It looks like, no matter how many times he losses, just can't get rid of him until he gets KTFO.
He just keeps coming back with that "warrior" routine playing the tough guy everybody ducks.
I hope Cotto can land one of those body punches and get him out of there. However I think Cotto will realize that he can't and will decide to box ( like he did against Mosley in the late rounds) and will win by UD. You don't need Floyd Mayweather skills to outbox a guy like Margarito, that's how slow he is. The Floyd would put a 120-108 beating on this guy. Cotto will probably get away with a 116-111 type beat down taking a few shots along the way. Either way I don't think Cotto will lose. He has proven himself against better, faster, more accurate opponents to lose to a guy like Margarito.
I hope I'm wrong and Cotto scores a Ko or Tko. Cotto just got done knocking around a tough mexican in his last fight, who has never been knocked down or out before. There is always a first for guys who have no defense no matter how tough they are.
Who better then Cotto. More skilled then Cintron (or anybody that Margarito has faced) with better ability to land accurate punches and just as much punching power to do some serious damage.
The Tiujana Tornado Hype needs to end.

Margarito should kill himself. He's insulting us by breathing.
You only made half your argument. You failed to show how he was in the same class as Ward (who lost at least a dozen fights) and Gatti (who lost to Ivan Robinson twice in his prime). Robinson wasn't even as good as Rodney Jones.
That's why I said "He is barely above the C-level" meaning he is slightly ahead of the Ward's and Gatti's.
But not by much skillwise and accomplishment wise.
Gatti is a 2-division champion. Margarito failed in his first attempt at a 154 title and ran back down to fight weaker, shorter fighters.
Three out of these four statements are so stupid it's laughable. And I'm picking Cotto to win.
Which 3 and why? Show me what's wrong about what I said.
Thanks in advance.
Because why? Maybe you think more highly of the Tornado then I do.
What I see is a guy who:
A. Lost decisions to low caliber fighters like Rodney Jones. But yeah he was young.
B. Failed to adjust in a rematch against Santos and suffered the same fate again.
C. on his way to getting outboxed by Clottey, taking some serious shots in the first 4 rounds making Clottey look like a great boxer. And would have lost if Clottey knew how to adjust his game like Floyd, when getting your hand injured.
D. Getting outboxed by Paul Williams making him look like a great boxer/mover. Quintana showed what one can do to Williams if one has some decent skills.
We can keep going. Probably all the way to latter Z.

Margarito won a unanimous decision over Clottey, a guy that no other top welterweight wants to fights. People can whine all they want about his damaged hand, it was Margarito who had surgery after the fight, not Clottey. He was starting to get to Santos when he lost because of a butt in a dubious decision in Santos' hometown.
Are u pple serious??? Giving Cotto no shot to win???? You guys must be either Mexican or serious Margarito cock suckers to say Cotto has no shot to win, this is the funniest thing I read since the time when pple said Gomez had a chance to defeat Cotto, just cuz he was staring at Cotto hard in the press conferences LMAO....I'm level headed and I say Cotto will win, I never said Cotto will steam roll over Margarito, although I will LAUGH MY FUCKN ASS OFF if that happens:boxing:

What hype?...The people who say Margarito is the most feared welterweight who could KO the likes of mayweather are just fooling themselves...
The real Hype here is Cotto
But unlike Margarito, Cotto actually earned his hype beating some of the best fighters in his divison climbing in the P4P rankings, staying undefeated doing it.
The Margarito Hype Machine was created by Bob Arum and his mythical 8million dollar offer.....not by anything that Margarito did in the ring.

People who like Margarito are the type that like the movie Gladiator. They like their movies like they like their boxers. Dumb, machismo, and overrated.
Margarito's got no plan B. He goes in swinging and takes everything on his dumb golem chin. It's just gonna take someone with good (not great) boxing skills to beat him. Oh wait Paul Williams already did that.
That last comment just proves that you are talking out of your ass.

Strong statement.
But the reality is, he has a 100 shots to win.
I might have taken your statement into consideration if Floyd was in the opposite corner. We're both Floyd fans for a reason.
But this is "Margarito" we're talking about. A fighter who is barely above the C-level of fighters like Gatti, Ward any others.
That last comment just proves that you are talking out of your ass.
hush pumpkin denial wont get you out of it.
you remember the man that owned you. boxing_prospect owns vladimir on this site. i got threads to prove it.
im surprised that being the cotto hater that you are you picking him over margarito. finally recognizing the man's skills are we.
LOL.......where do these mutants come from?
Keeping score of what? I don't even know who you are.
And if you're picking Cotto then what's the problem? hush pumpkin denial wont get you out of it.
you remember the man that owned you. boxing_prospect owns vladimir on this site. i got threads to prove it.

that's too easy, but i wanted to see if you were paying attention and keeping score.
.

And if you're picking Cotto then what's the problem?
I give Cotto NO shot to win.
It's ridiculous to give Cotto no shot at all. He's the favorite to win the fight for a reason. You're looking at what you want to happen, but you're not looking at what Cotto can do to Margarito. Saying Cotto has no chance is stupid.
Did you put comprehension and skills in the same sentence????
:rofl: :rofl:
Yes I did. And since you feel the need to bring up me making a thread where I didn't actually pick Forbes but only had fun with it to spice up the fight and make it more interesting for me....I had to set you straight.
Stop being a doofus.
Why would I retire???
So you're picking Margarito???? I don't wanna get you banned permenently but I am willing to do a 2-month no posting bet with you.
What do you say slick? that's too easy, but i wanted to see if you were paying attention and keeping score. if you look at my previous posts i picked cotto to win. and im still sticking to it. the boy is too good.
just wanted to fuck around with you.
cotto takes it imo
i would happily take you up on the bet once mayweather grows some balls and steps in with cotto. this could take time but im always open to that deal. but be careful what you wish for vlad. this is fucking cotto not a ricky hatton.
Wow this Gomez person really has it out for me.
Besides posting Zelenoff videos and making wannabe funny threads about other posters......this is his only other shtick around here.
Cupcake, you need to get off my nuts, you're not achieving anything.
