to earn back some respect from fight fans???
I'm a fan of both Margarito and Mosley, and was really looking forward to an all-out war on Saturday. But like most people, I though Margarito would take it via UD. Mosley's performance was amazing and I'm happy for his big win!
So now that Margarito has been knocked off his cloud, and found with that bullshit handwrap thing, what do you all think he needs to do to earn some respect back???
Would another win against Cotto in a rematch do it? How about if the rematch doesn't happen? Would a solid win against Clottey in a rematch help???
Serious answers too by the way please.
few reasons for that
#1 A cotto/ Mosley fight is much better for business.
#2. Cotto now will not gain anything fighting a person who lost his belt.
#3 i beleive this situation about this illegal behavior will cloud the selling of tickets for the event.
#4people will look at a fight with Margarito as a way for Margarito to be back is he beat Cotto again, and i do not beleive cotto team will use cotto as a steping stone for margarito.
i wish i can find a positive ground for this fight to happend, but as you see everything is negative i mean in my opinion
About the only positive thing left for making the rematch is the opportunity for Cotto to avenge his defeat.
But he can win some big fights and piss these kids off even more :rofl:
your feather fisted lover wont win any more big fights. not without his cement wraps.
i do not think that will happen

i dont care what anyone says man marg just didnt have a good night and that happens to everyone yes he lost but it just wasnt his day because marg is usually not that slow he was just unbearable to watch on saturday man.
in his fight with antonio diaz he showed that he has speed he just doesnt use it.
nah, margarito is slow as molasses
You didn't get my post did you? I wasn't making a serious comparison, I was saying that Cotto's face really didn't look that bad. As soon as his uncle wiped the blood off his face, it didn't look that damaged. In other words, Margarito's opponents have looked like that before. Whether it was anything in his gloves or not is still up in the air.
We can't compare the Mosley fight 'cause he barely landed anything on Shane! Plus, Shane's face usually holds up pretty well when he fights.
true i mean marg did punch lujan's ears off.

Margarito has no speed, he makes Valuev look like a prime Ali
Margarito would lose on any day to Mosley, he is not that good
I hope so too man. It's just gonna be interesting to see what he does have left. You gotta admit, you didn't expect him to take a beating in the way he did on Saturday night. Had he just lost a competitive fight, that'd be one thing, but that ass whoopin was something else!

well all of Cottos oponents look that way after they fight Cotto,so how can u compare that

I wouldn't say that. Cotto actually didn't look that bad...it was the bleeding from the mouth and nose that made it look worse. In fact, it can be argued that Margarito's face has never looked like it did after that fight. So should we assume that Cotto had something illegal in his gloves??? No! That's ridiculous!

whats with all this if tony has anything left stuff????
it's not like he's going to immediately comeback he will take a break.
he WILL comeback an dominate and be champion again like he said.

The only thing i dont like about is this marg loaded gloves bollocks is it
takes a little from sugar shane's performance..
Lets not forget Shane taxed his bloodclart
he didnt have a chance to land any blows anyway...
Shane would of fcuked him up loaded gloves or not...
bottom line is something extra was found in his wraps no if or buts about it and also he punished a lot of people before the Cotto fight and none of their faces looked like Cottos did and Cotto has been in battles himself.It makes sense.we will never know but i say he cheated....

Look, I'm not defending Margarito. I believe he (and his team) need to get this cleared up ASAP. If found guilty, pay your fine and do your suspension. If cleared, okay then. Either way, this topic is about what Margarito should do AFTER the handwrap issue is addressed.
Depending on how damaged Margarito is, I think both Quintana and Collazo would give him a good fight...then be broken down in the latter rounds by Tony. Again though, depending on how much he has left.

thats a good idea he should fight carlos quintana he would beat luis collazo tho BADLY IMO. even with his great performance against andre berto.:firedevil

#2-IMO, a guy standing at 5'10/5'11 and walks around at a normal weight of 175-180+ should NOT be fighting anywhere close to 147, i think he should move up to 154 and make the rest of his career out of it....PWill, Santos, etc are fighters out there that he can fight....
I think as long as he can make weight without any problems, there's nothing wrong with that. Hell, he's not the only one. Doesn't Hatton blow up to the 180s between fights??? And he gets all the way down to 140!
Having said that though, this might be the time to move up to 154. He can go for the a Williams rematch, a third fight with Santos, a rematch with Martinez, etc.
That's true. At the same time, I don't think he should get in the ring with some can either (Golden Johnson :lol1:), 'cause that'll just lead to more ridicule from fight fans. How about someone like Luis Collazo? Carlos Quintana? Those guys aren't pushovers, and have the skills to outbox Marg, but they aren't as heavy-handed as Cotto/Mosley/Clottey. Would a win against one of those guys help?

#1-Hand wraps should be investigated and if found guilty of cheating, serve his suspension like people who are caught with P.E.D's and other substances do(unlike Mosely, although i dont ever remember him being caught with them in his system after his fight with DLH)...If not found guilty then get over it, take a long rest, and go back to the drawing board....
