Antonio Margarito (born 1978) was one of the most durable and punishing welterweights of his era, known for a brutal body attack and the ability to absorb enormous punishment while continuing to pressure opponents.
Career Highlights
- Professional record: 40 wins, 27 by KO, 8 losses
- WBO welterweight champion; IBF junior middleweight champion
- Brutal 11th-round TKO stoppage of Miguel Cotto in 2008
Margarito was suspended after illegal hand wraps were found before his 2009 fight with Shane Mosley — a scandal that tainted his record and led to re-evaluation of some earlier performances.
