Why he might be annoying:

    As a result, he was suspended from boxing for one year.
    On the eve of his fight with Manny Pacquiao, videos surfaced of Margarito mocking a Parkinson's disease patient in reference to Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach, who is stricken with the disease.
    Roach accused Margarito and his trainers for allegedy consuming a banned substance similar to meth hours before the Pacquiao-Margarito fight.
    Despite being badly beaten to the point of his cheeks swollen, his trainers refused to end his duel with Pacquiao.

    He is known for his powerful punches.
    He set a Compubox record of 1,675 punches in 12 rounds in his successful bout against Joshua Clottey.
    After a poor start, he managed to defeat Miguel Cotto via a technical knockout.
