Using plain and basic common sense and adding a little deductive logic in the mix.

I'd say that resume lacks a lot of names which should have been there.

[DrewWoodside]

I think his pre welterweight years are adequate, but to be considered top 10 and such he would have needed to keep up that pace and competition level. He'll be considered a top 10 in potential. Sugar might one day say he is the biggest under achiever in the top 50

[Welter_Skelter]

He is an ATG talent......

He does not have the resume of an ATG... Arguably the best Boxer ever...
But only top 50 in terms of accomplishments.. And please dont give me the 6 belts in 5 divisions.. That used to matter when there was ONE or TWO Sanctioning Bodies and 8 weight classes today it does not compare

[-Swizzy-]

I say he is a lock for top 20 all-time.

Agreed. Under-performer.

[TopDawg]

Is Margo an all-time great, a top talent. HELL TO THE NAW!!!!!!!!!!!

[RichCCFC]

No, he needs Cotto and I think he will find that out soon.

I didnt realise we were talking about Margarito here... I do believe that makes your corn dog eating ass...a troll...

Your mom must be very proud of you..
