what was it about Margarito that made some of you think he was a threat to beat Money

The OP is a poor troll with a mundane personality and a yeast infection nice alt.....:twak:

My sentiments exactly. yea, but he was a monster, most feared.....only on planet Arum

We didn't think he was a threat but Floyd did. right, but he had no problem fighting bigger, BETTER, fighters? cool story bro and wait let me guess, he was scared of Pacquiao too right ?

We didn't think he was a threat but Floyd did.

Margarito is one of the most basic fighters I ever seen get turned into a boogeyman because a great campaign from his promoter and looking good beating just decent competition Margarito lost to every Elite fighter he stepped in the ring with....Cotto, Paul Williams, Mosley and Pacquaio...even lost to Daniel Santos smh and no name guys early in his career How was he gonna beat some one that was better than them....Mayweather is without a doubt the best of his generation and back then, their was no one even messing with pretty boy Floyd from 2004-2007 Cotto boxed his ears off until the bricks and fatigue played their part...Mayweather is better than Cotto in almost every era...until the 6 round I don't remember Margo taking a round Dude was a good fighter but the biggest hype job of my generation....they all look like boogeymen until they face elite guys....I hope GGG live up to the hype My sentiments exactly.

It just goes to show how much people who claim to be boxing fans will go out of their way to defend someone who was a known cheat in a game where people put their health on the line. He was caught not only cheating but then he was making excuses for it and laughing at the fact that he had got caught cheating. He was a nobody. If you take into account his style and how good he was without knowing he was a man with plaster in his gloves then he's a decent fighter. Yet people let their blind hatred for Floyd cloud their judgement so much that they will do anything to see him lose. Like root for a man who was caught cheating. Both Baldomir and Antonio were the exact same type of boxer, yet they call the fight with him a stinker

Margarito ?????? LMAO :lol1: :lol1: you guys should run with Tszyu at 140 that is a much cooler story bro seriously, how fkn desperate can you get ? Margarito ?? LMAO I know the timing wasn't quite right, and I know that Mayweather knocked out Tszyu's conqueror - Hatton..... but at least Tszyu was elite..... ..... Margaritoooooooo ???? :lol1: you guys need to stick with the "good", Castillo beat Mayweather, story..... and with the "weak", Mayweather ducked Tszyu, story..... because the Margarito story is absurd

Margarito ?????? LMAO :lol1: :lol1: you guys should run with Tszyu at 140 that is a much cooler story bro

"So what?" Lots of aggression/volume can land you decisions (including a lot of bad ones). I can certainly imagine 2 CJ Ross-like cards costing Floyd the match. against Mayweather, lots of aggression/volume gets you countered into submission and caught with flush right hands Margarito couldn't hit Mayweather with a handful of rice

I think the concern was that Floyd would hurt his hands. Around that time it was an issue for him.

For me 3 things attributed to that: Well, he beat Cotto into a bloody pulp when they fought in 2007 (pre wraps scandal), and of course, many fans that time believed that floyd is also ducking cotto, hence hyping that maybe Margarito can actually do more against him since he KOed Cotto. The way he fights also backed it up, for fans he was like the bigger badder version of Castillo which Floyd had a hard time with. Throws like a thousand punches. And also Floyd made it looked that way many times, when Margarito confronted Floyd for a fight he was obviously shooked, and didn't seem to know how to respond properly. (look the video up on youtube) Floyd would've found a way to beat margarito even before the wraps scandal had they fought, but certainly it really appeared that he was scared. Done by margo, media and also him. news flash all he and castillo had in common was being mexican......castillo was far more skilled than Margarito....they fought nothing a like....castillo actually had defensive skills, could cut off the ring and had a wide array of punches and counters....he also could fight inside and outside...margo fought one way

It would have been an interesting match up. Obviously a mismatch in terms of speed and skill, but it gets evened out to some degree with Margarito's size, strength, stamina and willingness to walk through punches. Back when Margarito and his hand wraps were in their prime, he was a threat.

dude, if these guys had absolute proof that he cheated in the cotto fight, they would have stripped him then... you take this stuff way too personal... Proof is one thing knowing he did it is another, that's the way the law works and the burden of proof allows a lot of guilty people to get away with things. You have Law and you have common sense can you prove he did not use loaded gloves no you cant , look at Cottos face for fck sake, take into account Margarito was caught red handed with loaded gloves and they banned him for that , and you say oh no he smashed Cottos face legit only he has never done that damage before or after, I believe he did it to Cotto and tried to do it to Mosley I think Cotto was the first time he used loaded gloves and he would have continued had he not been caught. Look at Cottos face and look at Billy Collins face they both got the same stamp on it. Lots of circumstantial evidence in this just lots, he did it to Cotto I have no doubts of that at all not one.

Im not interested in child games, we all know he cheated against Cotto his face tells the story, no one Margarito fought showed that damage before or after. He should have been banned for life its the greatest crime that can be committed to a boxer, Cotto could have been killed, he could have lost eyesight like Billy Collins did finally caused him to kill him self. Its a terrible crime against a fighter and you want count it as a big win . Im gone. dude, if these guys had absolute proof that he cheated in the cotto fight, they would have stripped him then... you take this stuff way too personal...

yes or no question, and you still tapdance...lol... ginger rogers, fred astaire, no you must be gregory hines, savion glover?...lmao 33 Loss 32–1 Mexico Antonio Margarito TKO 11 (12), 2:05 Jul 26, 2008 United States MGM Grand Garden Arena, Paradise, Nevada, U.S. Lost WBA welterweight title Im not interested in child games, we all know he cheated against Cotto his face tells the story, no one Margarito fought showed that damage before or after.

The circumstantial evidence and the way Cottos face broke to pieces like no other fight Margarito ever hit somebody in says to anybody with half a brain that he did it against Cotto. They banned him from boxing for loaded gloves work it out because after he was exposed he got beat and knocked out. yes or no question, and you still tapdance...lol... ginger rogers, fred astaire, no you must be gregory hines, savion glover?...lmao 33 Loss 32–1 Mexico Antonio Margarito TKO 11 (12), 2:05 Jul 26, 2008 United States MGM Grand Garden Arena, Paradise, Nevada, U.S. Lost WBA welterweight title
