So long, cunt!

Dear Family, Friends, and Fans,

After twenty-two years of full dedication to the profession I love, I have made the decision to announce my retirement from boxing.

After much thought and extended conversations with my family and team, we have all agreed that the time to hang up my gloves and begin a new chapter in life has arrived.

I always told my family and team that I would walk away from boxing when I felt I could no longer compete at the level I believed I needed to be, in order to be successful. Although the passion and drive are still there, I have to accept that my time to walk away has arrived.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Michelle and my family for their support, encouragement, and most of all, their love. Not only did they give me their unconditional love and support during the good times, their love and support grew larger during the times that I was at my lowest.

I also want to thank my team, Sergio Diaz Jr and Francisco Espinosa. They are not only my management, they are my family. For sixteen years, they guided my career and did what was best for me. To my trainers, without your drive and motivation, I would not have had the success. You were an integral part of my career. I thank you for your dedication.

I want to thank my promoters, Bob Arum, Todd duBoef, and everyone at Top Rank. I am proud to say that I began and ended my career with a great promotional company. As a non privileged child, I had dreams. I dreamt of giving my family a better life. I dreamt of owning a car, owning a home, traveling the world, and helping others in need. Bob, I thank you for helping me fulfill those dreams.

Finally, I want to thank all of my fans for their love and loyal support. Without you, there would be no Antonio Margarito.

I leave the cuts, bruises, and sweat, but I’m not leaving the sport. I will continue in the sport that gave me so much, Now, however, it is time for me to give back to the sport.

 

best of luck to you, champ. :bears:

 

Shame, it would have been fun to see him get the shit beaten out of him a few more times.

 

True. Hopefully he eventually loses all the sight in that eye.

 

Yes shame...I would love to see him fight Canelo, Angulo, Kirkland, Rematch Martinez...etc..etc...

 

Wlad, Vitali, a Grizzly bear ...

 

A few more beatings would have been nice. :kidcool:

 

If there were a Margarito version at heavyweight the sis wouldn't reign for long....

 

......a swarm of bees, the Miami Cannibal, Liam Neeson upset at the loss of his wife, daughter or traveling companions.

 

:bears:

 

A legend, ducked by many. He will be sadly missed.

 

I am so happy he retired without notching a single meaningful win after wrap gate.

 

The Sergio Martinez of his time.....or was that Paul Williams??!?!:stir:

 

He's got a win over P4P #3 Martinez and was ducked by Floyd. That's greatness!

 

And he did it the old way.....stacking his wraps with concrete power. Margarito is actually very and truly afraid of needles, unlike the congressman. :shadow:

 

You know I'm just kidding right? I hate Margarito.

 

No, you just say that....but if he returns your calls you two will get back together. Same old story...

 

He doesn't call me anymore. I think it's over for good this time.

 

2,3,4 months will go slowly and painfully for you. But he will call and when he does, you will run to his arms. Of course you will make yourself hard to get, you will talk, say how you feel, he will tell you his feeling all that shit. But at the end he will shit on you again....:Alabama:..cheating bastard that he is proven to be.

let it go...okay...just let it go. And if it comes back, lay down some poison, feed it to him.

 

:laugh11:

 

:l3:

 

Margarito had nothing to prove. He had a great career that was cemented in the first Cotto fight

 

What up, Clemente!

 

You mean Margarito's fists were cemented in that Cotto fight, right?

 

:laugh11:

 

I like the "Oh My God" under Clemente... a nice touch there by Anthony

 

Oh you speak Spanish eh? Show off

 

PENDEJO!!! CHUPA MI HUEVOS, PUTA!!!!!
