yup...there will those that will take the elitist stance and say that both fighters are irrelevant or not as relevant as before, but fukk it...i LOVE a good grudge match...this place should be heated by November
I bet all my points that this fight will be more entertaining than Floyd - Ortiz by a wiiide margin.

No way I can expect this fight to be better than the first. They'll both bring it, but I just can't picture that good a fight happening.
In the first fight, it was really supposed to be another step up fight against a rugged opponent that Cotto with all his skills should have walked away with a comfy UD as he preps for the big $$.
It was also supposed to be a chance for Margarito to hit the big stage, where he's had good wins and good fights, but no shining moment.
It was really meant to amp up Cotto for PPV greatness and ended up shining on Margarito
Fast forward 3 yrs later, controversy and *** whuppings later, now its about Cotto trying one last grasp of going back to the pathway he was embarking on before being derailed and Margarito trying to prove he's not a habitual cheat and that his best win of his career is legit.
Its essentially a lose and hang em up fight, I can't conclude no other way that this fight won't be better than the original. Both guys with everything to gain and everything to lose just by this one fight.
Now in 2008, Cotto was a bit more reckless and more of an animal, and he'll be a bit more controlled and pacing himself, but Margarito is still Margarito. I can't ****ing wait, I'm hyping myself up just thinking about watching another war, live this time. F*ck Vegas!
