There's a lot of Cotto Bashing right now!

A lot of Margarito fans are really running at the mouth, and I'm not saying they shouldn't. This is a forum and they have every right to share their opinions and support their fighter but.. All these threads and talk of Margarito destroying Cotto with ease and inside of 5 rounds sounds more like insecurity rearing it's ugly head. The Cotto fans like the Marg fans are obviously confident that their fighter is going to win but you don't see them going on and on about invincibility and how the fight is going to be a cake walk. Any objective boxing fan realizes this is going to be a tough fight for both men and very likely a war of attrition. I hope this post doesn't sound like I'm talking trash to the Margarito fans b/c that's not the purpose but.. Lets get serious. This is going to be a tough close and hard fought fight for whoever wins. Anyone else have any objective opinions in anticipation of the fight? I agree. I think Cotto wil win but it will be verry difficult, maybe he will be knocked down or something but hes the better boxer and Margarito is not as fast as Mosley or Judah and i think Cotto will be able to avoid or block most punches.

funny how a lot of mayweather fans are now margarito "fans". lol.............

has anyone seen posters for this fight?

This fight could bring in really good numbers but it hasnt got the push it needed to sell to the mainstream.Most of what the mainstream knows about this fight is from word of mouth from hardcore boxing fans.They need to run off HBO's vp of sports in the worst way.

That's ghay, my ONDEMAND doesn't have it yet :( instead it has some lame TNT WWE bullshit. Nah its on there, go on On Demand, Movies & Events, then PPV Events Preview. You'll see it.

I don't know what the casual fans think but.. This should get 375K.. Everyone needs to be tuning in.

HAHAHA it's 2008 and judah is done. This is a "stay busy" fight for Clottey. I disagree. These guys are pretty evenly match at this point. Should be a good fight.

I agree. I think speed alone is enough to beat Clottey who will just keep plodding forward. Zab can eiether get an easy UD against this bum or KO his ass. Clottey is wide open for an uppercut. Should be a good fight though. And it will allow Zab to get a fight with Cotto Marg winner.Now pauls likely fuckin off to 154. HAHAHA it's 2008 and judah is done. This is a "stay busy" fight for Clottey.

I got Comcast cable, where can I see that? P.S. :nutkick: Go On Demand and then go to PPV Events. They got the preview there. Enjoy Cabron :fuckyou:

I know I shit on some of the Marg fans sometimes, but only to those who ask for it (plus it kills time at the 9-5 sometimes lol). But to speak objectively, Margarito IMO just doesn't have the complete package to beat Cotto. As a matter of fact if anyone has Comcast cable they've already put up the Countdown to Cotto vs Margarito up and Margarito states that the reason he lost to Paully is because he tried boxing and switching up which didn't seem to work in his favor thus he will just continue to do what got him recognition which was to continue punching. But realistically against Cotto I don't think that's going to work considering Cotto moves around the ring and selects his shots. I believe Margarito's endurance will take a toll on him if Cotto is able to land hard hooks to the body. Cotto's also gotta be careful for Marg's uppercuts, but they have to come from a short distance instead of lunging if Tony wants to be successful with that. I think the fight will come down to Cotto's jab and who can frustrate the other. Some are expecting a war, but I think it'll be a little more one sided than it's being made to be. I have Cotto winning by a late TKO . PS: Fuck Shalafi :wave: lol

First off, this is my first post, sup everybody! I'll admit it right from the start, I like Cotto. It's hard not to, I'm puerto rican and Cotto is a good fighter. Just like Mexicans can't hate Margarito. He also is a good fighter and a good family man, as is Cotto. I respect both of them so instead of bashing either of them, I plan on looking forward to July 26th when two worriors let thier very own fists do the talking for us.

i think the fight will be similar to the mosley fight. cotto UD in a close match if not then marg by stoppage

funny how a lot of mayweather fans are now margarito "fans". huh? I like mayweather and I think cotto will win.

This is going to be a tough close and hard fought fight for whoever wins. Anyone else have any objective opinions in anticipation of the fight? I think there's alot of smart rational people on both sides and alot of idiots and fan boys on both sides to.You just don't notice the rational thinkers and objective fans as much because there not as loud as the others.I really don't mind the idiots as much as i do the fan boys though because i think the idiots do it in part to try and hype them self up for the fight and make a emotional investment in the fight and there fighter to make the fight more enjoyable and seem much grander to them.The fan boys really piss me off though because they often lack real boxing knowledge and really believe the stuff they say.They only follow one fighter at a time and disrespect most every other fighter deserved or not.You talk to any reasonable fan of either guy honestly about this fight and they will tell you there more worried about this fight than any other fight there guy has been in because there is a good chance either guy could not only get beat but taken out in a very brutal fashion.

I gotcha.. but then I think these Cotto fans need to start talking more sh*t. THey're slacking. That's only because some of their most arrogant posters have been temporarily banned. LMAO!

Whatever the case.. Mayweather better stay in the gym if he plans on coming out of retirement to fight a WW.

I gotcha.. but then I think these Cotto fans need to start talking more sh*t. THey're slacking. They're Puerto Ricans, what'd you expect? They're not sure if they're from a state or a country, so they just chill. Just a joke Puerto Rocks!

I can understand how some members may feel like this fight is being a little overhyped. But you have to understand the rivalry between PR and Mex. This is another De La Hoya vs Trinidad for us. The trash talking is inevitable. I gotcha.. but then I think these Cotto fans need to start talking more sh*t. THey're slacking.

I know he did, and Gomez said he was gonna beat Cotto. Boxers have to say these things. But for fans to repeat it like it should be an understood fact is a different story. If you don't think you see an excess of boasting for margs on this site and Cotto bashing then maybe i'm crazy. I'm not even a major Cotto fan. It's just that I don't see what all the nonsense hype going around is. Who knows.. Maybe this is a blowout. I can understand how some members may feel like this fight is being a little overhyped.

you gotta be kidding me. I can link you to several different posts by several posters talking shit on margarito and making cotto out to be the best boxer in history. Don't be so biased over there! About a half hour ago there were 6 threads bashing Cotto. It's definitely more in the other direction. Who knows.. Maybe the Cotto fans are just less supportive.
