    Why are people so high on X not fighting Margarito?

    So many people run their mouth about Floyd or Oscar not fighting Margarito but like come on man, Margarito was like a super nobody back then. The guy beat an old Randall, Cintron, and somehow turns into the boogeyman. People are nuts with Margacheato as a real threat to the top cats.

    Wouldn’t say he was a nobody, he was #1 (behind champion) at 147 for years.

    He did only became a big name after he beat Cotto, and then lost in his next fight brutally to Mosley.

        Thank you! Someone on here that remembers what really went down and not what they want to believe happened.

          Also beat Sergio Martinez, Cotto, and Clottey. All solid names. Fought Paul Williams when nobody wanted the smoke from him and won 4 rounds.
          He was rallying in the second half of the Cotto rematch until his injured eye from the Manny fight closed shut.

          He's not a nobody. Oscar knows who Margarito is. Everyone in 08 knows that the Pac fight Oscar made was cherrypicked. Instead of fighting Tony at that time. Floyd just didn't want to fight Margarito. Nothing wrong with that. Bad style for him.

            It's the only name Pac bois have

            As silly of a thought that it is, they swear May swerved him due to fear !!!!

            May beat
            DLH, Cotto (minus any controversy), Nelo, JMM (who took Pac to hell 4 times), Mosley (immediately after destroying the fake AF boogeyman) AND Pac ?(who turned the fake AF boogeyman's face into a horror movie)

            Of course May was scared

            Just 1 example of why Pac fans are the worst fan base in all of sports.

              Sergio was an ok W
              Cotto has a cloud of controversy hanging over it
              Clottey had very brief moments (barely plural).

              Margarito is a breathing punching bag who gets way more credit than he deserves.
              If ever a person didn't fight was a business decision.
              ''Hmmm. Do I give up 3x as much money fighting this punching bag so people in the future won't call me a ducker OR do I take on a more lucrative fight.....''

                Don't try and bullshet people on thiw board homie. Sergio was a nobody then and Cotto was well after the entire saga opf Floyd and Oscar. Clottey, come on dude, Clottey was always on the fringe. Williams was WAY later too. Trying to rewrite history, not here friend.

                  BUT BUT.... Margarito’s fight strategy was to injure his opponents hands by using his head as a battering ram towards the opponents fists.

                    Wrong about Cotto, he was near prime but Margs used loaded gloves.
