Sure Cotto fought Clottey then Pacquiao now Margarito. You could ask him to fight Chad Dawson too. I bet people would like the fight to be this December, dont worry Cotto will be ready by this Christmas.
Both got beaten down is what I mean.
ahh ok...
Cotto should not have quit homie, no ifs ands or buts. margarito was in a much worse situation against Mosley, and jermaine taylor was in a worse situation against Froch, and those two guys went out like warriors.
I was just recalling in my mind the quote above and I thought that you were still talking about that. I was even going to start a thread about this...

and you still compare cotto situation with margaritos situation after mosley..
you are BLIND... please can you explain how margarita was in a worst situation that cotto after margarita beat him??

As fans, I doubt any of us give a shit about the split since we will not recieve any of it.This fight needs to be made. Both just got decimated, each should have a tune up on the same card in late winter, and then should match up in summer.

With the right stamina and clinching, YES.
so you don't think that if a boxer is not able to breathe in through his nose that his stamina is greatly reduced???
It seems al most everyone is missing this obvious issue cotto has.
I am definitely not the most knowledgeable person, but I have never ever seen a boxer bleed as much through the nose than cotto. it happend 2 times and he lost both of those matches.. hmmm coincidence?
of course there are other things he needs to improve but if he don't figure out a way to fix that he is DONE..... pa fuera...
I love the little "commentary" they did on the margo fight...lol. See the zoom-in of the blood stain and fukin hole in that wrap? Jesus H. kriste...woops sorry Bully...didn't mean to break your thread rule.
Bad jaz! Down, boy, down! :spank:
I think the best fight for him next would be the winner of Mosley/Berto. It would bring good numbers and setup the winner well. I don't see a long career for Cotto, a couple more money fights and he needs to call it.
this fight needs to get done. enough with excuses!!! margarito KO 6th rd
why does it need to get made??? why dont you margarita fans want him to fight mosley? thats the man he needs to go after not cotto, if anything cotto is the one who should be going after margarita.
maragarita just wants an easy fight and an easy payday... fu ck him.
It is the only intriguing match up left for the two at the moment. Enough with the bullshit about cheating and what not.
you mean mosley vs margarito is not intriguing enough for you?? GTFOH
people just don't learn.. cotto might be this and that but he is for sure a man that sticks to his word. he is not going to fight margo..every body keeps wishing it but is not going to happen.
and IMO regardless of weather margarita cheated or not he broke cotto and manny proved it. If they meet again like another poster said cotto would not even be able to look as good as he did the first time against margarita. he would definitely loose.
**** maragarita
I would love to believe that, but I don't see it.
Didn't think you would. But i respect your opinion...i just think Cotto needs to become a new person. His pride really hindered his performance in all his tough fights. He needs to get humble and accept help and advice from a really good trainer and team. And he DOES need time off...too many back to back wars.
He ain't ready for another one so soon. Especially with margo.
I agree with Savor 100% on this. He need to take a long rest, recuperate from all these back to back wars, fire EVERYBODY, including all family members from his team, hire a real trainer and stop being so dam stubborn and start from scratch, and listen to his trainer and corner.
He needs to re-invent himself. Some re-constructive surgery would be good, his nose is really easily breakable i hear, and he needs to strenghten up that scar area from the Clottey headbutt. Then a few tune up fights to re-establish and polish up his newly developed skills and then he can start reclaiming his place.
Bully, you just see Cotto is in a really vulnerable state right now and want to throw him to the wolves to get rid of him. Have you no shame? And i hope he doesn't give mortorito a chance to make one single penny off of him. If he does, he will beat his ass but good, if he does as Savor and I mentioned. Even worse that old Mosely did. Cotto is still young with a great record. He's comin' back, and it ain't gonna be a pretty sight. Well, for Cotto fans it will! :popcorn:
I would love to believe that, but I don't see it.
Cotto could beat him if he didn't fight like an idiot.
I don't think Margarito is that hard to beat if you're willing to fight a smart fight. The problem is Cotto's a stubborn moron.
Anytime Tony gets close, clinch, turn him, rinse and repeat. All you really have to do is smother him.
It's just that Cotto doesn't fight like that, and if you don't fight like that Tony will eat you alive.
If Cotto gets a trainer and sticks to a good gameplan, he could definitely beat Margarito.

Hatton would demand 140. Hatton is a bigger draw than Cotto.
he's a bigger draw, but i don't think hatton has as much "star power" as he did prior to his ass whoopings, not to mention cotto pretty much has NO chance of making 140.
i think they could do the fight at maybe 143....
sad thing is, before, i would've said hatton stood NO chance, even at 143, against cotto. now, even tho i still think cotto takes the fight, possibly by KO, i wouldn't be confident enough to bet on it (real $$$).
anyone see right before manny/cotto the close ups they had of margaritos hands right after the cotto fight in the ring?
thoughts?
when the shit first went down, i was among the ppl who said, margarito "probably" used plaster for cotto, but since there was no proof.......
i now firmly believe he did, proof or not.
the biggest problem with the use of the plaster in that fight, is not necessarily what happened that night, but the lingering effects it will have on cotto. he's still good, but dude is nowhere near the same animal he was before that fight, and i honestly don't think he'll ever be again.
pre-margarito, i felt there wasn't a better WW in the world than cotto (besides floyd).
now, i think ANY of the top WW's would stand a good chance of beating dude.
true, but i was just saying cotto has other options, for lucrative fights besides margarito.
i'm sure he could get hatton at another catchweight if he wanted.
before the pacman fight, which i thought cotto would lose, i said cotto should fight margarito next, if he lost to manny. but seeing as how he was beaten the way he was, i don't think cotto, or any of his supporters, want him anywhere near margarito right now. he'd get annihalated.
for the record, i do believe margarito used plaster in the first fight, but w/ or w/o plaster, i doubt cotto would be able to keep margarito off his ass, and the last thing he wants to face right now, is another fighter that can take what he dishes out, and keep coming at him for 12 rounds.
fight margarito, if he wants to retire after. but if cotto wants to resume his career, and hopes to make it amongst the top level fighters again, i'd stay far, far away from margarito right now. maybe in a year or so, they can make it happen.

I would think the winner of Shane Berto would look for bigger fights. Probably for the Mayweather vs pacquiao winner or loser.
