Antonio Margarito
Antonio Margarito Montiel (born on March 18, 1978 in Torrance, California) is a Mexican/American boxer, and former World Boxing Association Welterweight Champion. He is also a former International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Organization Welterweight champion. Margarito's reputation was tarnished by an incident in which his corner is alleged to have tampered with his hand wraps prior to his bout with Shane Mosley, which were found by the CSAC to contain sulfur and calcium which, when combined with oxygen, forms "Plaster of Paris". He also now manages IBF Lightweight Champion Miguel Vazquez. Margarito resides in Tijuana, Mexico.

Welterweight
Margarito compiled a record of 18-3 in his relatively brief amateur career, indicating that he turned pro quickly because he needed the money. Margarito made his debut at the age of 15, when he beat Jose Trujillo in Tijuana by decision. On April 25, he achieved his first knockout win, defeating Victor Angulo in the second round. On October 17, however, he suffered his first defeat, to Victor Lozoya, by decision in six. Over the course of his next six bouts, he lost two. However, he went onto a winning streak after that loss that went 28-2-1. He had notable wins over such fighters as Alfred Ankamah, Juan Soberanes, Sergio Gabriel Martinez and rivals Buck Smith, David Kamau and Frankie Randall, a former World Jr. welterweight champion who became the first man to beat Chávez in 91 fights.
On July 21, 2001, he got his first world title try against southpaw Daniel Santos for the WBO world Welterweight crown, at Bayamón, Puerto Rico's Rubén Rodríguez Coliseum. The fight had to be stopped in the first round as a consequence of a clash of heads that opened deep gashes on both fighters and sent them both to a nearby hospital. Because the fight had not gone four rounds or more for a technical decision to be awarded, it was declared a no contest, and Santos retained the belt.
Shane Mosley Margarito fought Shane Mosley on January 24, 2009 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. He was battered and outclassed by Mosley and lost the fight and his WBA title by 9th round TKO to Shane Mosley.
