    Margarito destroyed what little legacy he had. He's a literal who in his era. Not even Ike Quartey or Ricardo Mayorga status. In twenty years he will just be some Mexican dude on legends resumes.

    The proof was self explanatory If plaster had been found in Margarito's wraps The CSAC would have shown it to the world
    Instead all they had was a used damp gauze pad which the testing lab deemed HARMLESS!!!

    You're kidding me right. He was the single most hard-nosed toughest SOB of his era.

    He knocked out Martinez and Cotto. He made Cotto actually take a knee and quit.

    You need to look "legend"up in a dictionary! Watch the fight and you will see Mosley school this guy from start to finish. Pure natural talent.

    Margarito will be remembered for the plaster incident more than anything else. He will be mentioned in the same breath with Resto. That's a helluva legacy he will carry with him.

    Margarito is the "Iran Barkley" of the 2000s. Solid fighter, looks good on a resume because he beat 1 guy but really a high valued bum.

    He used weapons in the ring to potentially permanently injure or even kill an opponent. This revisionism bs has got to stop, its not even in the same category as steroids or anything other cheating. Using bricks to punch people in the face over and over at the professional boxing level is inexcusable and extremely dangerous. I'd be much more lenient for the guy using steroids to better himself but to use plaster to severely injure his opponents makes him the lowest of the low. His entire career pre mosley is suspect and should be erased from history.

    And got beat my a 120lber, destroyed by an extremely old Mosley, and lost to Williams with his wraps loaded. He will be remembered as a cheat the lowest of low, having to use bricks in his gloves to even win fights.

    Pacquiao was a 126 pounder. So youre making it sound worse than it really was. Plus Pacquiao had the style advantage.

    Paul Williams was a legit, exceptional talent.

    Mosley was in roids and EPO.

    There was something on HBO the other day about Margarito and how he destroyed Cotto's career with the suspected glove brick assault. It was suggested that Cotto could of went on undefeated as one of the truly greats but was forever changed and never the same after the bludgeoning and that it must never be allowed to happen again.

    No, he came back after the plaster and LOST to Mosley, and beat Garcia (big deal) without a KO, then took two ass whoppings.
    That's 1-3 after the plaster. Maybe you can process the fact that he's a cheat.
