My boy and I were discussing this the other day and we both beleive that if Tony were to put the hurt on Cotto again in a similar fashion it would
1. Retire Cotto for good
2. Put Tony back in the superstar status he had before the SSM fight
Last but not least and most important
3. prove that he wasn't cheating the first time.
What are your thoughts on this?
Remember Tornado Trashers this is in the event he were to beat Cotto not your opinion that he cant and wont win or he is a cheater and doesnt deserve a shot.

i agree with the first one. and only the first one.
imo, he can never bring back the image he had before the ssm fight.
people respect him so much and viewed him as a blue-collar hardworker boxer.
and for the 3rd one, i think he can still beat cotto now and still has the edge.
but it would be completely different, coz cotto's not the way he was before.
he could never erase the suspicion in the back of our minds... and i really doubt that he could do those damages again to cotto if they fight again even if cotto's not like he was before. <---i just dont think shot is the term.
the only way I am in favor of this fight though is if Cotto gets 75 percent of the purse split.
So in otherwords you are not in favor of this fight happening at all?
And why do you care how much Tony makes? If he gets his license back then it means he served hid punishment. How do you justify punishing someone after they served out the sentance.
Makes no fuking sense to me.
I would like to see this fight. I think Cotto will have a better plan and outbox him. Maybe even ko him. but if Margarito beat Cotto most likely he will have bigs fight after that.
Reaching for the stars on this one kid...Cotto would smoke him in a rematch and even if he beat Cotto it wouldnt erase the montrous beatdown Mosley put on him..
ugh is that even an answer to the question the thread started asked? He didn't ask if you thought Cotto would win smart guy.
It erases anyone doubt over his first win against Cotto, which obviously took a bad hit once they found illegal handwraps in his gloves one fight later.
I'm not trying to piss on anyones thread but these Margarito rants of "should've would've could've" are getting played like Tito's high top fade.
I mean a year has come and gone regarding his suspencion and he's still not licensed so why talk about any mega fight with any of boxing's elite much less Cotto?
Cotto rematch paves the way for a SSM rematch, then Marg can attempt to prove that his head was really messed up for that fight and he wasn't fully healed from the first cotto fight... or Margs gets his ass handed to him again...
It would indeed show he could beat Cotto without plaster in his gloves, but it would'nt prove it did'nt happen the first fight, it was obvious he had them in the last fight. That's my opinion on the matter.
I am a Cotto fan but I wouldnt be 100 percent sure if Cotto could beat Margo.I see it as a 50/50 fight, I give Cotto a slight edge because he is a better boxer but I think that slight advantage gets erased by the brutal beating that he took in their first fight and it brings it back to 50/50. I would love to see Cotto/Margo 2 simply because it would be a good fight but even that we dont know if he cheated against Cotto I know for sure he attempted to cheat against Mosley and for that I think he should be banned for life. I would love to see Cotto / Martinez
ok but how about the whole plaster thing
dont tell me that if he were to beat cotto again you would still be suspect of teh wraps?
Oh no doubt about it i would not be suspect anymore however I dont see it doing other than clearing his name though...
reaching for the stars on this one kid...cotto would smoke him in a rematch and even if he beat cotto it wouldnt erase the montrous beatdown mosley put on him..

Im not a margs fan but i thought it would be interesting to talk about it
i like jacks post

it gets him another title
makes Cotto stans STFU about plaster
makes him bankable again
another W for Mexico in boxing rivalry vs PR
earns him back respect (possibly) from ex fans of his
