Why are people underestimating Margarito?

Why are People underestimating Margarito??????Maybe because he was found with illegal handwraps???????....idk

[Brockton Lip]

You mean the "don't use plaster" style as opposed to Tony's old "use plaster" style?

I shouldn't have to explain this. He was only caught before the Mosley fight, so as a fan predicting fights, itd be foolish to predict that he sucks purely on that. For all we know, he could've legally destroyed Cotto, Cintron, and most of his other opponents. And he still has other dangerous qualities besides power. If people bet all their money on Cotto to win a rematch with Margs and Margs does the same thing again, then they're going to look like complete idiots. All I'm saying is we don't know if he cheated in the past and it could be foolish to assume so when making predictions.

See the above. Plus a personal bias about being mad at him should have nothing to do with how he'll do in a fight when we only saw him cheating once.

what???????????????

Because this people wants to downgrade pac's win in case he win on this fight, but the truth is this people knows that marg is a very dangerous fight for pac because he's so much bigger and stronger also add margarito's non stop pressure and he throws punches in bunches which i think will give pac a very hard fight.

[Pin Galarga]

Because they're mindless drones who rely on triangle theories to come up with a fight outcome. That or they're *******s who know nothing about boxing aside pacquiao vs ODLH

You have a valid point. Roach, Arista and Pacquiao??

You are in SERIOUS DENIAL!!!!! So let me get this straight...Team Margarito would use plaster on the Mosley but not the man who beat Mosley??? Not to mention the trainer(according to the translator) asking Margarito "how do your punches feel?"...huh??????... whats that about???

[letsgobrady]

I'm not saying he'll win but I see a lot of people saying it'll be a one-sided beat down and I'm not so sure. I want Pacquiao to win but this is a very risky fight I feel.
Margarito has excellent timing and will go after Pac and hit anywhere he can, especially the body. We haven't seen Pac tested against an opponent like this. Mosley beat Margs using power shots and clinching. Pac doesn't hit as hard as Mosley and I'm not sure he'll clinch Margarito. I don't know if Pacquiao can stop Margarito in his tracks like Mosley did. He may have to hit and run which could get very tiring under Marg's pressure. This could look like the Margs-Cotto fight; If Margarito still has a great chin then Pac will have to be very careful and needs to be at his best.

Heres another view as well from Dwyer.

because he aint ****.what has he done?beat clottey when they weren't relevent?beat an unexperienced martinez? beat a prospect in cintron?or the cotto fight that will always be in question?he's a bum and always has been, thats why he never fought anyone because he didn't deserve fights with the top welters like oscar,shane,forrest,mayorga,judah or spinks and don't forget that according to arum mosley also ducked margarito and didn't want to fight for 8 mil but when margarito did become relevant shane did fight him and beat the **** out of him

Very hard fight? Its incredible what people will say to glorify Manny's inevitable win. Manny fighting a fighter who got KTFO'd by Mosley and a unimpressive win over Garcia, who also now has a tarnished legacy because of the hand wraps and is slow as hell. Here will be the outcome of the night, Margarito throws looping hands and Manny will dodge them with ease from game plan devised by Roach, by that time Margarito will cop about 10 punches to the face. Manny's footwork and incredible stamina won't succumb to Margarito's pressure like Cotto. I'm going to say Margarito wins 2 rounds MAX and Manny goes en route to a wide as **** UD or TKO from pizza face. Sorry but I would of liked Manny to take on either Martinez or Paul Williams(who has stated numerous times he was willing to go down to 147 to face Mayweather or Pac).

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

I saw his last fight. Thats why.

I saw his last fight. Thats why.

and he looked a lot better than Williams who got shutout 4 rounds to 0 against sorry @ss Kermit Cintron.
