I Was Starting To Really Respect Antonio Margarito

[jdubb863]

I said way smaller, funny you didnt mention Lewis' height, in fact Margarito is taller than everyone he has beaten, put him against someone his size he has lost.

Lewis is 5'8 and has never fought under 147...so? Do you want them to make specific classes for height and weight?.....Cuase Im sure Williams has been taller than every man he beat too.

Margarito fought and beat the guy that Mayweather ducked.

You respect Mayweather for not having the balls to face the top challengers in the past 5 years, but lack respect for Margarito even though he tried to get a fight with Mayweather's best win (DLH) and has beaten better opposition at 147.

Mayweather's best win at 147 was Judah. Both Clottey and Cotto beat Judah in more impressive fashion, and Margarito has beaten both of them.

Go make a thread about PPV sales

It's hilarious when people say Mayweather ducked Cotto. If he ducked Cotto, Cotto is ducking Williams. Mayweather would destroy Cotto.

[Luciano]

Oh yeah i forgot him,

Lets just say this

Whoever he fights people will say he is ducking 2 others. (Williams, Clottey, Santos)

No. People will say he's avoiding Williams because he's the elephant in the room and the real number 1 WW who will fight anybody anytime

Did Margarito jump up 24 pounds past his starting weight in boxing? Until he does that dont ever hate on Floyd, you have no merit to and anyone who says Floyd didnt do such and such at welterweight knows nothing about boxing. Only a few have gone up and fought the best at a weight that much higher and none have continously did it.

HAHAHHAHAHAAHAH straight comedy right here .Is this guy serious?

If you want to step up in weight and claim to be the best, you should fight the best. You wanna step up in weight and fight guys who aren't the best? Fine, but STFU about how great you are.

Didn't you start a thread once saying 'Was Aaron Pryor good? I've never seen him fight'? Yeah OK, question my boxing knowledge once you've seen a fight that happened before 2007.

I don't hate Floyd, I just think your bias is ridiculous. Margarito has faced tougher challenges at 147 than Mayweather did. Spin it however you like, but it is what it is.

[Boofdatruth]

yeah he "picks his fights" which is why he fought williams in the first place. Remember, Williams turned down the rematch and is now going to fight the guy even YOU said was beating him untill he "hurt his hand". bunch of ****in hypocrites.

Williams didn't turn down any rematch, why would you lie like that? Don't even bring up the Margs article, because if you do, bring up Williams and Goosen's too.

Especially the way he dethroned Cotto, but like many fighters what I have come to understand about him is that he picks his fights just like everybody else does and will do whatever it takes to hold on to a belt. Margarito is no beast, he isnt most feared. In Margarito's eyes Williams and Santos are most feared. If not then why not avenge your losses instead of fighting guys you have already beaten? Makes no sense to me, other than the fact you may think you can get two belts by beating Clottey, who just may shock you again.

Margarito has been getting too much credit, if you want my respect back go fight either Williams or Santos instead of trying to milk your belt. You did that the first time by fighting guys like Johnson, Lewis and other no names who were WAY smaller than you, go fight in a weight class you belong in or fight Paul Williams, the man who has given you your best payday and continues to put food on you and your wife's table not to mention your little boy, do the right thing Tony.

Who cares if your not his fan. He has a 1,000 other fans with him

Not really the same situation, is it?

Im not bias at all, and I never started a thread about "Was Aaron Pryor Good" dont put words in my mouth, thats all people are good for on this board. The thread was does he belong in the HOF.
