Antonio Margarito used to be a quiet fighter, who did his talking in the ring, but since fighting Shane Mosley and after being suspended by the California State Athletic Commission, he talks more than ever before.
This time Tony disses trainer Freddie Roach for calling him a dirty fighter.
"I am not worried about Roach and his people for calling me dirty, I know I am a clean fighter and I will show it to him and Pacquiao the night of the fight. I have what it takes to knock Pacquiao out and I will do it," Margarito told the Mexican media.
"I m training as hard as I can in Oxnard, California, it won't be too dificult, it is just a matter of putting the pressure on Manny and that is it, at this weight class I am bigger, stronger, I have the confidence that I can put Pacquiao to sleep, no doubt."
Antonio Margarito feels that Roach has disrespected him and Pacquiao will pay for that. The only problem is that Morales, Barrera, Marquez, De La Hoya, Diaz, etc. said the same thing and we all know the final result.
