Cotto is done he fought Mayorga for 12 rounds. Cotto will always have a hard time beating a volume puncher. To me he didnt like great Mike saw what everybody saw 2 fighters past there best but if you are a nuthugger you see nothing but a good fighter who can beat the best and that is bull crap
Come on people Cotto is not close to the fighter he once was! What happened to the game plan that Steward had to beat Mayorga, IMO Cotto took way too much punishment from a 38 year old fighter who is also way past his prime and who fought in spurts! Do people really think Cotto is a legit 154 fighter, margarito throws way more punches than Mayorga and has a way beter chin than Mayorga. It will be so damn ugly for Cotto in june, it is not even funny. If I was a real Cotto fan I would really be concerned for his safety when he fights Margarito. Steward did not improve Cotto because Cotto is a damaged fighter who cannot be improved anymore!! You have PR's and some people on here kidding themselves on here talkin about the great performance of Cotto last night!! Come on people Mayorga is 38 years old and washed up and gave Cotto way too much punishment. Arum will serve Cotto on a silver plate to MArgarito in JUne and MArgarito will eat him alive!!!!!!!!!Shame on Arum for doing it but we Mexicans will pay to see that massacre!!!!!!!
If Cotto was Mexican these haters would over run these boards with "Mexican Warrior" and "Mexican Heart" threads. GTFoH.
Cotto showed great discipline not getting into a brawl. His jab was a thing of beauty all night. Personally I think It's Cotto's style to beat on a trash talker for 12 methodical rounds rather than KO him in 4.
Give Mayorga props....he was determined and in shape. Yet Cotto was not having any of it. Never was baited at all.
That said Cotto did look slower and weaker than usual but his defense was better and he put in a boxing clinic for 12 rounds...classic boxer-puncher. These aren't Jr Welters anymore and it isn't 2001, Cotto cannot look like he used to against smaller guys, it's simple really.
Cotto can definitely outbox Margs and he will win on the cards because he simply too technical for Margs and I believe Steward will have him attack the body early and often but although Cotto will win on points Inthink Margs toughs him up and makes Cotto look like the loser in terms of damage inflicted. Margs is also washed up but that MoFo is relentless and punches for 12 full rounds.
no, no he wasnt. he was a big punching ww. at middleweight his punching power, esp when he fought mayorga, was less than impressive.
Tito with a pulse was a big puncher at any weight. Most definitely Including 160.

yeah, Trinidad was a real softy at 160..pfff.
It's not like Cotto is big enough to even dent Hopkins and Wright.
That's all I am saying. To see Margarito salivating to fight somebody he beat * (asterisk) is sad when he wants no part of Shane. No sense of revenge, nothing.
It screams of a closet-punk. The classic bully who seeks glory only in what he thinks is safe.
the mentality is one side to it. but lets not forget that arum already set up pac vs mosley and hes setting up cotto vs marg. so whats the need for marg to mention mosley when arum clearly told him the plan ? winner of that fight fights martinez later this year.
hmm, well for starters mayorga came to fight and was in shape.
second, I seem to recall shane mosley struggled in a terrible fight until he finally knocked him out with about 10 seconds left in the final round.
third, is cotto really a 154 pound fighter? I mean, ideally I think his best weight is 147. Lets not kid ourselves and pretend he's a true junior middleweight.
Actually I think that Cotto is better at 154. He is more comfortable about not having to make weight. I think 154 might be good. We will see though.

Get it thru your head already everybody wants MARG VS COTTO 2.BOTH UNDER TOP RANK END OF STORY.Yeah im sure Margs is scared of MOSLEY after that WARRIOR performance he put up against THE LATIN SNAKE who is MARGARITOS SPARING *****.

Why would you use logic with these idiots?
I am lookin forward to that fight more than ANY fight. I just wanted to expose the double-standard.
A tip for you: Get a real hero for your avi son. This is major league boxing now. All that B level sht, is gonna get you laughed at around here son.:wtf1:
Please TIMMY has more balls than any of your fav fighters..TRUE STORY.
For realz though. I would love to see Cotto go up against Pac again even though he was utterly outclassed. Not because I think Cotto would beat him this time around, but because that is what a true warrior is about. Cotto WILL fight Margy and he would fight Pac... if given the opportunity. Margy will only fight Cotto, and hasn't even mentioned Shane...Hmmm I don't know about you, but you don't need to be Einstein to figure this sh!t out.
i understand the double standard. but i just dont see the need to point out the obvious. he got embarassed vs shane and shane has his number. but your def right about cotto and that exciting warrior il fight anybody mentality he has.
I agree, he couldnt get Mayo outta there, Mayo may have hurt his hand. Cotto was actually hurt by Mayo as well and was out on his feet once. Margo Beats him again, Pac destroys him again, and if mayweather ever fought cotto, UD for Mayweather. Damn, I used to respect cotto's skills as a fighter, but they are diminishing.
Mayorga was the best I have ever seen him since Forrest. Dude was motivated by the Pacquiao money. They even said he was more dedicated in his training then ever before and gave up smoking and drinking for this fight. He was boxing better then I have ever remember him box too. Cotto still got it man.

idk who to put up, i put him up before the alexander fight cuz i made a couple bets on him but all he used was his head !
be smarter then this. there not calling it for the obvious reasons.. why call for a fight in which your countryman got ktfo ? either way a hydrated margarito would do much better vs present no stamina shane. but stylisticly the match favors shane. and did you not read my post? shane is fighting pac in may !! arum is setting up cotto vs margarito for june- july !!!

Cant even take out 38 year old Mayorga!! Margarito will destroy him!!!!!!!
Plaster Margacheato is an embarrassment for boxing and should not be fighting again
because that fight would answer if marg had plaster in there first fight or not. and if he beats cotto he clears his name.. man use your brain.. mosley beat margarito decisively wipe out ! why would anyone want to see that agian ?? and im not even mexican or black. and not only that but for the 3rd fkn time pac vs mosley is in may and arum is setting up margarito cotto for june-july so regardless marg cotto is happening !
