dont they mean MOSLEY??? he wouldve ko'ed chicken floyd in his prime thats why chicken ducked him,to instead fight the dangeroud deadly 20 loss baldomir, chicken floyd cannot handle pressure fighters , that said Margs was always a warrior very fun to watch,he took Manny with him too as manny hasnt been fighting the same since either, landed alot of punches on manny.237 most landed on pacman ever, I dont for one second buy into the brick crap ,he was a relentless fighter just like Arum said not the most talented but certainly one of the toughest ever.Thats a guy that truly never ducked anyone .

Agree 100%

[Oh you out son]

damn i loved watching him take beatings, i wish he kept fighting until he couldn't see

[fvanesbeck]

I wouldn't say Mosley took Tony to school. To say that a boxer was taken to school implies that they were taught a boxing lesson by a superior technician. Mosley just beat the **** out of Margarito, straight up. He loaded up on the right hand all night long from the opening bell and never relented with it. That's not a schooling, that's just an ass whipping.

You're splitting hairs. You could argue that because of the fact that Mosley is a better technician than Margarito and it was apparent the night that he beat the **** out of him that Tony was schooled. But my point was that Mosley beat him badly.

You do realize that you make yourself look stupid, don't you?

I'm sure you know that Mosley refused a fight with Floyd at LW and WW. I'm betting that you just need some attention.

Damn... I was hoping to see him keep fighting and keep taking beatings. No justice is better than the justice the ring can serve up!

What a shame. He was one of my favorite fighters and after he beat Cotto I believed I could enjoy watching him fight for years to come. The Mosley fight was very hard to watch, and I always wanted those two to rematch, but they retired in the same week.

Thanks for all the memories Tony and good luck with your life.

i blame Robert Garcia and that ****ty ref Laurence Cole!

yeah if cole would have stopped the fight sometime around the 10th or something, perhaps his injuries wouldn't have been that bad. maybe the damage was already done though, didn't he start swelling up as early as the 5th? i don't remember exactly so who knows...but yeah, garcia and/or cole should've stopped that fight.
and i agree with everyone that said he was never the same after the mosley fight. imo that beating took something out of him, pac just finished him off for good. i was never a huge fan of his, but i give him respect for always going out there and never quitting, regardless of how bad he was losing. he was in some pretty entertaining fights. thanks for that margs! good luck with life after boxing.

I used to be a huge Margo fan and anybody that would listen to me I would tell them to watch him cause nobody wants to fight the dude. All action and toughness.

After the scandal I can't stand the guy. Till this day I hear it from my friends.

I hope he permantly goes away. One less TR pawn to worry about

Margarito, boxing will miss you. You were the symbol of machismo and pressure. I don't care if some jealous racists call you a cheater. You preferred to lose an eye and your career but never surrendered. Mosley was probably juiced and had plaster when he fough you. Cotto was a walking ******, always on run mode when he fought you. He was lucky you had the eye problem. You are loved by the true macho Mexicans, other Latinos and real men. Only ***gs hate you.

Good news. I wish more boxers would call it quits when it's time. Saves the savage beatings and growing losses on their records. tony might have lost vision permanently in that eye in one more fight.
