    Marquez and Vasquez may have ruined each other in their fights. We'll have to see what happens with them. Rafa had a fight since, but just an easy tune up. I'm hoping it's the not the case with either though.

    Vargas and Reid by Tito's low blows and illegal wrapped hands.

    CW would have been a real good idea cause he didn't have a belt in that division and he was at the perfect weight. If he was intent on coming down, he should have at least fought at CW first. It was hard to see his demise when you can remember just how good he was. I don't think Tarver was ever half the fighter Roy was.

    Let's see him fight before you make such a suggestion, dumbass. Fighters have bounced back from a lot worse things than what Margarito is going thorugh now so I'm not ready to stick a fork in him just yet.

    Remember, this is the same man that KOed an opponent the same day he learned about his brother's murder. Tony is one tough *******.

    Glencoff Johnson was pretty much ruined by Bernard for years after he KO'd him. He was like 32-0 when B-hop knocked him out.

    He came back eventually. I guess he recovered mentally or something. It's surprising he's done after the horrible streak that followed until he beat Tarver and Jones.

    Marquz didn't look too great in his one fight back, but it might have been mostly due to ring rust. We'll just have to see him in there with better competition so we can make a better assesment on him.

    Izzy on the other hand we have no clue about. Age and inactivity isn't helping him much though.

    True, but Margo was a lot younger at the time and has taken a lot of punishment since.

    He simply redefined himself...he has a style now that is very hard to deal with mentally and physically. He has the heart of a lion as well.

    He is one of the "good guys" of boxing.

    I don't think Cotto belongs there or Trinidad agree with the rest though. And Margarito shouldn't be there either at least till we see how he looks when he returns.

    You make a decent point there. Advanced ring age might be what does Maragrito in. This guy has been fighting with a exciting and aggressive style since age 15, and aggressive fighters like that tend to burn out by their early 30's, but we'll just have to wait and see.
