Why doesn't Margarito Speak English?

[Contenders]

He was born in the USA, but moved back to Mexico at age 2 I think...so why would he speak English? So what if the majority of his fights are in the USA...there's plenty of people here that can translate for him without worries. He trains in East L.A. for God sakes! That's like 95% Hispanic! Then when he's all finished, he goes back to Tijuana.

I don't think learning English for crossover appeal has been a priority for him. Actually getting a big-name fighter to get in the ring with him so he can get his due respect takes that honor.

Who knows? Maybe if he keeps winning and building up his fanbase we might hear him say some words in English down the line. If not, who cares?!?!? It's not like the fighters you mentioned learned English before they got they're first marquee victory.

Do not Compare Margarito to trinidad and chavez ok.
He is not on their level.
Trinidad had class and was a likeable guy.

Ok, Im confused, why is Margarito not likeable?

youre right about Trinidad he was probably one of the most likable guys in boxing.... Larry Merchant once said that his smile is as big as Puerto Rico.

Although JCC is one of my favorite fighters, he was not that likeable to the general public. He made a ton of excuses whenever he didnt perform to his liking. He's the kind of fighter that when asked "In the 7th round you seemed hurt by a right hand, how did you survive that and come back to win?" He would say; "I was never hurt, I was in control the whole time" . When he lost, he made excuses, when he won controversially (several of his fights) he denied the possibility that he had really lost the fight.

yup thats why he sucks for boxing.
Cotto should of one this guy is a disrespectful ungrateful chicano.
He is an American but basically doesnt wanna give america honor for allowing him to make a living.
This guy is bad for boxing.

He's lived in Mexico for the past 28 years...started boxing and his pro career in Mexico. True, his big fights have been in the States, but he goes right back to TJ when he's done.

To be honest I don't care that he doesn't speak English.

So if you perceive a boxer as classy and likeable, they don't need to learn English? How convenient.

Gotta love double standards. Chavez for as great as he was, was an *******. Since he was the greatest Mexican fighter to come out of Mexico he gets a Hall monitor pass? please. btw, he's my fav all time boxer, but he is what he is a jerk to the public.

He was pretty nice in that interview with Margarito last time I saw him after the win, hugged and kissed Tony in the cheek like a son, how is he an ******* to the public?
