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.

Originally posted by daggum View Postyea the dudes total garbage. sure he beat sergio martinez, clottey, cotto, cintron twice, andrew lewis, and other decent contenders for ten years, plus he should have got the decision in the rematch with daniel santos, and he gave paul williams a close fight. he's fought just about everyone around his division that would fight him. the linear punks like mayorga, spinks, judah, baldomir and mayweather all ducked him playing hot potato while never giving him a shot. other than that what has he done?

If Margarito was black and had above average handspeed his name would be Paul Williams. The same Williams who whooped his ass when he was green.
