I think Margarito was overrated?

Margarito was great so :fy

 

Well if youre already set to ignore his accomplishments and discard them with the 'he cheated' remark, whats the point of even making this thread? If you are going to dismiss the fact that he popped Sergios cherry, popped Cotto's cherry, gave a prime Williams a great battle, treated Cintron like a rag doll when popping his cherry (It took a bigger and younger Canelo the same amount of time to stop a shot and fireless Cintron 6 years later), beat Clottey (the same guy who thrashed Judah and brought Cotto to the brink)

ect, ect, ect

Theres no discussion to really be had when youre only accepting one side of the argument



He was a huge, swarming pressure fighter with a very high workrate and a very good chin, and no average welterweight would beat him at his best.

 

Even a 'shot' Mosley (funny how he is considered shot when Margarito fights him, yet hes not considered shot for when Mayweather fought him the very next fight :huh) isn't an average welterweight. Most guys Margarito would face would not have the speed, power, experience or chin that a 'shot' Mosley had. And if you think Margarito was prime for that fight (at his best), you haven't followed his career and form very closely.

That being said, regardless it was a horrible loss for him and helps shine a light on his limitations and his level as a fighter.


But better believe, if he was as easy to beat as Mosley made it appear, he wouldn't have had half the success he had.

I stand by my statement, no average welterweight beats him.

 

Congrats.... you've managed to poke holes in a champions resume.

Something that is possible with... oh I don't know, every single fighter ever atsch
