Comments Thread For: Antonio Margarito Explains Why He Retired From Boxing

[BoriBlaze1]

Cotto whopped Margarito's ass! And he was whipping his ass in the 1st fight. Had Margarito not cheated the outcome of the 2nd fight, would have been the same the 1st fight! Margarito has not beaten anyone since he was caught with trying to load his gloves with Plaster of Paris! He got what he deserves. He got 3 bad beatings by Mosley , Pacquiao , Cotto. And now has a damaged eye for the rest of his life. Karma!

Its really difficult to respect him when you know he was caught with a plaster-like substance in his gloves.

Still making sure Cotto knows who daddy is in retirement.

I use to say that I wasn't sure if Margarito cheated for the Cotto fight because there was no evidence but if he tried to do it with Mosley then it is a definite possibility that he did it for other fights. I remember when he first got caught he said it was some extra hand wraps that they thought was illegal and then later he said that he didn't see how his hands got wrapped? Dude is a liar and a cheater. Cotto fought a dumb fight and even before they fought the first time I said Margarito was going to win but if he did for sure have them illegal wraps then the fight could have been different. I still can't believe how people still support this guy after watching and knowing what Luis Resto did to Billy Collins Jr.

I totally agree. It's crazy how if you watch the "Assault in the ring" documentary that covers the Luis Resto scandal, you will hear Bob Arum saying "What he (Resto) did was inexcusable, he should be banned from the sport forever, there shouldn't be any forgiveness". Yet when one of his fighters does something just as bad if not worse, he fights tooth and nail to bring him back as soon as possible and gives him the biggest money fights possible. That's why I refer to him as Bob "I Have No Soul" Arum. The man has zero integrity. I personally think Margarito used illegal handwraps for all of his big wins. Why do I believe that? It's just hard for me to believe that the guy was seriously hurting and/or knocking out everybody he fought from 2007 to January 2009. But then after he got caught, he came back and fought an unranked bum and couldn't even hurt him. In fact, he was literally running away from a C level fighter. He used to be a puncher right? So what happened? I know Mosley destroyed him, but a puncher is supposed to always be a puncher whether they're in their prime or not. We know that and have seen it. You don't go from destroying top fighters to not even being able to hurt C level fighters.

Plain and simple. Antonio "Load my gloves because I have no skills" Margarito is a cowardly scumbag and I look at anyone and everyone who supports him the same way. He's an absolute disgrace, and not just to boxing, but sports period. I don't know how anyone can support him.
