The big difference is that Margarito gave Williams a chance when nobody wanted to give Margarito a chance. And Margarito took Williams for granted and under estimated him.
Another thing. Margarito started the "most feared fighter at welterweight" after a few years, where Williams started his soon after his win over Margarito, ain't that some bull****!!!?!!! Once Williams is avoided for as many years as Margarito then he should use Margaritos old moniker.
You mean the WBO forced Margarito to give Williams a chance. Don't act like Margarito had lined this fight up and was looking forward to it... he was building to a Cotto fight.

Exactly. When someone turns down $8 million not to fight Paul Williams, maybe then we can call him feared.

The most feared man in boxing's son.
He could have dropped the belt to avoid Williams. He had a more lucrative fight lined up, but he fought Williams because he's a true warrior.

That's sad his whole career will be defined as the guy who offered Mayweather 8 Mill to fight him yet he didn't Capitalize on the fact that he was feared.
Although I hate Margarito because of Viva, I don't think he has ever claimed he was "the most feared man in boxing" that was more of an Arum concoction. Williams on the other hand is sulking in the "most feared" moniker and personally it is a good persona to have but it isn't getting you any more money.

The wbo didn't force Margarito, Goosen paying Margarito 1.5 million convinced Margarito and team not to take the Cotto fight which was going to pay less at the time and take the Williams fight. Margaritos biggest paycheck was agianst Williams. Goosen took a gamble and it worked out for him. Margarito took the fight and lost and it still worked out for him besides the 1.5 million because his name is still in everybodys mind and many people aggree that the Margarito v. Williams fight was a very close fight that could have gone either way.
