Margarito the Hypocrite?
Collapse
-
A) I think he should have fought Williams in December, not Clottey. There was every reason to take the Williams fight and he opted for a lesser challenge. To me, that's very ironic and hypocritical given what he was just going on about in the media with Floyd.I think he should fight Williams after he fights Clottey. What do you think of him fighting Clottey? Is Clottey a reasonable challenger?
And I wasn't saying anything about Matthyesse's punching power I was saying that Williams took odd shots that he should have been blocking, such as a looping right to the stomach.
He should have embraced the challenge and made a big specticle of fighting Williams in December.
Clottey is a good prospect, but Williams is the better looking and more accomplished fighter of the two by far. He's #1 in the WBO, Clottey's #5.
B) One of Williams' downside is that he takes too many punches, but he's aware of this and says he does so to land more. He averages 100 punches thrown per round, and he shook off huge shots from Mattheysse like they were nothing and kept firing. If he takea a few to land 10, I think he's doing okay.Leave a comment:

Margarito's resume and stature isn't so high that he can dismiss Williams because of his resume.
Matthyesse was a very big puncher, and Williams walked through it and came back with huge fire. That was an impressive win.
For a guy who's career win is Cintron, Margarito isn't in a position where he can say his #1 contender hasn't earned the right to fight him.
He has, and it's a fight that makes sense for Margarito in other aspects such as fighting a noteworthy opponent and taking care of his mandatory defense, which he hasn't done in a year.

Very well said, matty was also undefeated and had the record of 25 wins with 24 ko's when he fought williams and williams took those punches well.This is exactly what people were saying about Tony when Floyd didn't want to fight him.

That's the part that gets me.You said williams isn't that good right? well how is he not good where he is the mandatory challenger? while clottey is the number 5 contender and all of a sudden he is really good and more proven? that's why clottey is the guy that margarito and arum decide to pick? lol come on man.
People try to excuse his actions by suggesting Williams isn't deserving.
But Clottey is?
Williams isn't a big enough challenge so that justifies taking on a lesser challenge?
