Margarito vs Cotto who you picking?

African Assassin wrote:I picked Marg to take this fight back in april when it was announced... and skills cotto is a good fighter but i thought he had more heart than that. It looked like marg did to cotto what cotto did to judah and he got his ASS TORN APART and quit! cottos appauling behaviour in the 11th makes me lose a lot of respect for him and he does not have a champions heart. Boxing didn't work, running didn't work and brawling didn't work for the midget from PR. The iron chinned relentless big man fucks up the supposed talented little man with short arms and no balls as expected.

there is no shame in breaking down mentally in a fight with margarito...his style makes it almost inevitable...unless your my man
Paul "The Punisher" Williams!

When is Ray Leonard returning to HBO ? Im tired of Steward, and where is Larry Merchant ?

Think Cotto had the wrong gameplan, he was simply moving way too much.
Should have stayed close, Margaritos punches are bombs when they get room. Plus thats the reason he got exhausted.

cotto wouldn't have a chance staying close, he can't trade with him. The gameplan was all good besides only throwing headshots.

I mean, cotto got most of his past knockouts with bodyshots and margarito's head can't get hurt, you'd think it would logic that he'd throw some to the body. But it was 100% head shots.

Had he just boxed through two last rounds he would have won. Dont understand his collaps

Man cotto Had that fight in the bag those damn body shots started to kik in thow man that sucks ='[

Mikkel if you noticed Margarito was tagging Cotto during the first six rounds and he broke cotto's nose in the second and was gonna win regardless of the KO since he was ahead by 2 rounds going into the eleventh. Also Cotto faught the best fight he could possibly ever fight against Margarito and if he stood there and traded he would have been Ko'ed a lot sooner than he was. Cotto also hit the guy with everything in the book somthing like 280 of his best power punches with bad intentions, and in boxing when you are known as a big puncher and you can't get your opponent to respect your power that fucks with your mind, and you could see fear in Cotto's eyes by the tenth round and the guy usually has the facial expession of an assassin.

Also Cotto couldn't hit margarito to the body because if any of you guys follw margarito's career you will see than this guy defends his body 90 percent of the fight since his elbows are alwas pressed firmly againsed his ribcage and even if he would attempt to he would have ate alot more left uppercuts and Cotto knew this. If you watch the fight closley you will see Cotto did throw a few body shots, but he payed a huge price for em. All in all Cotto excecuted his game plan to a "t", but got brutalized, punished and eventually knocked out in the process. Seriously i was scared for cotto seing Marg take em shots and keep sprinting towards cotto like they were Joe Calzaghe slaps.... seriously the dude reminded me of Jason the way he was walking through Cottos best shots and smiling at the same time.

PS. Red Viper remember how I used to call u the antonio margarito of Ob and you didn't know who i was talking about I bet you understand now.

African the Cotto Margarito fight rememberd me of the OB fights we used to have. You could box beautiful for a few rds but eventually I always walked you down and knocked you out.

Cotto surprised me fightn like tht like a stick n move type style he executed perfectly....every other contender n the divison would hav lost to Cotto while he was fightn like tht....but Margarito is an exception cuz of his steel chin...

But if i was Cotto i would not RM Margarito and take a 2nd loss...he shud just go back to tht same style he used n this fight against like 3 good contenders untill he gets back on top...

i got cotto by close decision if they ever rematch
