Human beings.........including fighters.......are a mixture of virtues and weakness............

[THE_BIG_HURT]

hes definitely a hard as nails dude and he gets props for taking that beating like a man but if he tried to cheat Again, its hard to respect that

[THE_BIG_HURT]

i also hated his guts before this fight but by the end was feeling really bad for him and yelling and cursing at the doctors/ref/trainers to stop the fight and let him live to fight another day.

i guess no matter what i have compassion, i just dont know how much Margs has for anybody else

Im with you on that.
I dont think he cares too much about anyone.

as i was watching the fight also i was enjoying it but after the later rounds i remember saying to myself they should stop the fight hes getting a beating but he continued and kept his word on saying he wouldnt quit he has my respect for that he fought on till the end .

I was suspect of since the Cotto fight, straight hating him since the Mosley fight but never once did I think he wasn't a tough Mo'Fo. No one could ever deny that Margs would leave it all in the ring if he had to. Not because he is Mexican, but because it's in his DNA...way back in his scrap with P-Will it was obvious that he's a determined Mo'Fo.

Does he have my respect now? As a tough SOB yes, as a boxer and a man? Nope. Even if he didn't no Capetillo slipped a dirty insert into his wraps (which is possible) the way Capetillo explained in his Ring interview it seems like at minimum he had to have known he was training/sparring with loaded wraps.

Look, I give the guy respect for trying to go 12 rounds without getting on his bike. Props. But you can make the argument that he is so dumb and/or 1 dimensional that it's the only way he knows how to fight.

I rather root for Angulo, Alvarez, and JMM over Margarito.

[antrob]

No respect for the cheater.

Is that why he paid for those poor amateur kids to go to the PAL games when nobody even asked him to? He paid for their flights, hotel, food etc.. and he only fought once in the previous two years so it's not like he made loads of money recently.

Your experiences make you who you are, dude grew up in the slum. Someone murdered his brother.. he came up the hard way turning pro at 16 and fighting men just to eat. And then for two years EVERYBODY has been calling him a cheater when there is no evidence that he knew what his trainer did - NO EVIDENCE. Dude was made a scapegoat because he's mexican and can't even speak english to defend himself.

The media controls how you idiots think and feel, who's the real man?

[one_two_puncher]

I haven't been on for about a week (since the fight).

I want to say that I have been crappin on Margarito ever since Plastergate and I do believe he has used plaster in previous fights (maybe even all his fights). I mean if he says he didn't know Capetillo put plaster in his gloves, how can he say for sure he never had it in his gloves? Anyway, that said....

During the fight with Pacquiao I found myself cheering for Pac in the beginning and happy Tony was taking a beating, then midway through I started to feel bad for him and towards the end I felt like I was watching a Rocky movie. Tony just kept coming and coming and never gave up, he showed alot of heart and gained my respect. Tony is a warrior. What do you guys think?

He earned my respect.

Other fighters would have quit if they were in Margarito's shoes that night.
