Whats the difference between Margarito and Berto?

[Sangre Azteca]

Margarito had like an 8 year winning streak at welterweight and was the man at that weight class for about 4 or 5 years, he basically made Floyd retire for 2 years and everybody knows that Floyd was and still is scared ****less of Margo, the video don't lie, I found it funny how Floyd fans always discredit any fighter that has a chance if beating him by saying that he need to earn his shot but what about most of Floyd's last opponents, how did they earn their shot? On the other hand Berto is and will always be a hype Job just like Khan they might had been great amateur boxers but the pros is a lot different sport, Margo's will always be remembered for being a fearless warrior, too bad that PAC ****ed up his eye I still wanted to see him fight a few more times against the best 154 pounders.

Both were HBO hype jobs. Both dont have a signature win of note. Both got dominated everytime they stepped up in opposition. Both were caught cheating. The only difference between the two is Berto has some boxing skill. Margarito is a complete bum in my opinion. Basically theyve had the same carreer. You could argue Berto was an underachiever.

IMO Margarito had a much better career than Berto. His biggest loses were to the best of the era (Cotto, PAC and Mosley). Margarito even bested Sergio Martinez early in his career. TBH, in regards to career, I look at Margarito a lot like Oscar (I believe Oscar was a much better fighter though). Took on all the greats and came up short. No shame in that.

Berto on the other hand got beat down by tier 2 fighters. Berto doesn't even have a tier 1 fighter on his resume, win or lose.

What are these skills you speak of?

Berto is one of the most unskilled fighters to hold a world title.

Cotto was the HBO hype job Margarito was bum who only notable win was a tainted one against the HBO hype Job

Margarito was a compelling fighter to watch despite or perhaps even because of his relative crudeness. He was exactly the type of guy you wanted to see boxers put in against so you could see what they were really made of.

Berto on the other hand inspired nothing but indifference.

Yeah but on the other hand beating Berto was the guaranteed way to get Floyd's respect. When you passed that test you could face the best.
