still today people talk about the disgrace of Antonio Margarito

[MANGLER]

Maybe on here.. but have you ever talked boxing outside of this place?
I do and I do regularly. This is a boxing town after all.

I talk to other fight fans all the time. They don't obsess over **** like this. They don't give a **** anymore. They abandoned their respect for Marg and no no longer give a **** about the situation. If the subject of him comin back is brought up, of course we talk about who he may fight and such. But nobody sits around goin, "My god that bastard Margarito. What a lowlife. He cheated in the Cotto fight. He used plaster. He did dammit! Cotto is inhuman and can't lose fairly! Marg is scum!" Why? Cuz it's old and not worth bitchin about Sin. ******s on here gotta get over that ****.

I think the glove thing with Margarito is a little bit blown out of proportion. He is a dirty bastard since he tried that with Mosley. But there is still no proof of him doing it in other fights, just speculation.

I think Margarito is an exciting fighter inside the ring, but outside of it he is a fucking diva, and that's why I've got no use for the cat. He was willing to take less money to beat up on Cotto again instead of trying to settle his unfinished biz with P-Will. He also got his ass whipped by Shane for less money than he would've got for tangling with P-Will again.

that's not what I was saying.. you took it and made it something far beyond what I was saying. the question of whether plaster affected miguel cotto gets talked about regularly.
when margarito gets brought up, it isn't because we are talking about margarito. it is because people pose the question of whether it will effect cotto in the pacquiao fight.
& most people be it filipino, white, latin, whatever they may be believe margarito cheated.

But yet its ok for Paul to say no to the rematch when he wanted it right?? He's the dumbass who lost it against Quintana, which set him back. Even you know that loss did.

[KJB]

Shut up foo'. He didn't cheat ****.

He'll be back early next year. Why don't you go cry about it?

Its been stated several times that if he comes back, it will be at JMW. So basically, he is completely done as an elite fighter.

Watch Resto Collins, then watch Margarito Cotto, and tell me Tony didnt cheat.

we went out and talk to people about boxing, and suddenly people start taking about the disgrace of antonio Margarito, how this man win fights by cheating on boxers. Cintron, Cotto and almost on shane before he was stop by the authorities. the reality is that the opinion of people about this mexican boxer is so bad that i do not beleive he will never recover from this. if he fight again someday, i hope not, his fights will be maybe boycott. nobody in his right mind will buy a fight from a cheater fighter. Margarito should start another career, maybe selling hot dogs or mixing concrete in mexico. but not in boxing, he left a bad reputation in the boxing community

Yes. And will always do if Cotto continues to beat opponents and achieves some kind of ATG status. And will get interviews on the plaster issue even at 60 years old.

Unless Kneeguel Quitto fights him again and wins decisively.

Then, he will only get interviews.

My bad then Sin.

But in this context, no it won't. If Cotto gets beat by lil Pac at WW, t ain't cuz he got 'plastered.' It's cuz his stamina sucks and he couldn't finish the lil guy within 6 rds.

Margarito is an extremely high mileage, limited fighter. In his 30s and moving up to a new weight class. Margarito always got by being bigger than his opponents, and having an iron chin, and of course cheating. His chin is cracked, his opponents will be his size, and he wont get away with cheating. Margarito is finished at the top level.
