Cotto wants margarito fight

Caguas - It remains a 'small' detail to formalize the fight, but Miguel Cotto today reiterated its readiness to meet in rematch Mexico's Antonio Margarito, contrary to the terms he did two years ago. Not ruling out the option of facing the towering Argentine champion, Sergio Martinez, subject to the achievement agreements "weights" between both parties. "What names are to fight, as I have been fighting since 2004? Big fights, fights that the public likes and want to see, "Cotto said in an interview with El Nuevo Dia in school facilities in Caguas Mech Tech. "There is not much on the table and I understand that a fight with Margarito would be lucrative, it would be what we expect to get and give us the opportunity to avenge the defeat, " he added. His speech, however, was very different in early 2009. On that occasion, when he discovered the bandage Margarito illegal minutes before being knocked out by Shane Mosley, the Caguas native monarch ruled that "never again face the Aztec fighter who had to serve one-year suspension because of the incident. "You have to adjust to what life brings you. We must make the necessary adjustments to be right with what you get, "he said Cotto now also ready to face Martinez, the current sovereign middleweight (160 pounds) of the Council (WBC). That option, however, should be subject to negotiation of weight, and 'weight' (dollars). Cotto is a champion of the 154 pounds and said he "would not do (160 pounds). I do not get there ... could require that he (Martinez) down a little, "said Cotto. "At this time the weights are manageable. These are things that are included in contracts and to reach a determination, "he said. sorry... had to use google translation (sucks) Im not so sure about this, but if he takes the fight I will be rooting for him

If Cotto beats Marg than I wanna see Cotto vs Clottey 2 in Vegas. I also think Drizurizk would give Cotto all he can handle at 154.

glad to hear he isn't gonna duck the marg fight... I think he's asking for too much in fighting martinez, but I think martinez deserves a payday

glad Cotto has heart Tony will take it from him though

cotto is a cool dude...just that the fight with mayorga was kinda a turn off. hope the margarito fight get made. Seriously, what do people expect of Cotto? His first fight at 154 was a very easy one against a guy with no power, this time they tried an easier guy to not get hit by, however, he still had very fast hands especially for a big guy and he's strong as an ox. The guy just got done fighting Margarito, Clottey and Manny... in a row. That isn't even counting the Mosley and Judah fight which were a year before those three, this guy has gone through the gauntlet, he cherry picks the least of any opponent and he gets crap for taking a pretty risky fight given his size in the division.

Without plaster, Margarito won't beat Cotto. The past 3 fights of Margarito (post-plastergate) speaks volumes.

bring on martinez and cheato, war cotto! :boxing:

I also hope he sniffs some cocaine after this loss too........along with his gay son.

I hope his wife cries again. :bottle:5 year old comment... school bus left a while ago buddy... your mom might get mad.

I hope his wife cries again.

It will prove alot for sure, if Cotto gets beat down the same way, then margarito didnt use plaster, but if margarito gets a beatdown it will be obvious about plaster being used before on other fights.If the fight is a close decision, it would still say a lot of things.

I want to the rematch, this will prove a lot of things. It will prove alot for sure, if Cotto gets beat down the same way, then margarito didnt use plaster, but if margarito gets a beatdown it will be obvious about plaster being used before on other fights.

Margarito about to become a 2 division champ. How his haters would love that lol. And if Arum matches him with Chavez Jr or Martinez he could become a 3 weight champ. Crazy, for a guy who was seen as finished not that long ago Thats some good sh1t you are smokin, I guess that being caught with plaster & taking caffeine pills is the way Champions roll:stooges:

IF cotto agrees, you gotta give him props, for getting in the ring, with a guy who made him fold. That wasnt just a loss for cotto, it was his first loss and a mental beatdown to boot. i give margarito the edge in this fight, stylewise with his chin and workrate, i see it somewhat identical, to the first fight.

i see cotto fighting chavez jr instead of martinez I doubt chavez jr. makes 154 anymore.

not all of us are cholos There are lots here, and believe Im not down with PR vs Mex post wars, its good for boxing... not here.

Better believe it buddy... money talks & he knows theres alot of money in this fight. i see cotto fighting chavez jr instead of martinez
