The difference is that Floyd potshots and moves away while Cotto will land 2-3 combos and move away, he'll stayin the ropes and exchange and move away.
Cotto should have moved a lot more. I don't know what his corner was doing. But they should have told him to stay off the ropes at all costs. No one can continually afford to stay on the ropes against Margarito. Even Williams knew to stay in the center of the ring. And hey what a bout a clinch? Cotto should have tied up more. This is something Mayweather/Wlad are good at doing. They try to avoid as much hurt as they can by clinching when in close.
why you guys hatin on Cotto. He fought his heart out, but when you are against someone who throws alot of punches and keeps comming no matter how much you hit him you will eventually have to stop sometime. Cotto is still a great fighter, its just that Marg is freakin huge and his beard is incredible. He has tremendous power and throws punches at all angles. Which why Floyd did not want to fight him instead he fought Baldimor. Marg is way too much heart and power for Floyd. Just watch the Castillo fight and you will see how Marg would win. People keep saying look at the Dela Hoya fight, but Hoya doesn't have that pop you used to have. And he can't sustain constant pressure, but yet he still could have won that fight. Fight could have gone either way.
Either way Props to MARG and Cotto for giving us fans a good fight.
Maybe thats because he didnt put himself in the ring with someone that could do it? IE the guy who offered him 8 mill?
Actually, Floyd did get in the ring with a guy who offered him $8.1 million (Carlos Baldomir). Carlos Baldomir was the Ring Magazine champion at the time (which means he was the best in the welterweight division, not Margarito). At that time Margarito was considered no better than the third best fighter at welterweight and now he is second best behind Paul Williams. Before Margarito or stupid idiots like you start talking about Mayweather, he needs to avenge his loss to Paul Williams. Until he does, he is still nothing more than the second best welterweight in the division.
What you mean is:
FLOYD HAS ELITE SKILLS AND MOBILITY AND USES THEM AGIN THE BIGGER AND STRONGER MEN.
Margarito did to Cotto what Cotto did to Judah.
He made him take knees.
He made him look bullied and broken.
And Cotto didn't go out on his shield the way you fuckers hyped him.
Miguel Cotto was brave until he was overwhelmed.
100% RESPECT TO MIGUEL COTTO
But this is:
KARMA
Sin City :wave:
KING :wave:
BMWM3P :wave:
!! Shawn :wave:
Not all of those are unbearable, just King comes to mind as someone i would (and did) insta ignore. But yeah they will be gone for a while... Or at least until they find another nut. It's sad really. You have fans of boxing and then you have these nuthuggers (all fighters have them) who are here to watch their fighters win, and the minute they lose they are gone for a while until a warm nut appears...
The difference is that Floyd potshots and moves away while Cotto will land 2-3 combos and move away, he'll stayin the ropes and exchange and move away.
And that got him TKOed. What you have to say now? Floyd knew how to fight much bigger men. Cotto never learned that. I was also wrong as i said Cotto UD, but you will NOT see me removing Cotto from my favorite list like many of the supposed Cotto fans will in a 48 hour period.
It was a great win for Margs. I had Cotto and thought he was slightly ahead at the time of stoppage, but Margarito has a great beard and was relentless with his pressure.
Saying Rito had a great beard is an understatement, I cant believe he took all those punches while chasing cotto down, I had cotto up as well by a point but saw all the signs that he was getting tired.
I felt sorry seeing his son cry like that..
cotto isnt finished boy,
im sure he will be back,
he is still an elite fighter
who knows maybe there will be a rematch
Cotto definitely isnt finished, He fought the wrong fight by backing off every round..when he knows he fades in most championship rounds.
The difference is that Floyd potshots and moves away while Cotto will land 2-3 combos and move away, he'll stayin the ropes and exchange and move away.
Will you ever give the Floyd shit up? lol
Cotto fought a lot like Floyd tonight but he gets hit unlike Floyd.
I never get into these comments on this forum but I have to chime in on this one. Mayweather is cotto + faster, better stamina, and better ring intelligence. It is no way in hell Margarito would wear Mayweather down. He's built 4 that kind of fight. He would pot shot him to death. Margarito is way too slow, pressure or no pressure. WOuld it be tough 4 him, yes, but he would make a joke of Margarito, simply. UD 4 Floyd. Get real.
Who give a fly f**k? This isnt about floyd...Great win Tony congrats
It was a great win for Margs. I had Cotto and thought he was slightly ahead at the time of stoppage, but Margarito has a great beard and was relentless with his pressure.
That disgusted me.......did the Cott camp watch any tape of Margarito? So stupid......why would you lean right into the left uppercut the whole night?
Mayweather doesn't need to hurt Margarito to beat him, hed potshot the hell out of him and dance all night. It seems Margarito is REALLY Floyd's Marvin Hagler.
cotto isnt finished boy,
im sure he will be back,
he is still an elite fighter

exactly...i think there SHOULD be a rematch....Cotto was BLASTING the Strawberry Margarita all night....Tony just kept coming and coming....and Cotto could not knock him down....
shut the fuck up, don't even mention floyd's name in the same breath as cotto. cotto cannot box and he is finsihed . he will get destroyed in a rematch if he doen't learn lateral movement.
funny a floyd hater like yourself mentioning floyd now:wave:
cotto isnt finished boy,

where were the combinations against Baldomir? how bout DLH? did Floyd stay in the cut and exchange? excactly.
the problem is Floyd wont put himself in a ring with someone like Margarito. Thats the truth.
Do you even realize what an absurd argument it is that you're presenting?
You: PBF doesn't throw combinations because he didn't against Baldomir or DLH.
Me: How about watching, oh, any other fight of his then?
You: Oh yeah, those are the only fights of his I've ever seen apparently.
Go away.
Maybe thats because he didnt put himself in the ring with someone that could do it? IE the guy who offered him 8 mill?
no, your boy just couldn't finish....he was winning the fight but got worn down and beaten in the late rounds....man up...Cotto will man up...so should you...
say what you want about PBF...but he is undefeated....end of story...doesn't matter how you do it...it just matters that you get the W
