Comments Thread For: Antonio Margarito Reveals Why He Left Boxing in 2017

[Oregonian]

Margarito was a great fighter who terrified floyd enough to duck a career high $8m through all of 2005 and 2006. Floyd was clearly terrified. Margarito proved he was a feared beast by destroying tough though not famous opposition in REAL fights. Eventually his take one to land one style and all the tough fights and sparring wore him down and he faded. He lost a super fight with Williams. He beat prime Cotto when Floyd was ducking Cotto too. Mosley was clearly using PEDs when he fought Mosley, who looked like a faded bum in his two previous outings. Mosley never complained once of Margarito trying to use illegal wraps - as if he knew he was cheating even worse, pot didn't want to call the kettle black thing. Margarito never actually used illegal wraps. Mosley's cheating is given a pass. Margarito was a great fighter who was cheated out of his greatest TKO - the Floyd fight. No doubt Margarito would have destroyed the fraud. Margarito and Arum both knew it. Everyone knew it. Even ****** Mayweather fans realized it. But of course they deny it because they need a fraud hero to worship. Margarito was a beast, watch his destructions of Cintron and Lujan who he tore his ear off with a punch. Prime Margarito was one of the scariest beasts we saw in the decade.

I love dissecting posts like these. So, let’s;

Floyd moved to 140 in 2005. He beat Gatti and Sharmba Mitchel and then moved to 147 in 2006.
So your theory that Floyd ducked him in 2005 is hogwash.

Floyd fought Zab and Baldomir in 2006. At that time Floyd was not a PPV Star. The only PPV fight he’d was with Gatti who was the A list then.

Floyd fought Oscar and the popular Hatton in 2007. That’s when Floyd became a cross over superstar.
So, your theory that Floyd ducked an $8m pay day in 2005 and 2006 is hogwash. Again.

Floyd and Arum the scum were never going to work together and Arum is on record refusing to match Cotto with Floyd.
FYI, Floyd called out Cotto at 140 after he had destroyed Gatti and Cotto refused. They needed a tune up for a guy that had just moved up to 140.
Cotto is on record about that during their 2012,clash. He did not deny it.

So your theory that Floyd ducked Cotto is Hogwash. Again.

Margarito did offer Floyd $8m. That part is true. But riddle me this please, Margarito’s biggest payday was against Cotto and it was less than $8m so how the he’ll can afford to pay Floyd $8m??

Floyd and Arum were not about to work together. So that theory is just hogwash.

Just FYI, Oscar, Floyd, Cotto, Mikey Garcia all left Arum the dirtbag. PAC also left briefly before Arum threatened a lawsuit so there goes your theory of offering Floyd money.

So Mosley is a cheat and Margarito was caught red handed is not.
Mosley destroyed him like a little biyatch that he was.

A year later Mosley the destroyer of Margarito got beat up by Floyd. Surprise, surprise

Margarito was a garbage fighter and got exposed when he got caught cheating and by Mosley. Period

I have been trying to find this information out so good job BS. He looked like crap in all 3 of his comeback fights the knock out power wasn't there (or was it the wraps?) Plus his eye looked well fooked.

There is acid in orange juice. There are all kinds. Newbs like you hear acid and automatically think “the blood the Aliens spew when Sigourney Weaver shoots them”.

And I prefer the word of a younger man who was there and tested the substance on himself over an old guy whose opinion has been swayed by 40 years of speculations.

You didn't say citric acid. And Dundee was there! Did you even read the article? You're talking out of your ass and you know it. There was a substance that irritated Ali's eyes, but to say with any authority that it was acid is ludicrous.

WAR MARGARITO! Enjoy Your Retirement.

Say what u will about margarito, he was feared and he was no joke, handwraps or not. His style was beautiful to watch and i had the pleasure to see him live 2x's. A lot of fighters ran when his name was mentioned. Much love to paul williams, who called him out when everyone else was ducking him

The young man who was there that tested the substance on himself I was referring to is Dundee. The fact you didn’t realize that tells me you haven’t spent much time researching the matter. I said I trust that version of him, while the events are still fresh in his head, ahead of a 2004 Dundee. Young Dundee said something was there that was a lot like acid, if not acid.

And I didn’t say citric acid the second time. Didn’t say it the first time either. I was pointing out that there are a variety of acids.

Unless your George Foreman only, get out of the professional fight game as soon as reasonably possible to preserve your long term health.

That ass whooping he put on Cotto still remains one of the most pleasing thrashings IMO.

thank manny for busting up that eye ...if not then cotto wouldve been kneeling like he does with bryan

He should count his blessings pac found God before they fought. Pac probably would have killed him with nobody stopping that fight.

Only thing that saved his ass was Pac wondering why the ref wouldn't stop it realizing himself he'd probably kill him
