Whats the difference between Margarito and Berto?

[4Corners]

Margarito was a plaster fighter, what happened after the Plaster??? He lost to Mosley, Manny, and Cotto.

Margarito used wraps for most of his career, unless you want to say he only tried to use them against an old Mosley, and hasn't won a notable fight since being exposed.

Berto still has a career, while Margarito never had one!

Berto has no boxing skills lol. He's all flash, makes no adjustments, always head hunts. Margarito was never hyped by hbo in fact alot of people had no idea of who the dude was beside Mexican fans. Berto was hyped to the max I can recall him saying hed like the winner of floyd vs mosley when he hadn't fought anyone. I would say a major difference between both would be margarito had to fight his way to recognition even though he cheated while berto had the luxury of being an al haymon fighter fighting on hbo. He had exposure.

truth man...

One can say the same about Berto. Berto was always on PEDs and does not have a notable win EVER!!! At least Margarito won some big fights! lol!

The one thing that makes me curious, is why would the athletic commission themselves rule later that the sample was contaminated and then reissue his license... Huh? If that is true, than there are no grounds to truely believe something the commission later dismissed as possibly a fraudulent case.

Margarito a network hype job? Cintron was a network hype job and margarito was the b-side, same thing would have happened with Berto, margs would have been the b-side and he would have crushed Berto.

Margarito has fought 6 top 10 welter and went 3-3(prime clottey, prime cotto, Sergio Martinez and lost to Paul Williams, manny pacquaio and shane.)

Yes he might have cheated against cotto , but clottey and Martinez might have been legit.

Berto has never beaten a top ten welter in his career and was always a paper champ. He lost two cherry pick fight.

Margarito was an overachiever. Berto is an underachiever. The biggest difference is margs will impose his will on his opponent. As a result, he beat a guy who maybe he shouldn't have beat in Cotto. With Berto, fighters impose their will on him. He was favored over Ortiz and Guerrero but didn't rise to the occasion. Both fighters are mediocre to me but one maximizes his talents and the other neglects them.
