"El Mero Guayo" Antonio Margarito

[Catherine]

If Margarito was a jokester what does that tell you about floyd who turned down an 8 million dollar payday against Margarito and Winky who turned down a 4 million dollar pay day?


Go and look at the Winky and Quartey fight, if your a hater, that fight gives you a lot of room to hate on either fighter. Especially Winky who picked on an old fighter and where both showed their defence was lacking, they used each other as a punching bag, go and talk about how awal both looked.

Winky is an "old" fighter as well though. He is 35. I am a relatively new boxing fan, but I was under the impression that 32-33 is retirement age for a lot of fighters.

it depends on the weight classes.

All Margarito proved last night is that he's a ****ing joke. He is awful and Clottey just flat out exposed Margarito as the most overrated fighter in boxing today...

Clottey dominated the early rounds because of one simple fact: Margarito throws wide, looping punches. Margarito was throwing his usual wide shots and Clottey, throwing the crisper, straighter punches, would counter Margarito easily or just beat him to the punch. Clottey isn't a fast puncher, but even he made Margarito look extremely slow last night. If Clottey hadn't broken his hand, he wins the fight going away. He was fighting a great fight.

One more thing we saw about Margarito is that he can't cut off the ring for ****. In round 10, Clottey ran around the whole time and Margarito just followed him like an idiot and was saying **** to him. He doesn't know how to cut off the ring. Mayweather would box circles around him for this reason alone.

And if you doubt that Clottey messed up his hand in the fourth round, look at the fact that Clottey was able to land the same clean punches he was landing early in the fight and there was no force behind them. In the early rounds, Margarito was rocked and stunned many times by Clottey's left hand. That never happened again from the fifth round on because there was no power behind that left hand. Margarito got lucky and if he fights Williams next he'll get dismantled...

Quartey is shop worn, Winky isn't and Winky had his hands full getting tagged by almost every punch Quartey threw. I knew Quartey was going to lose but i was rooting for him and he gave a great performane but lost.

Damn, you really are scared for floyd aren't you. See the fight again and you'll see Margarito also held back on his right hands becaues as he said after wards he may have sparianed his wrist.

Why don't you mention Clotteys defence, he showed great defence, the down side of this is that he was on defence the whole fight. If Clottey had a broken hand why was he still using the left hook? And why doon't you mention how Clottey wanted to quit round after round but his corner paid him no attention to his request.

Clottey ran in the 11the round i think it was, but when he was running, ask yourself this was he landing? No!

Floyd would have to get in harms way to land against Margarito, we already know Margarito will take one of floys punchs to land his own. And those body shots Margarito throws would break down floyd and floyd knows this, floyd had 8 million reasons to fight Margarito he chose not too.

This has nothing to do with Floyd Mayweather. It has everything to do with how Margarito looked last night against a top 15 welterweight to everyone who knows boxing. Margarito looked like a journeyman last night...

Yeah, Clottey had great defense last night. He had the same defense in the first four rounds and those are the rounds he was taking Margarito to school. He was countering effectively and he stunned Margarito at least 2 times. Margarito didn't buzz Clottey even once.

As far as Clottey still throwing the left hand, he did that on instinct. He is used to throwing the left hand whenever he sees the opportunity. If you had ever fought, you would know this. The difference was it had no power behind it. Clottey was still able to land some good shots in the later rounds on Margarito, but they had no effect because there was no power behind them. And when Clottey ran in the 10th round, why couldn't Margarito cut off the ring? He should take some notes from Cotto who cut off the ring beautifully against Quintana...

And one thing that is pissing me off is why is Margarito trying to act like a fake ass Mexican that only knows Spanish? He was born and raised in L.A. and he speaks perfect English, yet uses an interpreter like he doesn't understand. Margarito is a joke...

How much is Floyd getting paid against Dela Hoya? Money wise, PBF vs ODLH is more an attracative fight than PBF vs AG.

LOL, your a piece of dog ****. Seriously kid, you are too ignorant to know what the **** you are talking about. Margarito was born in America, but he was raised in Mexico, and he don't know english. The border line, makes him and I, American, but we both have Mexican parents are blood is still pure Mexican. When have you heard him speak perfect english, i'd like to see the interview. And most Mexican fighters try to learn a little bit of english, i just don't know if Margarito knows any. You're too ignorant to talk about Margarito. Just stick to the hating Margarito.

Clottey said he "broke" his hand and you think he would still through it if it was borken, yeah right. His hands was just bruised from how he raised his guard up to block the punchs and Margarito would just tee off on him so he got bruised hands thanks to Margarito and that high guard he had. Clottey was on defence all night long instead of fighting he was on defence from the 1st round on.

Clottey ran in one round, talk **** it Clottey ran for 12 and Margarito didn't cut off the ring once in the 12 round. Nowhere to hide in that ring, you can only run for so long before you have to stop to throw a punch.

8 millions dollars is what Mayweather turned down. And keep in mind NEWBIES, Margarito has looked worse, last night he looked good against a tough opponet.

True, floyd is getting more money to fight delahoya, but before delahoya is when a fight with margarito was offered. Floyd decided to turn down the money, becaues floyd was afraid to lose against Margarito.
