Why was HBO dogging Margarito during the Martinez fight?

Stop being hypocrites. The fact is that Margarito didnt fight this version of Martinez. When they fought, Martinez only had 16 fights and had only been in boxing for 4 years. Its just like Margarito isnt the same guy who lost early in his career and Pac isnt the same guy who got KO twice by nobodies.

You say that he has to beat Margarito to be a star but yet when Margarito hadnt fought nobody, you guys were still trying to call him a star. He's also definatly not scared of Margarito like the OP said. I just read a article where he says that he would love to fight Forrest next or a Margarito rematch. He gave Margarito respect for beating him but he said that he was just 4 years in and a rematch would be totally different.

Margarito only had a couple years more pro experience than Sergio at the time. Martinez was a much better boxer than Margarito then and probably still is now but that won't stop Tony from just walking through Sergio again and cracking him across the chin to lay him out.

That's the problem when you are a slick boxer with an average chin, power, & stamina. You may land 3 for every 1 that Margarito lands but in the end you will still get KTFO as he runs you into the ground.

However, his WBC title shot is long overdue and I fully expect him to outpoint an older fighter like Forrest when he gets his chance.

Stop acting like Margarito KO this guy. That would be like those guys who beat Margarito saying that they would still knock him out and he has to prove himself against them. Im not saying that Margarito wont beat him or even knock him out again but he didnt face this guy. Its just like the NFL when Strahan said that the Giants didnt play this Redskins team. They werent ready to play at a high level in game 1 but there kicking butt now. Its the same thing in this case. Also, I highly doubt that HBO was dissing Margarito. If there's anyone who's on Margarito's jock, its HBO. Please dont try to play them like there Margarito haters because no one is going to buy that

Nobody ever called Tony a star, just a very serious threat to any fighter at 147.
