And I don't care if you respond or not, or wait for it to disappear. But I'll be waiting for you right here to tell me how Margarito has AVERAGE GUTS/DETERMINATION and how he will fold in the face of adversity. Yeah, he sure folded last night! Maybe you might wanna go check that Santos and Perez fight NOW? Although I think 11 rounds was all you needed, agreed? Really, some of you should be ashamed of yourselves. I don't understand what the blind hate is for this fighter - check that, this warrior - who is everything a fighter should be. I sincerely hope that those who ridiculed him as an average bloke give him the respect he deserves. No excuses. Give the man his just due.
I agree mexican wedding skirt needs to apologize to this board for insinuating the Margarito isn't tough...The man walked through hell to get to Cotto. Margarito has big HUEVOS!
It's known as 'REED-itis' - too many posters have it and it's main symptoms are being afraid to disagree with him for fear of being branded 'racist'. opcorn:
I tell ya, I've been absolutely disgusted with the way Margarito has been regarded on this site. A man who held on to his crown for ten years, a man who called out the best and fought the best available. A humble fighter who just wanted an opportunity. But hey, if you thought Margarito was gonna lose, fine. I even excused those who thought he sucked - most of them started watching Margarito a couple years ago and barely remember anything else. But to insinuate that he is GUTLESS or only average in that department is reckless and causes me to question your knowledge on the sport PERIOD. An absolutely disgusting accusation against a fighter who had shown nothing but guts his entire career. Well, on this night, he outgutted the so-called best welter in the world. And shocked many. Cheers to him!
The reason for this messageboard's Margarito hate, stems from hurt Fraud groupies most of all, aswell as Anti-Mexican Puerto ricans, and Anti-Mexican pacman fans,.. but Mexican Wedding shirt is in a category of his own, I dont know where he fits, he says that he finds Margarito monotonous, but the sheer and evident power of his hatred, suggests there's probably more to add :nono:.
No, you idiot. People don't like margarito just because. He's not likeable. Not charismatic, loudmouth, average fighter with no fight to define his career (until today) and cried too much about people not wanting to fight him when he lost his opportunity to shine against Daniel Santos (who many people hated and still hate to this day). Only people like you, sick, insect-loving weird internet assholes like you like the margaritoes of the world.
Nonsense but not worthy of a true retort. Margarito's performance tonight makes you sound like a bitter clown.
Good Morning, Mex. Here's to hoping you man up today. Or maybe you'll conjure up some new bullsh*t to explain away how Margarito has average guts.
forgot about that punk ass bitch mex. i guess all it is is some 'toughness' to beat a guy like cotto.
Yeah,that's Mexican for you. Hey,at least he won't be saying his usual "I was right and everybody else was wrong" type of dribble he does after most big fights:cheer:
dsimon writes: No mex won't be his usual bragging self... But Caligula will and thats ok I guess. Never mind how judges determined a lot of the past so called victories Caligula predicted. It is in bad taste to gloat about anyone having an opinion. Also give a people a day or two thats only fair. I gues Iamdazed was never wrng about a pick and again, I guess caligula never got the help of a stupid judge or two. I will take note of the gloaters and let me say this Caligula and Iamdazed.... you guys better be geniuses becasue the next time you are wrong about a fighter a thread like this one will be out there.
I don't care when someone is wrong or not. So if someone calls me out for picking Jones over Calzaghe, I could give a rat's ass. I'll be here regardless. I've been wrong before. it's all a freaking crapshoot anyway. But I WILL make a thread like this each time a FIGHTER is absolutely disrespected the way Margarito was on this board and then comes through. It's one thing to say he'll lose - hey, I DID. It's another to say he's an average pug with AVERAGE GUTS or that Hatton was more worthy or that he ducked top competition. Just stupid sh*t. Yeah, you'll get called out.
agREED. I was just about to say, this is about more than just a wrong pick, it's like saying "Holyfield has average heart, about on Michael Grant level". Ludicrous statements with zero justification.
Margarito fans, stop acting like there's never reason to criticize Antonio or his handlers. Think about it, he just won his first fight after how many years of claiming he was this and that? The other biggest fight he had recently, he lost (Williams). So there was nothing wrong with saying he was getting overrated, now the kid finally deserves the praise so let's give it. Let's see if he can keep it up.
Don't go nuts. He did this against Cotto is imo was a very protected fighter. Margarito is not the non-stop attacker he is made out to be. Paul Williams kept him in check.. I am a fan of Margarito but he was battering a guy who was just overrated, especially at welterweight. Librado Andrade is what people think Margarito is. Margarito is the first true legit welter and guy his size cotto ever fought which is why he got dominated.
So he's fought Williams and Cotto...arguably the two best welterweights before last night...and he knocked out one and lost a very close decision to the other (that 7-5 on my card, in which he came on strongly at the end). He's also beaten two top 5-10 welterweights in Cintron (twice) and Clottey. So what was the reason to criticize him? Because he's open to fighting all welterweights and actually proving in the ring how good or bad he is?
Just venting, didn't feel like creating a new thread. Now proceed to trash Mex since well, even if most saw (keep seeing) Margarito as a looping brawler with mediocre technique and an awful face, well it's plain obvious the guy has a heart of a lion and lots of determination.
Exactly, Mitchell. Your posts on Margarito have been spot on in recent months. Furthermore, to question his GUTS and determination...how stupid is that?
59 Guests. WOW! Alright Mex, I'll answer for you: Congrats to Marge, he showed lots of guts and determination last night. I still wish Cotto would have gone to the body more. Also, did anybody think Marge should have at least been warned or had a point taken away for hitting Cotto while he was down? And Kenneth, I still don't see the guts he showed in the second Santos fight. Santos calmly outboxed him (note: I didn't see the fight) and your hero folded at the least sign of trouble, like he did against Williams early on. He only found guts in the later rounds. How close am I?
Exactly. I don´t think anybody needs to justify that he picked Cotto to win. It´s just a prediction. It´s just the load of crap, some people have talked about Margarito.
In fairness, mex never holds back with his opinions, its rarely less than all or none with respect to his favorite or hated fighters. I'm sure he'll be around. Some of this crow feeding reminds me of attraction post witter-harris. You're setting yourself up for some major crow serving Kenneth once Jones falls short in November or that mediocrity Bradley is exposed. :kidcool:
Nonsense. I picked Cotto too, genius. This is not about calling a fight wrong. Sh*t, everyone does it...A LOT. This is about going beyond the usual BS to make a point. This is about daring to tell other people that Margarito would fold against a REAL fighter, that he had average guts/determination. This is about telling me Margarito showed no guts in the second Santos fight when he walked through absolute FIRE to turn the fight around--in his opponent's hometown, no less! Basically, this is about letting your hate for a fighter go beyond your common sense. Unless you have no common sense. So spare me the bullsh*t about calling a fight wrong, ok? Thank you.
Relax oldboy. The point is that his posting style is deliberately exaggerated. You seem to be taking it all very personal, take a time out. :nono:
Oh so now it's not about calling a fight wrong but taking it personal? Go away. I'll be waiting for Mex to show me how Margarito showed average guts. Let me worry about what I take personal. Thanks.
