Antonio Margarito is a garbage fighter.

[any craic lad?]

If you think Margarito actually beat Clottey, you sure as hell didn't watch that fight.

No ofcourse he didnt he just threw a compubox record amount of punches 1675.Clottey won the first 4 then Tony took over simple as fight won on volume

he didn't need to watch the fight, it's on boxrec son

Let's hear it. He's slower than my Grandfather. He's a face-first brawler. Well, i can't think of anything else.

Margarito beat Clottey Cintron 2 Cotto probably beat Santos in the rematch brought Williams close after handing him the first 6.I agree he beat nobody and never did anything of note

If Margarito was black and had above average handspeed,he'd have been touted as the greatest thing since sliced bread.Instead,Margarito worked for everything he got,without being blessed with great physical capabilities.


Margarito came up the hard way.He didn't have time to go play pattycake in the amateurs with all the other future underachievers.



He did everything in his power to fight the recognizable names at 147 and 154 from 2003-2006.Every notable fighter from that time,in those weight classes,wanted absolutely nothing to do with this fearsome Mexican warrior.



The night Margarito beat Cotto into a bloody pulp was one of the greatest nights in the sports recent histoy.It was the night were the hard working,honest pro was finally given his due.All those years taking peanuts while learning his craft in the sport that he loved so dearly had been all worth it for just that one night.




Regardless of what the sheepish majority may think of Tony,he wll always have the respect of the true boxing fan.A true fan who believes dreams can be achieved through sheer determination and hard work.

Margs is a pretty decent fighter. A scumbag, but a decent fighter.

He fought everyone he could get his hands on. Cant say that about most guys.

You did not use a possibly controversial loss to Daniel Santos in your argument...thats so hilarious that I can't even laugh... Paul Williams whooped that ass by the way it was only close in the last 2 rounds. And don't bring up Sergio Martinez who was as green as a pickle when he fought Margarito. I can't stand fighters who try to make their name off of great fighters "Ducking" them. If guys are ducking you then beat all the guys that they could potentially fight. I know its not that simple but when your losing to Daniel Santos when trying to campaign against a guy who had cleared out two divisions well...to claim he's ducking you is BS IMO.

its not bull****. what do you call floyd taking much less money to fight guys like zab judah or sharmba mitchell instead of margarito? i thought it was all about the money to him well apparently not. margarito was the top ranked welterweight for 5 years. carlos baldomir was a journeyman who scored 1 upset win then faded into bolivian. it's clear who the much better fighter is. yea he lost a couple fights but he came back and beat good fighters time and time again. can't say the same for guys like judah or baldomir. so if anyone calls him a garbage fighter that makes those guys super garbage.
