Comments Thread For: Margarito: I Will Die in The Ring, Not Quit Like De La Hoya

[al1bar]

True, Manny Crackiao never failed a drug test.....because he never took the olympic commitee drug test that is, the one that tests for the 19 or so steroids that do not appear on the boxing commission´s drug test...and not that he´s more than likely off the juice because of those same su****ions, he won´t be much of a match for Margarito, who is also using plaster free gloves....go figure. I suspect a rather boring fight by two boxers that have definitely lost both their advantages and their trump card. But hey, we the ignorant fans who just want to enjoy our idols, continue to line their pockets and cry bloody oath. lol

And who made you the expert on drugs??? The NSAC held a hearing with doctors and experts about this issue and concluded that urine testing is sufficient and blood testing is too risky for the boxers. In case you've been in a hole too long, that was just Floyd's way out of the fight.

Don worry margarito. The ref wont allow you to get anywhere dying. The ref saved you from dying at the hands of SSM already.

Pity you didnt care how your fellow fight Cotto got close to death before pummeling him with your plaster cast hands.

I heard the ref is Laurence Cole...one of the worst boxing refs of all time!!!

Former three time welterweight champion Antonio Margarito wants to redeem the Mexican boxers that were beaten over the years by Manny Pacquiao. Margarito will get his big chance to accomplish that on November 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. One of the things that bothered Margarito was the performance of Oscar De La Hoya in his 2008 TKO loss to Pacquiao. De La Hoya called it a day before the start of the ninth round.

For those of you that are not Mexican, I just wanted to point out that Mexicans are at war with everybody but most especially themselves. That's why I live where it's nice and safe among black people who don't bother me because they think all Mexicans are nuts.

I've never heard anyone get so much flack for quitting than Oscar does. There's nothing worse than someone who sits at home on their computer calling any boxer a quitter. Boxers risk their lives in the ring and Oscar was at the end of his career and completely drained but these "so called boxing fans" of today are quick to call someone a quitter. You have ever heard anyone call Muhammad Ali a quitter when he retired on his stool cos he was also at the end of his career cos ppl didn't talk **** back then like they do now. Kostya Tszyu quit on his stool against Hatton but no one calls him a quitter, julio cesar chavez quit on his stool against Oscar and he's still a warrior.

The problem is that the crowd didn't BOO Ali, Tszyu or Chavez in the arena right after they "quit". They didn't have to hide from the public after they "quit" like Oscar did. Which means the public unanimously believed that Ali, Tszyu and Chavez earned their respect and warrior status. Apparently, the public rightly or wrongly believes De La Hoya didn't earn that. Even though he seems like a nice guy, deep down people know Oscar is disingenuous and a bit of a phony. He's not comfortable in his own skin and seems to care more about his appearance and public persona than who he really is. He's the Tom Cruise of boxing! I believe that's what they were really boooing Oscar for, not necessarily because he quit against Pacquiao.

Margarito is winning by KO! people don't be surprised if it's in the early rounds! you will see the strenght and power differences from the first bell! speed won't have any effect on Margarito because he will be able to get of his shots in before and after and even in between Pacquiao's combinations! great fight! but the Pacquiao era is over!

"I will die in the ring, not quit like de la hoya."

That is a subconscious admission that he believes in the back of his mind that Pac will beat him. Why say that? Why not say, "I will beat manny convincingly unlike all other mexicans who faced him", or something to that effect.

Saying that he will die in the ring would be like saying he will BE beaten by Pac, but he would fight until he could no longer do so or until the referee stops the fight.


That's my opinion of what he just said..

I agree with this poster.

To be honest I actually wouldn't mind seeing margarito dying in the ring

[iloveboxing2]

I believe Margarito...100%........

...but it is a good thing that there is a third man in the ring during fight. The ref will be on his side everytime the bell rings..Cole will make sure Marg doesn't get busted up trying to KO Pac.

Its funny when a guy that the Mexicans have been backing and using the "Cotto and PRs take knees" denounces another Mexican for quitting.
