Margarito: "Maybe I Should Have Gone Straight to Cotto"

[AntonTheMeh]

Nobody had a problem with him until his promoter and fans hyped him up to be something he's not. If Arum came out and said Cotto was the most feared man in boxing, I'd understand why people would hate on him. That ****s annoying.

BINGO.........

[toe to toe]

Do we need to bring up his post-Baldomir fight interview???

what did he say??

[Super_Lightweight]

For you to get mad at someone based on what their hype boys say is silly. If that's the case, you should hate Floyd as well because his hype-men and fans say some ridiculous ****. In fact, many fighters have fans that do that.

Roy
Floyd
Klitschko

On and on...

I'm actually talking about Floyd Mayweather. Do you remember the way he went off like a ****ing clown on Larry Merchant? I mean, I know the old man can be a **** during his interviews, but since they were comparing Tony's and Floyd's post-fight antics, that particular interview reflected badly on Floyd.

Quoting another person that posted earlier, if Tony acted like an "*******" after his Williams fight, what did Floyd act like?

Whatever though, this topic is about Margarito. I just thought I'd bring it up since the comparison between the two was mentioned.

Nobody is getting mad, but on the other hand, somebody who isnt all that good is being presented to us like hes some uncrowned champion when his last 2 fights clearly show he struggling even with mid level competition like a up and comer like williams, and looking lackluster against an injured clottey who was handing him his ass until his injury.

1) Clottey wasn't 'handing him his ass', although he was winning.

2) Margarito was injured as well.

3) Williams is not 'mid-level' competition. If he was, he would never have beaten Margarito who was undefeated at 147 for over 7 years. Williams is rated top 5 at 147.

It's too bad really. Margarito should've never been hyped up to being something he's not. His work ethic and courage speak for themselves though as to the type of fighter he is.

He's a good, tough fighter who will give anybody a hell of a fight. The man deserved his title for as long as he had it 'cause he took on every fighter that was put in front of him to defend it against. Now, he'll probably do the same until he gets another shot...maybe against the Williams-Cintron winner. I'd much rather see him fight the winner of that than the winner of Mosely-Cotto.
