He damaged Pacquiao much more with flush shots and actually won some rounds.
In a rematch I think Cotto beats Margarito with the right game plan.
Who will Mayweather fight in the welterweight division now?
Cotto ran and quit.
Margarito stood and fought.
Margarito > Cotto
Easily.
Margarito chin helped him stand and get hit.
Cottos skill made him competitive until his stamina problems got to him and until his weak chin got tagged.
Cotto>> Margarito
Easily
Marg did much better than cotto because Pacman felt the pain of Marg body punches that Pacman even went to hospital to check his condition!!
What are you talking about? Cotto ruptured Manny's eardrum. What do you think, he took a pill to fix his F'd up inner ear?
Marg did much better than cotto because Pacman felt the pain of Marg body punches that Pacman even went to hospital to check his condition!
on the other hand, Clottey did much much better than Cotto, Marg and Oscar as far as, defense is concern, because Clottey NEVER suffered any cuts, bruised, lumps from his face!
On top of that Cotto won more rounds against Pacquiao than Margs. Margarito really had two rounds in my book. and im being real generous giving him more than one. Pacquiao didnt even seem as conditioned and trained in this fight and he still took it to margs worse than he did against clottey and cotto

Pacquiao was in the hospital after the Cotto fight, Margs and Clottey Pacquiao wasnt. As for your clottey argument Im only considering who damagaed pac the most cause in the end thats all that matters in a fight like this, and based on both fights I think Cotto did much more damage, Pacquiao only revealed he was hurt by margs because he was giving margarito the little credit he deserved after taking an ass beating and a half by Pac. Again most of what pac was saying seemed like sympathy and compassion for breaking his facial bones
Marg did much better than cotto because Pacman felt the pain of Marg body punches that Pacman even went to hospital to check his condition!
on the other hand, Clottey did much much better than Cotto, Marg and Oscar as far as, defense is concern, because Clottey NEVER suffered any cuts, bruised, lumps from his face!
Wow ppl in this thread are saying Margarito won some rounds and almost had Pac gone in the 6; what fight were they watching..
Marg was the bigger stronger heavier man and was beatdown and shutout..
Cotto messed up Pacs face alittle and busted his eardrum meanwhile Marg didnt even make a dent..Cotto was on a plane home the next day while Margarito was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance and needs facial reconstruction surgery..:no:
agreed. Its alot of chicano bias.

they both got fcked with the catchweights.Cottos fight was for the ww belt,so he cant come in at 150.Margaritos fight was for the jmw belt,but
cant come higher then 150.
I agree but Cotto at 145 is a big disadvantage and a plus for Pacquiao who only comes in at 145 peak weight for performance. Margarito came in almost 6lb heavier on the scale and was able to rehydrate een more. This is a clear disadvantage for Pacquiao

good point bro:boxing::boxing:
Survival mode or not, he made more of an impression on pacquiaos face and body than margarito did and margarito had 17lbs of extra weight. Cotto had to come in at 145lb on the scale which is a handicap while margs got an advantage

cotto went on surival mode.Margarito tried to win the fight till the last
round.

thats bs
he didnt do anything in the 11th or 12th. it was "how are you feeling?" and "cmon youve got to do something" from the 8th round on
deja vu from the cotto's corner in the pac fight anyone?
You know mannys in trouble when roach gets pissed. Roach seemed pretty confident each round. But in the cotto fight they were frantic that Cotto got the better of Pacquiao in some exchanges
cotto went on surival mode.Margarito tried to win the fight till the last
round.
But we rarely saw what Margarito normally does to opponents. Cottos style still made it possible for Pacquiao to be hit when trading. I think the only thing that saved Margs was that he got to come in at 150lbs while Cotto had to drain to 145. 145 is mannys peak anbd best weight. he had no disadvantage with Cotto. but with margs he had to result in fighting almost a light heavy weight

i see some one didnt watch the fight..its common knowlege that he had manny badly hurt in the 6th..hell even manny admitted this..
cmon now larry, I still got em dvred from 2009 big homie. I watched but I what makes me differ is I dont listen to the BS commentary. That Commentary is what sways your thoughts. watch em again son I gaurantee you will agree Cotto did better, Pacquiao was actually in trouble much more than you expect but his composure is the best.
I dont even think Manny trained as hard as he did for the margs fight. in the cotto fight he looks intimidating. this fight he looked conditioned but not as strong of a puncher
I just rewatched both. Pacquiao took way more flush shots and was backed up way more. He rarely caught any flush shots from Margs. He more or less was tired from beating that ass so much
I agree Cotto landed more quality punches. But Cotto was deterred fairly easily, and Margarito actually really hurt Pacquiao where Cotto never did.
It's close in terms of who did better. But let's face it, they both got their asses kicked.
Cotto didnt quit he got stopped, which I think was couldve been disputed.
Margarito rarely caught any flush shots and shouldve been stopped earlier.
If you look at Ledermans card he also had Cotto winning much more than pacquiao.
I mean it was clearly evident of you look at Pacquiao after Margarito and after Cotto. Much more damage was done to pacquiao than Margs. Cotto didnt run he was just boxing. He was still throwing punches, someone like Mayweather who rarely puts out a strong punch count can be considered a runner
cotto went on surival mode.Margarito tried to win the fight till the last

Cmon now he never had a chance at putting manny down . Cotto did before he got knocked down himself. after both the 3rd and fourth of the cotto fight manny looked hurt coming to the corner
No he didn't are you kidding me?
