Antonio Margarito has become the most overrated fighter in boxing

[nozorok]

well he got his chance against Williams to prove a point and his poor performance against Clottey too.

So he did get ni the ring but didnt prove anything. He even didnt mention a re-match against Williams

Actually it's the other way around. He gave Williams his chance and blew it in the process costing him the Cotto fight. I give him credit for taking the more difficult fight and defending his belt. His team and Arum knew Williams was a bad style matchup for Margarito but it was the right thing to do and the upside was big as well with belt unification with Cotto etc.

Still Mayweather should have given Margarito his shot even though the odds would have been against Tony because that would have been the honorable thing to do.

Margerito is a bum...Yes sure he is a big Welterweight, because in all actuality he WAS a Jr middleweight then got his ass whipped repeatedly at that weght, and moved down to Welter. Has anyone ever heard of a fighter moving down in weight, so that they can be more competitive. Funny no one brings that up.

Also he did offer mayweather 8 mil..However mayweather at the time had fought Judah, and was being ridiculed for not fighting the champ who beat Judah..So what does he do,,he fights the man who earned the chance ot fight him n that ring. Baldomir....He also made 8mill for that fight, so I do not see what the point it about turning down the margerito fight hurt him any. I would be ****** for Maywethr to fight this bum who has had his chances, even at welteweight but he lost when he faced Williams. Plain and simple.

Moved down and sitll getting his ass whiped.

I'll help you out and ansewer your question, Shane Mosley, Bernard Hopkins, Andre Berto, Paul Williams, i'll have to add winky once he goes down in weight.

Rookie you're drowning yourself, ignorance, go read up about Margarito - Mayweather then come back and talk but don't act like you know everything with ignorance like this

Or you could just give me an easy access link, because apparantly it is common knowledge. 2 people have told me that it is so, and neither have given me a link. I am not saying I don't believe you (I have never said that in any of my posts), but I would like to see some sort of link.

Payday? You got it wrong dude. The purse is only a small part of what a fighter makes. PPV ratings are today an huge share of the spoils... At the stage Mayweather is he calls the shots and he fights whoever willbring the goods in for real. The Oscar fight was prolly the biggest challenge in his career yet people only remember Oscar was 34 vs 30 year old Mayweather. How unfair! How aout Mayweather making his debut as a 154 pounder, having started his career as a 130 pounder?? How about the ring's reduced size? How about the gloves' reduced size, all set by Oscar? How about Mayweather weighting in 148 pounds vs Oscar's 154 in the fight night? This was a huge risk for Mayweather. He did it because Oscar's a crowd favorite (i mean everyone likes Oscar even I) and he knew Oscar would bring the goods in (read ppvs and purse, whatnot..)

To people not named Xcaret and c'monman, Floyd Mayweather would be ridiculed and held in public disfavor if he fought a guy like Margarito. Boxing fans would take one look at this guy whose career was built around beating Cintron (who isn't what I'd call a top guy) and Antonio Diaz and be immediately turned off.

We have all of these pages in this thread yet not one Margarito supporter can explain why Margarito deserves a shot at Floyd Mayweather. They simply can't because Margarito, in the grand scheme of things compared to the elites, hasn't accomplished anything of note other than picking up a vacated belt.

reading this thread it amazes me how people want to discredit margarito as some bum. Like he did not exist before 2006. Weather you guys want to admit it or not margarito was deserving of a shot to the undisputed welter champ it didnt matter who it was mayweather, judah, baldo, at that time. he has been the longest rank welter in the top ten and has defeated the most top ten contenders (the ring rankings) than anyone else in the division.

he lost to williams now hes got to climb his way back to the top.

he has been turned down by mosely, mayweather, they chose not to fight him risk versus reward if that doesnt tell you something you are an idiot
or someone who hates margarito because some of his delusional fans, samething can be said about floyd im sure his crazy fans that defend him at every turn have turned once floyd fans to dislike him (it did for me)

the burden is on floyd (not you fans)to defend his championship at welter against the most deserving challenger

why should he fight someone he already know he is going to win? I dont know probably because its his job. why do you think he fought mitchell, bruseles, baldo?

What surprise me most what length people will go to defend their favorite fighter. They lose all common sense. Margarito was the #1 rank contender and he doesnt deserve to be in the ring with floyd,and now cotto (in future williams) but you floyd boys will say that cotto doesnt deserve to be in the ring with him

Well who the **** does!

Nobody I guess right.
floyd is only the champ in boxing deepest division yet their is no one deserving enough to be in the ring with floyd
