Antonio Margarito

[Bastian Loc]

His fight with Garcia was a tuneup intended to rounds to shake off rust, he carried Garcia easily, won every round easily, and knocked him down.

You're a moron for not understanding that.


Two.

Everyone knows what happened with Mosley, he came into camp way overweight and unmotivated cuz' he didn't even want Mosley, Hbo had to offer extra money to get him to take the fight.

His preference was to wait till July and rematch Cotto.

I wouldn't expect you to know the details.

[$tate of Mind]

This is what's going on!!



And this is what must be done to further avoid the present!!

You always speak the truth my man, much respect!

same way manny beat a better version of hatton than floyd......lol

[MikeRo1972]

Can somebody please explain to me how Margarito was drained, unfocused, and mentally shot in his fight against Shane Mosley? I've seen people say that the version of Margarito that Pacquaio beat is better than the version Sugar Shane beat?!!!!!!!!!!!!! How the hell can anybody come to this conclusion?

According to Capetillo (Ring Magazine Online Interview):

On top of having weight issues, Margarito suffered a back injury towards the end of the Mosely fight camp which is why Capetillo panicked and slipped the inserts he was using in sparring into his fight night gloves. Then you add the fact that he had to take off all his wraps and re-wrap which cut into his pre-fight warm up time. He was bone dry when the fight started.

Bad Conditioning + Cold + Back Injury = The Margarito who got KTFO by Shane.

Look, I dont like Margarito at all and far be it for me (a Puerto Rican) to defend him. but you have to admit....cheater or not that Mexican shows up to a fight EVERYTIME out. Against Mosely he didn't put up a fight at all. I dont think it's a statement on Pac's performance so much as a statement on Margarito and Mosely's performance when they fought.

Let me get this straight so there's an excuse for every fghters loss as long as their loss wasn't against Manny Pacquaio. RIGHTTTTTTTTT!

Chill out....

I never said it was an excuse, he lost the fight fair and square. Look I'm not one of those people that say he was this and he was that.

I just gave you an honest observation of the way he looked but Mosley beat him.

Doesn't matter, catch weight, no catch weight, weight drained, whatever, if you get in the ring that's all that matters.

YOU'RE AND IDIOT, STOP SUCKING MANNY'S ****! Shane knocked Margarito the hell out before he even fought Pacquiao dummy, yet you try to justify Pacquaio's shameful cherry piciking, typical *******.......

According to Capetillo (Ring Magazine Online Interview):

On top of being weight drained Margarito suffered a back injury towards the end of the Mosely fight camp which is why Capetillo panicked and slipped the inserts he was using in sparring into his fight night gloves. Then you add the fact that he had to take off all his wraps and re-wrap which cut into his pre-fight warm up time. He was bone dry when the fight started.

Dehydrated + Cold + Back Injury = The Margarito who got KTFO by Shane.

Actually he put up a hell of a fight. He fought harder than most human beings would have. The fact he lasted as long as he did against Mosley is just as impressive as what he did vs Pac IMO.


Mosley is a devastating puncher and was landing a ton of flush right hands for over 6 rounds.

Good observation and green K for you man for being a good fan.

Shane fought a Margarito who was on top of the world and just scored a devestating KO win over an undefeated Miguel Cotto. Furthermore, Margarito had never been knocked out before Shane put hands on him.......

Then Pacquiao fights a Margarito who took a devastating beating at the hands of Mosley and looked pedestrian against journeymen Robert Garcia
Yet somehow Pacquaio beat the better version of Margarito? WHAT!

We're living in a *******ED WORLD, WAKE UP!

Oh dear! Let me quickly explain this to the uneducated people who have no clue..

Firstly Margarito only had a short lay-off after beating Cotto. He came into training camp overweight and had to lose too much weight in too shorter of a time, something like 40lbs! He came in at 170-something and had to make 147! To add to an already difficult task, he picked up 2 injuries in training.. one was a back problem and the other was an eye problem.
The whole camp was spent trying to lose the weight - not training.
A week out they knew they had no chance of winning, but had just set a record crowd for the staples centre, so decided they couldn't really pull out of the fight.

(This is the reason why Capetillo probably decided to use those older previously worn wraps to help him a bit)

Tony only re-hydrated a few pounds after the weigh in, he was severely weight drained.

The Margarito Mosely fought was a over-trained weight drained punching bag, the Margarito Pacquiao fought was in top peak physical condition - FACT.

you're acting ****** (no surprise), I'm pretty sure that everyone except the most ridiculous pac fans (the exact same people as you and yessir) knows that oscar looked like a shell of himself vs pac.

Excuses, excuses, excuses if this really went down why not postpone the fight? Stop grasping at straws.......
