Is Margarito The Only Athlete Ever To Be Rated Higher Because He Cheated?

[TheMagicMan]

I mean seriously, I dont get it. I was a fan of margs, and I think he is most likely ******ed and probably didnt even know what was going on and was unaware he was cheating and just went along with what his trainer said. But still, this is a guy whose last real fight ended with him getting viciously beaten down by SSM. The same SSM now who is consider "over the hill" and "washed up." Etc.... Yet people act like somehows Margs should be fighting Floyd and Pac? This guy should be fighting on the undercard of a Paulie Malignaggi vs. Juan Diaz III bout. This is insane. Am I in a parallel universe? Didnt this guy get beat by SSM? Not just beat, destroyed?

Again, if he could prove himself in the ring by beating a good gatekeeper he could catapult back up, but this guy cant seriously be considered a contender for anything? I mean only possibly shoeless joe jackson has been more glorified for cheating.

Meanwhile a guy like Joe Calzaghe gets no respect, but Margarito is glorified for being a formerly B+ fighter who possibly cheated a majority of his career and recently get destroyed by SSM.

Felix Trinidad is another example although I read his cheating was somewhat less severe but still similar.

Tony never cheated
he got busted in his one attempt before he could do it
he isn't rated highly either
nobody regard Tony as ring legend
just one of the toughest around in his career

MUCH less severe.
I don't get why people think Tito's case should be mentioned in the same sentence as Margarito's attempt to kill SSM.

Was that something that he personally told you. That that was the first time he was attemting to cheat. Or is that just ur head inside ur ass

I regard him as a ring legend. And as an ATG.

Now what?

Is that you attempting to dodge a serious question? Oh no , thats u going into the old Cotto subject.

Cotto got whooped by a cheater. Margarito got whooped by past his prime ATG.

Since the Cotto-Marg fight. Who has earned more money.

And who also fought everybody in the ww division. Even with loss against that nobody. Cotto was still in position to fight the top dogs at ww. Isnt that some ****. And Margarito was hitting potato sacks in his country. Poor guy and poor fans
