Just watched an Tony Margarito career set

[F l i c k e r]

And who says they are, they are still really good fighters though.

But the fact remains that he's still a top level fighter in one of the best divisions in boxing. He also became the Number 1 WW when many considered the WW division to be the most challenging AND HE FOUGHT 1-5. What person that is overrated does that?? I'll wait.

You just revealed him for the Alt that he is.

Dude, epic avatar.

Even before the plaster scandal I always thought he was nothing special. In general I like the old school type fighters that always come forward. But Margarito is so one dimensional. His defense is his chin. He's probably the slowest WW there is both hand and foot. He can't counterpunch. He seriously fights like Rocky in the movies, trade punches until the other guy goes down caveman style.

Margarito with PLASTER is King Kong
Margarito without PLASTER is Ding Dong.

Plain and basic common sense

Actually Cotto fought a good fight considering that Margs took away one of his best weapons which is the left hook to the body. Cotto didn't clinch(probably cause it was hard due to Tony's size) and stayed on the ropes too long.

Cotto fought good considering he was getting hit with plaster.

He was an exciting fighter to watch, but never great technically. It will be interesting to see how well he does in the WW division when he finally returns. Has there been any info revealed on the blood stain on his wraps yet?

Not to mention the fact that he probably cheated his way to that #1 in one win.

how did you know what he meant? you barely signed up a few days ago with 40 something posts and you already know what an alt is on these forums and what a cotto stan is.

Seriously I think dude is mad-overrated. I'm Mexican and I got the set because I was a fan of his. When it was all said and done he is grossly overrated. First he starts off losing 3 times early. Getting outboxed but then he fought guys like Danny Perez in Solo Boxeo type fights and fights like those struggling with Danny Perez. He then stepped up to fight Santos and was on his way to getting beat before a cut in the first. He then fought Antonio Diaz and had a very close fight with him (where in areas Mosley had annihilated Diaz by that time). He then went back to fighting Solo Boxeo type opponents even rematching Perez again and fighting stiffs. He then returned to PR to fight Santos again and was decisioned by a fat lazy Daniel Santos. Now here comes the part where his career started to take off. He took advantage of a really weak WW division fighting guys who where in the top ten like S. Lujan and Gomez. He then fought a the rated #2 Cintron according to The Ring and beat him senseless. Then he made him self the top WW in a weak division. He lost to Williams by the time guys like Mosley and Cotto and Berto were taking over the division. He then came back and fought a guy he had already beat, fought Cotto, was getting his ass beat before he stopped him. I thought he cheated. So then he takes on his toughes fight since Williams in Mosley and gets brutally exposed.

In the end I wasn't impressed by him and he string of good luck taking over weak WW division (and not to mention he probably cheated) I used to like him even after the plaster scandal, but then I reviewed his career and he is nothing special.

That's why I think Marg is such an amazing story for the same reason you just said. If you look at Marg he has no physical skills, all he is is a tough SOB. To make it where he has, from he has come from, is amazing.

Nobody gave him a chance to do anything. He became a world champion and that says a lot.

Loading his gloves says a lot too.
