Why are people discrediting Margarito?

[F-22 Raptor]

Did we forget that he was the ONLY welter to dare fight Williams, to fight Clottey, and he beat the **** out of Miguel Cotto....? It doesn't matter....hand wrap theories....it doesn't take away the fact that cotto hit him with bombs all night and he just smiled....yesterday...like the night quintana beat williams...just wasn't margarito's night. Sure, is Mosley the guy to beat at 147 now? YES, should Cotto go after that fight now? NO. For Cotto a rematch with Margarito has to be done...for him it's personal, he and everybody knows that he's not intimidated by Mosley psychologically, because he did beat him soundly after all, and in his own game...but it's pretty shameful how a lot of people have been taking away from Margs when he was the one who dethroned Cotto last year...just for an offnight, until the handwrap things remain under investigation we gotta give him benefit of the doubt.

Agreed. I still love Tony.

I'd pay to watch him again. He fights hard and is ALWAYS cool to watch.

He was smiling last night too.. until it became apparent that his unloaded gloves were not going to wear down Mosley like they had to others in the past..

yea because he is overrated and over hyped he beat cotto in a fight he seem to be losing he lost to williams and the clottey fight could of went either way margarito even has bad foot work. yea margarito fought clottey,cotto, and williams but besides williams margarito is clearly the biggest ww and he could not win a single round against shane mosley and got knocked out and his chin was supposed to be his best attribute

[MANGLER]

His past wins can't be discredited logically til we know for fact he was usin illegal wraps in those fights. But his haters don't give a ****, they got a new reason to hate so they're gonna.

A fighter can have an OFF NIGHT an still be LAUDED for all of his prior ACCOMPLISHMENTS.......BUT THE MERE THOUGHT OF CHEATING ("ALLEGED") Cast doubts on prior "ACCOMPLISHMENTS".

There were a few threads about Mosley being a "tune-up", and "Will you give credit to Margarito if he beats Mosley?" threads, all made by Margarito's most ardent backers.
Now, I predicted Margarito to beat Mosley by UD. I was wrong. Not the first time, and won't be the last time I'm wrong predicting a fight. That's what makes this sport so great. You never know.
