    :patsch

    I realize Arum was trying to hype up Margarito, but couldn't he compare him to somebody a little closer to his level. Pipino Cuevas, perhaps? (even though I consider Cuevas a better fighter)

    Hagler is 10x the fighter Margarito could ever dream of being

    Hes this eras most overated fighter. The guy is strong, but he hasnt done enough to prove anything. Sometimes when a fighter is avoided because he represents no payday, it creates a myth that hes some type of monster.

    I can't believe Arum had the nerve to say this.
    He is almost 80 years old so it's not completly his fault.

    I like Margarito but one thing is wierd to me, he was beaten by Paul Williams who is concidered overrated and Margarito is still hyped and concidered more dangerous than Williams.

    “Look. Antonio Margarito (33-4, 24 KOs) is the most feared man in boxing,” Arum said, perhaps exaggerating a little. “He’s this era’s ‘Marvelous’ Marvin Hagler…I really believe Antonio Margarito is the best welterweight in the world. If other people choose not to fight him, that’s on them. They all have reasons.”
