    ...will he go down in history for the infamous handwraps or for defeating boxers like Sergio Martinez, Miguel Cotto and giving a tough fight to Manny Pacquiao?

    I don't think he did any more than provide Pacquaio with a hard workout.

    Regarding his ultimate reputation, if a fighter can be remembered more for losses or a stylistic deficiency than anything else he has done, then yes, certainly a cheat deserves to be remembered for being just that, more than anything else.

    Margarito brought the game into serious disrepute.

    He convincingly defeated a young Sergio Martinez. Dunno if he was already cheating at that stage in his career.

    I personally will remember him as a dishonorable cheating scumbag who couldn't fight worth a damn once his ability to cheat was taken away.

    What pissed me off most was his lack of contrition. He genuinely didn't give a fuck and acted as if none of it had happened.

    As 'acceptable expressions for a referee' go, that one is way, waaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the list.

    He'll be rightly remembered as a cheating piece of shit who should have been kicked out of boxing but thankfully wasn't and was allowed to come back and have his face pummeled in a supreme act of boxing karma.

    That's exactly it. And why he'll be remembered as a cheater first.
