    Go to youtube and watch videos of Antonio Margarito. Without a doubt it's the most G thing you can find online.

    Boxing isn't the same without Margarito anymore.

    He was completely impossible to keep off you in his prime. A true legend.

    Victor Lozoya-PTS
    Larry Dixon-UD
    Rodney Jones-UD
    Daniel Santos-TD
    Paul Williams-UD
    Shane Mosley-TKO
    Manny Pacquiao-UD
    Miguel Cotto-RTD

    All these men beat and/or stopped Margarito before his prime, in his prime, and after his prime. He was a high level journeyman hyped because he could be a good punching bag for real fighters. The only top guy he beat fair was no one. On his 38th fight he beat a guy that was 28-10-2 while being a 147 pound champion. If Mayweather fought a guy like that you would lose your voice calling him a coward or bum beater.:-(

    How many fighters do you know who could make a HOF fighter in their prime like Miguel Cotto take knee by just jogging towards them?

    There will always be an asterisk next to every win before and after Cotto because of the Shane Mosley incident.:-(
    Who knows how long this has been going on. Never forget that Panama Lewis did this for his fighters for decades until he was caught. People died because of **** moves like that.

    The irony of the Mosley camp though. They go into Margarito's dressing room. Accuse him of plaster, but don't actually have proof and act like Mosley is holier than thou. Yet this same Mosley has taken steroids, EPO, blood doping, etc. He took anything he could to increase his stamina and toughness.

    So who's really the biggest cheater here.

    Regardless plaster doesn't help you take those shots. And it doesn't help you throw 1000 punches.

    It helps you hit harder and hurt people which is the point of boxing besides outpointing someone.

    Yep and he still didn't go down. Gave Pac the worst physical beating of his life. And took his prime from him.

    Not too bad.
