Is Margarito the most overrated boxer in history?

[3punch]

What the **** are you talking about? When did I discredit Margarito's victory over Joshua Clottey or Cotto? Margarito has already loss a UD & his former belt to current WW titleholde Paul Williams. So how can you call him the best WW right now?

my first responce was to you. Please see the notes

I know you are trying to make a point, but...

My god, Lennox Lewis is much too god to take criticism of that nature.

It's only an opinion, not an exact science...

Is Marg overrated???.....NO!

[Scott9945]

no way homie.....Margarito is far from being the most overrated player in the game....you have that Ricky Hatton guy, you had Fernando Vargas, and a host of other clowns who NEVER won the BIG one but carried a big enough fan bases to keep them relevent! Margarito has actually beaten somebody in the P4P's top 10....Hatton beat an shot Kosta Tszyu after Tszyu had a LONG lay-off....thats Hatton's claim to fame.....Hatton is one of the most overrated athletes competing in any sport!!!

Tszyu had just come off a big KO win only seven months before the Hatton fight.

This is to HaterFree or any other person in here with a shread of intelligence left. You can't say anything negative about any mexicasn,puerto ricans, or asians even if what you are saying is true. They are better than us at everything. They took our country and made us a joke now. So you know everything they do in boxing is better than anything a white or black fighter does. Let me give you some examples of their greatness.

MAB lost to Junior Jones 2 times yet MAB is still better than Jones, Manny Pac beat MAB years after Jones did and now PAC is literally better than god now. De La Hoya lost to Whitaker a black man, Quartey a african black man, Mosely a black man 2 times, Sturm a white man, Hopkins a black man, and Mayweather a black man yet he is still better than all of them. He is america's golden boy yet the black fighters he lost against are nothing right? Margarito lost 5 times like you said and one of those loses came to Paul Williams a black man but i don't see people bringing up how great Paul Williams is. Paul Williams is just a joke who gets hated on right?

Go to a site like ********* and 99 percent of the fights they talk about are between hispanics or latinos. I guess white and black guys don't box anymore do we? I guess we are only good for taking care of them when they live off our country. Whoops i can't say that....i can't say anything anymore. What ever happened to freedom of speech in this country?

No..but that proves that I hit a soft spot when talkin about ur man Margarito..I didn't say accuracy wins fights..and all that "timing, knowing how to punch and when how and where"..that's bologna bro..you learn that in the amateurs..

This thread was made to question Margarito's skill and and how his fans overrate him..kinda like you do actually..and..IMO..again MY OPINION..His skill is mediocre at best..

And I'm sorry for liking skill and a cleaner ACCURATE punches..rather than a bunch of crammed-hoping-they-land-while-I-can-take-shots punches...

If its your opinion that Tonys skills are mediocre at best,


it doesn't say much for Cotto who lost to him

Tszyu had just come off a big KO win only seven months before the Hatton fight.

I watched a fight that advertised the Tszyu-Hatton fight and one of the commentators said he wondered how Tszyu would do after the longest lay-off of his career.....so I guess I got fed the wrong info... thanks for pointin' that out bro!

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.

no, Rocky Marciano is. Margarito beat cotto which is a better win than Marciano's best win.

It says he was hungrier...

You still think Margarito has more actual boxing skill than Cotto?...LMAO!

While 99.9% of fans and boxing experts still state that Cotto has a much better shot at beating someone like Mayweather?..So..Umm..What's that say about ur Culo-Buddy?..

Heart can overcome Skill..

It has happened, it still happens, and will always happen..just not all the time..
