    Margarito compared to Morales & Barrera

    It doesn't, does it? I've always heard how Margarito worked hard, and made his bones (on Cotto that is courtesy of POP). But the guy has indeed been through some scraps with good fighters. However, i believe many will fault me for even daring to make such camparisons between Marge and "El Terrible" and the "Baby-faced Assassin", and i'll be the first to call myself out. "Tijuana Tornado" is not a very good alias either, cuz no one really cares for Tijuana for starters (except college students), talk-less of any tornadoes it may experience....Compared to the other 2 legends, it don't rate, right?

    But what do you think? Should i be comparing him to the likes of JMM, or is that still /also a crime, in light of his cheating and subsequent suspension.

    I dont think so. Both Erik and Marco, are skillful fighters as well as warriors. Margarito was an ok fighter with one tough as nails chin.

    Chavez, Sanchez
    - Barrera, Morales, JMM
    - Castillo, Rafa, Izzy
    - Margarito

        Chava Sanchez above ALL!!..

        only thing Margarito has in common with those warriors..is the fact that he's Mexican..besides that..his skill is inferior to their level..and excitement level in fights IMO were just below Morales and MAB...

          "No One Really Cares About Tijuana"

          I think Morales might have something to say about that.

            Margarito is an OK fighter at best... but a Tough hombre!

                He is Librado Andrade with a size advantage. Good solid boxer but not a legend in anybody's mind except Miguel Cotto.
