Cotto vs Margarito on May 3

yea now this is what im talkin about this is a fight we need to see i would lvoe see this 5 times and pay for each

Not happening. HBO gave the May PPV date to Golden Boy and Cotto-Gomez is at the end of April. fuck the golden boy, is he gonna try to put Barrera in a ppv that date? I wish he would just retire and leave some ppv dates for Arum, his stable has some promising fighters who can't get dates on hbo because they love Oscar.

This is a much better fight, though Margarito has done nothing to earn it.

well this fight is very good en terms of names but i dont see it would be a dramatic fight. Cotto is a better all around boxer so dont expected that cotto would stop in front of margarito to exchange. I expected a fight of cotto very similar to the shane mosley one but too more precautios. It would be a UD of cotto in a very bored fight cotto running all around the ring and just doing the enough to get a win.

Good things. They should have Judah fight Gomez on the undercard. nice idea there Please, oh man, I hope so bad that this news is true. everyone knows this would be a great fight to watch, why not have it?

This is most likely not going to happen. May 3 is a HBO PPV date for Golden Boy Promotions. If Oscar isn't fighting, which looks very likely now, it will be reserved for either Shane Mosley or possibly even Hopkins-Calzaghe since no date has been finalized there. Now comes news that Barrera will be on the card...one would HOPE the undercard, but there's no way GBP yields the main event of this date to two Top Rank guys. Mosley-Cintron works for me, but you better have a stacked undercard if you want to sell PPVs.

Mayweather would love this to happen. Two of some of his biggest threats are going to hurt each other and only leave one for him to worry about.

This would give Cotto 3 quality victories in the WW division in the last year to Mayweather's 0. your keeping that pressure on happy

I hope this is the truth.

I think he meant it won't make a big difference in the date, it's only a few days a part different. Yup; I meant that if Cotto fought Gomes it would be on April 26, but if he fought Margo it would be on May 3. So if you think he can fight 3 times this year if he fought Gomes, there is no reason not to think he couldnt fight 3 times this year by fighting Margo on May 3. (Of course; Margo is a much tougher opponent, and if the fight is a war I can see Cotto taking a long rest and fighting only 2 times)

I think he meant it won't make a big difference in the date, it's only a few days a part different. I know but I am talking about Cotto taking both fights. Cotto may still only get 2 bouts this year, hopefully it's 3.

Stylistically speaking, it is a very similar match up buddy. castillo nor corrales while in presence, would never be caught dead throwing wide telegraphed hooks ala margarito. so i'm still missing the analogy.

Thats what I thought too, but the Gomes fight would be on April 26 and the Cotto/Margo fight would be May 3. Thats only a week apart, doesnt make that much difference on the schedule. No way in a hell a boxer in this day and age would fight 2 weeks apart unless they were just starting out. That seems HIGHLY unlikely. As a matter of fact, if Cotto were to do this he would quickly become one my favorite fighter. WON'T HAPPEN.

Better fight than Cotto-Gomez, that's for sure.

I will give him props for going straight to a Marg fight. That would mean he may only get 2 fights this year. Thats what I thought too, but the Gomes fight would be on April 26 and the Cotto/Margo fight would be May 3. Thats only a week apart, doesnt make that much difference on the schedule.

Very similar matchup. margarito's on par w/ a corrales or a castillo? hardly.

who wins between gomez and judah? that would be a close one

I will give him props for going straight to a Marg fight. That would mean he may only get 2 fights this year.
