A beautiful and exciting fight.
No flames please, this thread is simply to appreciate a world class effort.
Two guys who put it out there in front of the whole world. Cotto has nothing to be ashamed of, anyone who calls him a quitter is a fool plain and simple. Cotto fought like a man and never held a single time save for when he was clearly hurt.
This is the kind of fight that just proves how worthless Mayweather is to mainstream boxing. More excitement in each round of this fight than in the entire OLDH/Mayweather fight.
This fight only make me a bigger fan of both fighters and here is to hoping that they both continue to provide these type of fights for boxing fans all over the world.
One of the most exciting fights I've ever seen and definately the most fun I've ever had watching a fight. I can't see a reason to take anything away from Cotto, his performance was world class. Margarito has the chin of Hagler it seems, and his stamina is amazing. This is a fight where even though Cotto lost he put on such a display I can't wait to see him fight again. Margarito really proved to the boxing world what he can do.
Amazing.

Agree 100%. Who would want to watch Mayweather run from true welters for a 12 rd. boring decision or watch an overthe hill Oscar when they could see such brutal warriors go at in a real fight. This match boosted boxing as a sport.
They both gave their hearts in that fight, Cotto for the punishment he endured and Margarito for the will to beat a man who was highly favored over him. They are the key to what boxing needs.
The fight was GREAT. I mean, Since 4AM Sunday morning when the fight first happened (UK Time) I have watched it in full 3 times, and i watched some of it for a while when i was waiting for something to come on TV.
Great fight, BIG props to both guys.
Great thread

my sentiments exactly!!!!! great post!!!!!
Cotto fought a dangerous guy he didnt have to fight. Props to him. And Margarito stepped up in his biggest fight and beat one of the top p4p fighters in world. They both fought hard and took some vicious shots. You cant ask for more then that.
Thing is, they didn't even really need to fight each other. They gave us a great fight, everyone should respect that.
yup, they continue to take on top flight opposition time and time again.
There will be no taking it easy, Antonio Margarito wont do anything besides take the next toughest fight available.
