Saturday night proved to me that Margarito still has, power, a cast iron chin, and great stamina coupled with the ability to cut off the ring. Make it happen.
I want this fight to happen to cap off 2011
I think Cotto should fight some no-hoper in early 2011, then someone like Berto in July, then Margarito in November
We have to let Margarito build up, because if Cotto fought him next, it would be bad form because of the damage Margs took. I'd like to see Margarito fight some no hoper when he heals, then someone like Mosley, Cintron, S.Mora and then Cotto
Hell yea, so many storylines. And Margarito had the kind of performance....not that he didn't get killed, but it wasn't bad enough to where a fight with Cotto is no longer marketable.
Cotto and Margarito will forever be tied to each other. I have no doubt that if they ever stepped in the ring again it would be the last fight for both of them.
Rematch has to happen. That would be one hell of a 24/7. One of the only fights in the sport where the two opponents are coming off two lopsided fights to the same guy and the fight is STILL marketable as hell.
Margarito proved one thing overall on Saturday to me...he can take a hell of an ass whipping.
I'd love for these two to finally fight again. I'd like to think Margarito would fight Cotto the exact same way. Though Cotto IMO is the fresher of the two, I think Margarito's style can still cause some problems for Cotto. With that being said, I'm also not sure where Margarito physically will be after this fight or how his punch resistance will be in comparison to his prior fights where he received punishment.
A Cotto win would definitely take the hump off Cotto's back, and a Margarito win ironically would somewhat clear suspicion on whether or not he was cheating against Cotto. They got a lot to build with that rematch.

Poor choice of words..:nonono:
Pacquiao might've taken whatever Margarito had left and then some after last Saturday..
I'm all for it tho..LET'S DO THIS!!!!!!
I think Tony needs a longer break after the beating Pac gave him. If this fight were to happen in the spring, Cotto would re-fracture his orbital bone.

Saturday night proved that he still HAD those attributes, who knows now.
Hopefully he does and a Cotto fight comes off, ive still got Cotto 100%.
marg still has the right style to beat cotto. but I think if cotto fights smarter, he'll make it 12 rounds this time without quitting or getting on his knees.
Well. He wont get rounds in the late rounds like last time, remember he was down on the cads coming into the 11th.
