Originally posted by inITtoWINit View PostMy fault, you right. I DID watch it live though. Anyways, that fight was HUGE for both fighters. I consider that Marg's career defining moment, before the Cotto fight. That's when people started to recognize him as an elite WW.
Thats my point-Margs was being used to launch espn's ppv arm, so they ranked him #1 when IMO he clearly wasn't. His wins over 6 heads was his best win at the time. SO am I going to go with what ESPN is saying about margs just because they partnering with TR to do a fight?
A lot of posters forget this like you did.

Pac has peaked out at 147. Even discounting his bogus sww title, it's more than anyone has moved up successfully.

In the end, when a fighter goes around claiming to be the BEST. Then people expect for him to take the hardest and tough challenges.

I think alot of fans need to go back and watch Roberto Duran, one of the greatest of all time, he FOUGHT everyone. He won some and lost some.
But he lived.....he lived to fight another day.

what i know is he's below the standard that his fans tried to put him up to. his career and accomplishments can not measure up to the greatness his fans tried to portray him.
he's a very skilled and talented fighter but his accomplishments is not as great.

You seem to forget how big this fight was at the time. Just because, you're trying to prop up Baldomir's status, doesn't mean the Margarito/Cintron fight wasn't HUGE in the boxing community, and the whole Mexico/PR rivalry.
Who was better than Margs at the time, besides Paull Williams (too green)? Cotto?Last edited by Scarcaztic; 02-05-2013, 03:08 PM.
