Submit Vote vote to see results Since “Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather is a yellow charlatan, WBO world welterweight champion Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao will fight disgraced former WBA, IBF and WBO welterweight titleholder Antonio “Tijuana Tornado” Maragarito for the vacant WBC junior middleweight crown November 13 at a venue to be determined.
In order for Margarito (37-6, 27 KOs) to be eligible to fight Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KOs) in the United States, he first needs to regain his license to box.
If Margarito isn’t reinstated, promoter Bob Arum said the two will battle in Monterrey, Mexico.
The “Tijuana Tornado” had his boxing license justifiably revoked by the California State Athletic Commission for at least a year in February 2009 after it was confirmed that he attempted to scrap former WBA welterweight super champ “Sugar” Shane Mosley (46-5, 39 KOs) with a plaster-like substance inside of his hand wraps.
Fortunately, Margarito was caught and proven to be a disgusting scumbag by officials at the Staples Center in Los Angeles before the match began and had the opportunity to seriously injure Mosley with his cement fists.
Once Margarito had his illegal hand wraps removed, the “Tijuana Tornado” was promptly brutalized by Mosley and defeated by ninth round TKO.
Margarito is perceived as the quintessential tough and rugged Mexican pugilist in the ring.
Nevertheless, his attempted actions against Mosley are a cardinal sin in boxing and they should never be forgiven.
"Boxing is considered a crazy and animalistic sport," said Mike Cappiello, a native of Brockton who once fought for the IBO super featherweight title and retired with an impressive mark of 33-6. "Margarito's actions further hurt the outlook of boxing."
Cappiello, the owner of Cappiello Brothers Boxing gym in "The City of Champions," continued his stance against Margarito.
"You need to keep boxing as safe as possible and make sure nothing serious happens to boxers. Margarito should be suspended for more than a year to make a statement."
Margarito is beloved by Mexican fight fans and he is a popular attraction throughout much of the United States.
Once the cheating-weasel is again sanctioned to fight, it will be alluring to watch the “Tijuana Tornado” get savagely bludgeoned by “Pac-Man” this autumn as a form of ring justice.
