    Is Margarito the most overrated boxer in history?

    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.

    Is Haterfree the biggest hater in boxing scene history?
    He claims to be unbiased and not a hater but all he spews is hatred.

        No one thinks Margarito is great besides Mexicans. What do you expect from a population of people without any concept of education?

          i dont know about overrated but many fight fans can appreciate a boxer thay didnt get everything handed to them and actually put in hard work to achieve and earn their current status..


          he's entertaining to watch, no prima-donna antics and he's flawed...some fans can relate to those types of fighters more than the PBF's or the DLH's in the sport

            LOL!..

            I don't think he's over rated..it's just a phase right now..I mean he loses to Paul Williams..and goes on a "rampage" to KO some dude named Golden Johnson in 1 rd...beats Kermy again..knowin that dude has KO'd a bunch of nobodys as well..then gets the best of Cotto..and he's the top dog now..

            I mean this guy does have the heart of a Lion and won't stop pressing..but skill-wise and definsivley..he's mediocre at best..no offense to his lovers..He's a big WW as well as Paul Williams..so he's expected to dominate in this division..

            His next loss will put him back to where he's been most of his career...and that's..always tryin to prove a point..

              Claiming he is the most over rated boxer in history and claiming he has a better career when no one has said that..

              You can't even give him props for beating Clottey fair and square and Miguel Cotto.. not to mention being in a close fight with Williams.

              No one is saying he is the greatest ever.. he is the best welter right now though. He earned it this July and deserves credit for it. He did what some where afraid to do..

                Just goes to show how some black people are jealous of Margarito and doing everything in their power to discredit him.

                  How is he overrated? He just beat Miguel Cotto who was the undefeated number one guy in the division.
