Is Margarito the most overrated boxer in history?

[Scott9945]

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..

Now you're just outright lying by making up bull**** stats like that.

I was bein a lil sarcastic...

but I have yet to see anyone admire his skill besides his own fans..

Call that bull**** MR!

I would actually think that Margarito has a better shot at beating Mayweather to be honest. A boxer-puncher has never really given Mayweather that much trouble... a pressure fighter like Castillo did give Mayweather some trouble, and... Margarito definitely isn't going to stop punching, at any point.

That's just my personal opinion though. I don't think either would beat Money May.

I'll tell you what, I'll post a poll of who people think would have a better chance to beat Floyd. We'll let the results speak for itself.

I don't get into opinion "disputes"..but that is about the most inane thread starter I've read so far..of course I haven't been on this forum that long..so there may be others far more silly.

no concept of education? lmao! don't get on race jokes boy cus you don't want it.
Just goes to show how some black people are jealous of Margarito and doing everything in their power to discredit him.

Look, how can you comment on Margs when Cotto is the fighrer you rooted for to beat Margs? You like these little race threads. We don't need to hear your pathetic jokes on black folk. Nobody wants to see any of you guys thoughts on these types of threads. Act like a maqn.l You see lunacy, point it out, you don't have to indulge pusshead. Is Margs the most overrated fighter in history, hell no. Is he being overrated by many here? Yes! All fans respect Margs. Just don't pretend he isn't doing what Floyd was doing. Wait, why am I telling you, you qare a Cotto fan. lol

[Boofdatruth]

In boxing, talent means everything and nothing. Margs was landing just as much as Cotto. Who cares how good Cotto's punches or style looked. He lost.

[Boofdatruth]

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

You do know that you are disrespecting all Mexicans when you say this right? Why?

Well this is no excuse but,,,, Mayweather, for example, was born rich into a boxing family and grew up with the nicest things in the nicest country in the world. He started when he was so young and was raised and taught by pro boxers right in his very own family. He was polished sinced the day he was born.
Contrary to that, Margarito, yes, born in cali, was raised in Tijuana, one of the worst places in the world. Wasn't raised or taught by pro boxers, didn't go to the best gyms or have the nicest things, but grew up taking beatings from grown men and eventually learned from those beatings how to conquer his opponents with sheer heart, so he wasnt polished or taught early on the great boxing techniques like floyd was. He had to learn through beatings and pain. And sure today his skills do not even come close to floyds, but i would have the highest expectations of him to beat floyd with his pressure, power, and heart.
Back to floyd, he grew up having it all and having easy, never having felt pain. He fought for money, marg fought for survival. And up til july 25th, Cotto was talked about like he was the mother****er to beat floyd and u floyd fans can't say u didn't fear him deep down, on the 26th, suddenly after Marg beat him down like a dog, floyd fans immediately called him overrated.
'

Floyd fans just hate on Marg cuz they fear him and know it. Their only advantage over margarito fans is that floyd retired which means Margarito will never have the chance to defeat him so they continue to talk **** without the fear of being shut the **** up by Marg. Floyd retired undefeated with fear in his heart, while Margarito having five losses lives on with pride.

I stopped reading at "well this is no excuse but"

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.
