why do people still underrate margarito?

[TRUE WARRIOR]

i see threads and polls saying margarito will lose to williams. why doesnt margarito still get the respect he deserves ? he destroyed cintron and beat a good fighter in clottey in his last fight. williams is just a prospect who hasnt beat anyone even close to top 10 material. margarito will beat williams and probably knock him out.

margarito is the same fighter that has been ducked and dodged by the best at 147 for the last few years. floyd mayweather would not fight this man for $8 million dollars because hes too good of a fighter. margarito deserves some respect for being possibly the best welterweight in the world.

1. Williams is black.
2. They want more fuel to add to the "Margarito don't deserve Floyd."

simple..

deserve a fight with floyd? that is just an excuse to duck margarito. no one else at 147 would turn down $8 million to fight margarito but mayweather.

I think alot of ppl on here OVERRATE him.

maybe floyd mayweather does because he obviously did not want to fight margarito.

No one really knows who Antonio Margarito is. They would probably think he was actually a drink. Try selling that PPV.

Who the **** is Cintron? and he was losing to Clottey up until Clottey injured his hand. Marg is decent at best but you guys make him out to be a monster saying everyone ducks him. Floyd fought the linear champ (baldy) for the same amount instead of fighting Marg who won a vacant belt.

Cintron is a current titleholder at welterweight. probably a better win than any of mayweather's wins at welterweight. clottey is a good fighter and i think people realize that now. if he got injured, well thats part of boxing and you have to fight through it.

floyd fought baldomir for the same money but margarito was calling mayweather out a year before and offering him the $8 million even in 2005. he chose to fight guys like mitchell and judah when he could have fought margarito for more money. i think that is the definition of ducking and fear.

Judging by the way he throws those slow plodding looping "Fight Night" haymakers that's definitely a possibility. Either that or he just flat out sucks.

Like I said Clottey was winning that fight before the injury, imagine if he didn't injure his hand we wouldn't even be talking about Marg right now.

I would like to see some proof of this. Floyd was with Top Rank then and you never even heard Marg's name mentioned in the same breath as Floyd. Marg was virtually unknown in 2006 (other than his delusional fans) let alone 2005 so there is no way in hell he or Arum could offer that kind of money then. Get your facts right.
