Has your opinion on Margarito Changed?

maybe I'd have more respect for him if he won a round or two. I don't get this whole respect him for taking a massive beating and losing every round to someone he disrespected! the point of boxing is to hit and not get hit, that's who we should feel privileged to have, not a "warrior" who can't win a round and has tried to cheat

yes it's cool he went out on his shield and all but that only goes so far

 

no, every boxer should fight like floyd to be appreciated. :hey

 

I feel bad for him he got robbed. He won every round of the fight and it just proved Manny will get destroyed by The USA's beloved PBF.

 

sorry, but the sport is called BOXING, not BRAWLING

 

that's what i'm saying, if he ain't fighting like floyd, then he's no good, he's amateur. there should only be one way to do this sport and that is floyd's way. :hey

 

and that's not what I'm saying

 

He got the best deal of all time. He got paid 6 mill to get hit by a car and did not have to go to court or wait for a settlement for the accident which normally takes years. He was paid upfront and will recover and go on with his life.

 

i wasn't even referring to you in the first place man. margo fought the way he knows how to fight. but people are expecting him to what, suddenly move his head and move side to side? given the circumstances and the skillset he has, he showed a lot of effort and guts in the fight and to me that's good enough for him to earn at least a little bit of respect.

 

He fought with loaded gloves and could have killed someone

Loaded gloves have killed boxers in the past, and who knows if he used them against Cotto who has never looked them same since

Boxing is the only sport where it is legal to kill your opponent.

Margarito is a cheat and should always be remembered as one

 

he gained huge respect from me. watching his legs go in the 4th round and still try to move forward

 

Freddie Roach says before the handwrap scandal that Margarito is a real cool guy outside the ring.

 

To the some point yes. He got 'stones' to the point that it's hard to not feel for the guy. Rematch against Cotto with bigger slice of the purse going to Miguel might help it even more but that's just my opinion. Cotto seems to me like a guy who can forgive but who knows how many others there were.

Margarito is either way going to hear about the gloves for the rest of his life and by that way he'll be warning example for anyone thinking of doing the same, horrible mistake.

Hopefully he recovers from that beating he took but I doubt that he does. Retirement wouldn't be bad choice either.

 

I give him props. He's got a legendary chin, either that or he put xylocaine on his face.
