Would it be wise for Cotto to have a rematch with Tony?

Who knows, maybe Margarito will never be the same also. I don't think Cotto could ever beat that Margarito.

its easy to gass out cotto didn't take a beating. he gassed. he got his nose broken and his mouth busted i am sure he was having problems breathing,I believe that is what made the difference in the fight,not to take anything away from margarito:argue:

I disagree to a certain extent. He didn't employ the best fight strategy - he never touched Margarito to the body (which 100% of analysts knew was his key to a victory), and you have to tie up and box in the middle of the ring. I'm not saying this would change the outcome - but Cotto fell into the notion of trying to bust Tony's chin up and neglected much everything else. Tony is too tall, too strong - I agree with that. 100% of analysts didn't say that. It would be foolish to go for body shots against Margarito. First off, Cotto is 4 inches shorter, in order to land body shots, he needs to get inside and drop his hands to land punches inside, exposing his chin even more to Margarito's uppercuts. There's nothing Cotto did wrong, as a matter of fact he fought superbly in the first 6 rounds, making very few if any mistakes. He also did what everyone on here is saying he didn't do, tie up and come forward. When he did tie up, Marg punished him more before and after the clinch. When Cotto came forward he was manhandled by Marg's strength and power. This was Chavez vs Taylor all over again and if they do rematch Marg will KO him in under 8.

After seeing this fight, and some of Margarito's others I don't really think he's all that slow and plodding it's been said over and over again how Marg needs several rounds to warm up, but look how was able to close the gap vs Miguel Cotto through out the fight. so is he really all that slow and plodding? or is that a generalization about Margarito that will just never go away? margarito is slow and plodding... the reason he got the tko is because cotto gassed.

I mean that type of beating can ruin a fighter. Hell if he isnt ruined already. I think a rematch will officially ruin him, win lose or draw! cotto didn't take a beating. he gassed.

Not only they're having a rematch, but they'll be also having a trilogy cuz Cotto will avenge his lost the next time he faces Margarito. If Cotto wants to stablish his greatness, then he should/must KO Margarito twice.

if he's great, he has to try to avenge the loss. but we know he's not great, so no point really. a great fighter wouldn't lose to a slow, plodding guy After seeing this fight, and some of Margarito's others I don't really think he's all that slow and plodding it's been said over and over again how Marg needs several rounds to warm up, but look how was able to close the gap vs Miguel Cotto through out the fight. so is he really all that slow and plodding? or is that a generalization about Margarito that will just never go away?

cotto deserves a rematch thats for sure, but i would like to see him bounce back first... have a couple good wins here and there against andre berto type opposition then next year we can have a bigger showdown... that is IF cotto can even recover from the beating he took last night, and i mean recover both physically and MENTALLY.

No. Cotto didn't make any mistakes that he can correct. he didn't lose cuz he fucked up, he lost cuz he got fucked up. He's got nothin to be ashamed of and he proved he's the better boxer, but that wasn't enough for him to win. Tony's too tough and too strong for him. Cotto fought like a champ and deserves a rematch, but I wouldn't advise him to pursue it.

I mean that type of beating can ruin a fighter. Hell if he isnt ruined already. I think a rematch will officially ruin him, win lose or draw! Yes he should. Whether wise or not, it's about being the best. If by late next year - Cotto and Margarito are champions - then Cotto deserves a rematch and he'll pursue it. It's not like Cotto got beat down the entire fight. I'm not saying the outcome would change, but Cotto will fight the best and another Margo fight is no exception. He needs to dump ECKO and get a El 7 Mares sponsorship :)
