the Mosley fight).
Assuming he never cheated in any other fight, he still was never really that good and probably wouldn't have had the success he did had he fought in the weight classes he really belonged in.
IMO, he started to really decline during the Cintron 2, Cotto 1 fights. Even though he won, he took some serious leather in both those fights.
Also I believe he partied way too much after the Cotto win. He was touring gaining lots of weight, then had the Moseley fight. He lost the fight during training since it was just a weight loss clinic
Man, TM was the last real fighter I really rooted for. The way he was trash talking Clottey in the second half of the fight was great. He took on everyone that would enter the ring with him. When everyone didn't have the balls to fight Paul Williams, TM stepped up. He started too slow, he owned Paul the last few rounds.
Still can't fathom if he used plaster all the time, why didn't it get found sooner..?
The beating he took from the mighty Afrikan, Sugar Shane Mosley is still one of the most epic beatdowns of all time.
Very true.

PWILL
PACQUIAO
Mosley
Daniel santos 2x
Margarito landed more punches vs Cotto with the weight of the plaster? No, the difference wasn't anything to do with plaster, it was because Cotto used hugging to prevent the same result. Margarito's strengths were his amazing chin and stamina but he did lose to Williams and Santos so he had some serious deficiencies.
