Margarito was a decent fighter but Arum made him biggest hypejob of the last 15 years

[DD09]

Your thread proves that Bob Arum is then really good at his job, promoting...

[Showtime..]

Dude had one of the greatest chins and work ethic's ever up until the Mosley fight. After that his Chin was etchy and his work ethic dropped off a bit. Who else could take countless shots to the head for 9 rounds before taking a knee? Margs would have kept on fighting, knowing his heart.

Margo stole pac's prime, that is the fact that too many people missed!

Maybe people judged him as a cheat or as the brick holder but what I think is Margo is the toughest mother****er alive.
Pac was interviewed by a local after the fight and said that he can't believe that a margo was like a terminator that keeps standing through punishment.

Only margo had pac vomit blood after the fight, he's urine was blood and he took a hospital routine rest after the fight.

Simply that fight was a disaster for him just to please the fans of a david and goliath story.

Haters gonna hate but for me The Tijuana Tornado is a no Joke!!!


P.S.

Floyd retired just to duck him!

First of all, no, he wasn't the biggest hypejob in the last 15 years. For one, Margarito may have been labelled by some as the "most feared" guy in his division during his short reign, but if you look at the amount of attention he was getting from networks it amounted to **** all.

Look at guys like Jermain Taylor or Andre Berto who were being touted as the next superstars of boxing and being shoved down our throats on a routine basis by big networks (namely HBO) before they'd ever really done ****.

More recently, look at a guy like Adrien Broner and how Showtime tried their best to make him Floyd's heir-apparent before he'd even beaten anybody above the C level.

Now compare all that network coverage and fight publicity to Margarito's.

So no, Margarito wasn't even close to the biggest hype of the last 15 years.

Secondly, this whole "most feared" mantle is nothing more than a publicity gimmick, nothing more, nothing less. Arum didn't make people start calling Margarito that - Fans did that on their own because boxing fans are simple minded ****wits who aren't entirely dissimilar to WWE fans - They like gimmicks.

When Margarito was beaten by Williams it wasn't too long before fans on here started calling Williams the "most feared" man in the sport. Hell, even HBO started repeating that line and Kellerman made the ******ed statement on-air that Williams had "no less than three divisions paralyzed with fear."

Then Williams lost.

Then it was Valero who was most feared until he went all Chris Benoit on us.

Then it was Matthysse.

Like I said, it's just a gimmick. Made up to get stupid fans like most of NSB's userbase talking. Why? Because word of mouth is the cheapest form of publicity available.

You missed the biggest hype job of the last 15 years and probably all time in Jeff Lacy.

But yeah Margarito's not a hype job. He was relatively unknown until he beat Cotto (Speaks for itself) and he had some good wins aswell before that.
