    even in hindsight you can't CLEARLY say margo was the best fighter. why?

    1) plaster (although unprovable, the su****ion remains)
    2) cotto was outboxing margo easily. who know what a slick boxer like spinks would've done to margo. spinks went up to 154 and won a belt. margo couldn't even beat santos and was kicked back down to 147 lbs.
    why is the wbo the worst? whats the difference they are all crap. if you have 4 pieces of **** do you really analyze which nugget is the best?

    margarito proved he was the best when he beat cintron, clottey, cotto, and fought williams tough. it's margarito's fault judah and spinks wouldn't fight the number 1 contender? spinks and judah's only good wins are over each other which doesn't make them dominant welters.

            but why these guys are living in the past when its obvious all of these figths will happen now....is beyond me
            It's all good and clear now.

            And while i'll agreed with you on your statement about never being mentioned by Arum i must add to that, the fact that PBF was and still is having huge differences with Arum and it's almost impossible for them to negotiate a fight.

                i knew he existed, cause ima fan of the sport of boxing.....have been b4 margarito...will continue to be after Margarito

                and talkingabout Margarito is pointless.

                how can u be a fan of the sport and condone cheating?

                  Oh, your talking about Antonio Margarito...... Wasn't sure
                  because Cotto has been winning vacant titles since day
                  one.
                  Yeah, Cotto has won vacant titles but he has put them on the line against the toughest oponents out there and has been able to come out with a victory (besides Margarito and the plaser cloud over that defeat).

                  I have said this before, "in this era of boxing, with 4 or more titles per division any mediocre or class B fighter can become a champ at the right moment.

                  What a better example than Cotto and Baldomir. Cotto has never been an undisputed champion while Baldomir has, however if Cotto's career ends today, he will have a much better resume and will be considered higher level boxer than Baldomir, in boxing history.

                    i'm not a fan of margarito. i'm just telling you "facts". you aren't undisputed(no matter what the wba and ibf say) if you haven't fought the number 1 welterweight who had the wbo title. that was margarito.

                      its useless. they are more impressed winning the wba title off some bum like mickey rodriguez then fighting mosley or clottey.
