"Haterfree" appears to have some kind of obsession with Antonio Margarito. Out of his 17 threads made, 6 of them are about Margarito and the rest comprise of threads explaining how elite Black boxers are compared to other races.

What I find ironic is that here are 2 threads where is attempting to criticize boxing fans for discussing Floyd so much, yet this guy who is "free of hate" for some reason can't bring himself to talk about another fighter other than Antonio Margarito.

Now that's what I ****ing call getting

any fighter can be beaten. even your hero mayweather if he dared to fight the best. margarito will beat williams next year. and yes margarito is underrated because people have said for years hes a bum and now hes proven hes the best welterweight fighter and this aint no fluke like baldomir.

who's the chick in your avatar??

anyways,
mayweather has fought alot of the best fighters in many divisions. how will margarito beat williams?? what will margarito do different?? margarito is a good fighter but he can't bully big fighters and he usually loses to bigger fighters like a paul williams or a santos.. margarito is a top welter but he isnt the top welter because he still has not beaten williams.. p4p for years?? please!! like i said he's a good fighter but stop overrating him

im not hating but margarito never received the 'ideal career path/blueprint' that arum provided PBF, DLH, or Cotto...he fought his way into the limelight...he aint flashy, doesnt hype himself and most fighters with those types of fighters with those handicaps rarely get any spotlight in this day and age

yea he came up the hard way i can respect that.. so you're saying u dont respect fighters like floyd mayweather, oscar de la hoya, sugar ray leonard, etc because of the career path they chose?? they all fought great top fighters give them their props

I never said I don’t respect those guys…each one of those fighters has entertained me by risking their health and that’s an automatic pass in the respect dept for this fan…however, going back to my original point, it’s hard not to root for a fighter that wasn’t recruited straight out of the Olympics, brought along carefully and were put on the fast track to good paydays…Margarito is like that walk-on who was never drafted/recruited, and made the team…he isn’t overrated (original topic) just because people root for him

ok i can agree with that.. i think he gets overrated by some people because some people build him up to be like some kind of super hero or something.. but i guess that happens with every boxer and with some of their fans.. marg is a good fighter and one of the best in his division but i do not think he is the clear cut best in his division

Did you agree that Baldomir was the best welterweight when he got the belt from Judah?

u have to be a boxer, inorder to be an overrated boxer.

How was Floyd the top welter if the only guys he beat were Judah, Baldo and Hatton?

With 5 career losses Margarito has managed to hold alphabet titles in 1 division his entire career. He has no real amateur accomplishments. He has already been defeated by 1 of the other titleholders in the division. He is already 30 years old. But some would have us believe that he has had a greater career than future Hall of Famers like Oscar, Floyd, or even Joe Calzaghe & Roy Jones.

Is he the most overrated boxer in history. Guys like David Reid, Edison Miranda, Tommy Morrison were overrated but I think Margarito just might take 1st place.

Haterfree eh? interesting...

Threads like these make me wonder, man.

Margarito was underrated for many, many years. So he finally gets on the big stage, pulls off the Upset Of The Year in one of the most memorable fights of recent history so that makes him the most overrated fighter of all time.

Only on the boxingscene forums, I tell you.
