      Man, TM was the last real fighter I really rooted for. The way he was trash talking Clottey in the second half of the fight was great. He took on everyone that would enter the ring with him. When everyone didn't have the balls to fight Paul Williams, TM stepped up. He started too slow, he owned Paul the last few rounds.

      Still can't fathom if he used plaster all the time, why didn't it get found sooner..?

        I can't say he cheated in any of his other fights. But put it this way:

        Once he got caught trying to cheat against Mosley, he was retired within four fights (including the Mosley fight).

        Assuming he never cheated in any other fight, he still was never really that good and probably wouldn't have had the success he did had he fought in the weight classes he really belonged in.

          IMO, he started to really decline during the Cintron 2, Cotto 1 fights. Even though he won, he took some serious leather in both those fights.

          Also I believe he partied way too much after the Cotto win. He was touring gaining lots of weight, then had the Moseley fight. He lost the fight during training since it was just a weight loss clinic

              Very low...


              He is nowhere near the class of Sanchez, chavez, morales, barrera, marquez

              There have been hundreds of margarito level fighters over the decades come out of Mexico..
