Is Margarito one of the toughest fighters ever? In my lifetime I've never seen a tougher fighter. In his prime he was almost indestructible. He was less man and more iron than anything else.
I’m his prime he has exactly 1 decent win that most feel he cheated for, being tough against club fighters doesn’t mean anything when you get your ass kicked on the world level
No! Shane Mosley “out macho’d” him, took his soul, and ripened him for the beat down against Pacquiao.
Yeah sure.. fractured orbital bone below the eye and damage to his right retina requiring multiple surgeries.., what a tank!
LMAO. Shane Mosley hit him with 50 flush right hand bombs while on roids and couldn't even deck him. So stop with that nonsense.
A very very tough man. His toughest fight imo was the first Cotto fight which despite winning, lost his prime after 11 brutal rounds. I had never seen Margarito take so much punishment and look so busted up as he did against Cotto. He proved his toughness by coming forward non-stop and outwilled, and outslugged, the body punching Boricua. He got the victory at the expense of his prime, but a great win it was.
It is rumored, possibly confirmed that Pacquiao had stacked wraps under his gloves, and even then Margarito kept coming forward. Other fighters have quit with much less damage.
I'm not going to come out like the Floyd/Canelo fan boys & accuse Pac of having stacked wraps like PimpC,drenlou & company have accusing Margarito with no proof whatsoever BUT. I did seem strange that Robert Garcia suspected that & demanded Pac's wraps be removed. Freddie refused point blank WHY??????? The commission let him get away with it. WHY???? Then Pac proceeded to display enormous power he'd never shown before destroying Marg's eye socket surely there was suspicion?? Look at Mosely's sudden transformation displaying unbridled power & energy & non stop attacks like the Energizer Bunny? Why was there never any inquiry where that came from ?? After all Mosely is a PROVEN & EVENTUALLY SELF CONFESSED Peds abuser after BALCO proving he was lying about being innocent & passing two polygraphs by producing receipts & the liar had to confess. When you break it all down there are far more unanswered questions about Pac & Mosely than anything concerning Margarito especially Mosely after he had to confess he'd used Peds before. Tony's only mistake was in LEGITIMATELY kicking Cotto's azz when he wasnt supposed to. He spoiled the cash cows big $$$$ plans Yet neither had the cojones to face him in the ring. He had to be got rid of End of story
This idiot with no heart, is talking about shane on roids(which he wasnt) but totally makes thread upon thread commending a fighter who up until that point was beating and damaging fighters thanks to help by plaster of paris. Lol. Dumb ass
Pacquiao was definitely using different wraps in his fights in Texas. He also put Clottey in a shell with it. Marg did the same/similar thing. If I remember right Steward pointed out how surprised he was both fighter’s were allowed tape directly on the skin or something along those lines. But It was legal, it’s just what that commission allows.
