Why do people think so highly of Antonio Margarito?

[bsrizpac]

Margarito gets himself into the best possible physical condition. Danny Williams doesn't. Does that register?

I mean I suppose that's a fair point but my counterpoint is that there about maybe one or two heavyweights in this era that get themselves in best possible condition. It's an underachieving class; the comparison is kinda dumb.

Since Holyfield, Tyson, Bowe, Lewis etc, that class is full of underachievers physically. I think you have to compare them as such.

For a heavyweight nowadays, Danny Williams got himself into good condition (maybe not right now since he's on the decline). Marg does the same thing for a WELTERWEIGHT.

Compare Marg's conditioning to Pacs.

Anton will NOT beat Cotto, I have it Cotto by late TKO
Quintana, Judah, Mosley all these fighters were suppose to be defeat Cotto but they all lost, People forget that Cotto gets BETTER with each fight, he's still only 27 and trust me he's training hard becasue he has a lot to lose, his undefeated record and not just that, he has a whole country on his back and that he's fighting for, it's not time to pass the torch yet, Cotto is still currently the best in PR, Margarito will be a tough fight but then again he already lost so he doesn't have as much pressure on him to win and besides Ant is getting a very good pay day. On July 26, all the doubters will become fans at the sight of Cotto breaking Margarito, all of Margarito's body advantages don't matter, he's an inside fighter he doesn't use his reach or height....And people need to stop discrediting titile holders, just cuz Oscar De La hoya bought the RING now he;s making it seem like the only champions are the Lineal Champs when they fight for that belt, **** Oscar...when you discredit title holders your putting down all the great fighters that fought for those belts..They're CHAMPIONS not title holders!

With the exception of Mosley being a slight fav, I believe Cotto was the the favorite in those three fights. I could be wrong.

The answer is because he is hispanic...we all know whatever is hispanic is always 100 times more important than being white or black right?Look how long it took Kelly Pavlik to get respect and some people still put him down.Look at how easy it was for Fernando Vargas to get respect or how Pac got respect for beating Barrera even though Junior Jones knocked out MAB years ago and never got the kind of respect Barrera or Pac Man gets.

[DeymarPR]

no , a lot of people were saying that Judah was too much of step up in class and that he was too fast for Cotto, Quintana, people were saying that he was too big for Cotto to hard of a fight for Cotto and a natural welter for Cotto to fight and Shane Mosley, well he's Shane Mosley enough said

Pacquiao's conditioning is outstanding, just like Margarito's. His focus, not so much. But Pacquiao is one of the top 5 in boxing so any comparison is flattering.
