Cotto is beating Margarito on december 3rd.

Cotto is going to beat Margarito on december 3rd.He has rejuvenated himself,he's healthy he has the trainer,he's always had the tools.When the fight nears,I'll be accepting bets. If he wins I'd like to see him get another crack at Pacman.But 1st I want him to paddle up on Margarito.Who hasn't seemed the same after the shocking discovery of where his might came from was revealed. This should be the outcome... Shiit Marg'z is done. He's a building declared ready for demolition. As a Cotto fan it would b embarrassing should he lose to this version of Margarito

I'll be betting a lot on Cotto to beat Tony, if the fight gets made. Hit me up. No small bets, please. At least 250m, the higher the better.

this fight has Jones vs Hopkins II feel to it

Heart and will can win you fights, but once your body starts to go that's when you have to rely on your skill. Cotto and Marg haven't been the same since that fight, but Cotto has more left in the tank and he's also the better fighter. I'm going with Cotto by TKO in 10 as I don't think Marg's eye is going to hold up, jab and left hook are going to just demolish it, but IF it does hold up Cotto wins a wide decision 9-3 or 10-2.

You should both know by now styles and experience make fights. You completely writing Cotto off against Martinez is dumb, I agree that Cotto would be an underdog in this fight but he would also be one of the most skilled opponents that MArtinez would ever face.. But its not out of the realm of possibilities that Cotto beats him if they do they fight. My point exactly. I wouldn't count Cotto out, regardless of the odds. I'd like to see him take the challenge; assuming he gets past Marg...

That's my point though, why would you even want to see this fight? I don't, not the Martinez vs Cotto fight, it's a waste of our time and could be dangerous for Cotto's future. Marg would be more competitive because we don't know which version of Marg we might see. He's lost a lot as well and I don't want to see him fight much longer either.

;10687175']I know what you were talking about. Martinez vs. Cotto is the exact same thing as this fight. A man beating up a child. Except Martinez has enough power to end it with 1 shot. Which IMO is far more merciful. That's my point though, why would you even want to see this fight?

Margarito is further in decline than Cotto but Cotto may still have problems with him. He still doesn't clinch and he still can't fight backing up so I think even though Margarito is quite far in decline I still think he brings problems. It depends on how Margarito's power is and if he did use plaster in the first fight (Not saying he did) he is taking a huge risk rematching Cotto because if his power has little effect on him then there is alot to talk about and suggest. I didn't say it won't happen, the way Arum and Pacquiao are ripping people off it's probably in line after Marquez. But what about Cotto has changed that would make him do better against Pacquiao? He still can't handle pressure, still has no defense, still can't box well enough to stop Pacquiao, so if anything he gets beat worse. It's pointless, every bit as pointless as the last three fights Pacquiao has taken. A couple misconceptions here. Cotto can and has fought well when he needed to moving backwards but made a lot of mistakes when he did so. Mainly putting himself on the ropes. He boxed well moving backwards against a very good Mosley, fought well in spots against Margarito moving backwards even off of the ropes(dumb move though) and Ive seen him do the same throughout his career. How does he handle pressure, obviously thats not his strength but that can be dealt with and improved on. What could be different regarding Pac vs Cotto? One big difference Cotto would not be training himself thus a superior strategy and preparation would be had. His right hand seems to much better since the surgery and Steward has him using it more, you have to use your right hand to beat a Southpaw. Also Steward has him using his jab lots more and going after the body with a vengence. If it happens I think their fight would be at a 150lb catch weight, if it happened, which would be 5 lbs north of their first fight, thats a big factor. Considering Pac would come in at 150 ish fight night.

Margarito should not take this fight even though he has a chance at winning. Dude should retire for the sake of his health.

this is still an awful fight for cotto. his only chance at beating margs is to break that face early, otherwise its another L for cotto. if they're thinking of staying on the outside the entire fight then i think that works to margs favor; cotto doesn't have the stamina for a full 12 against the mauler. if he does beat him though, i still don't want that pac fight. i mean, i like cotto on a human level. I think you are giving Margarito to much credit at this point and not giving Steward enough. Rewind to the first fight, had Cotto simply clinched when he should have, stayed off the ropes when possible and not leaned over at the waist making him a sucker for one of Margaritos best punches the upper cut. I think he would have won that fight in a decisive manner. Fast Forward and you know that Steward will have him doing all of those things and its safe to say that Margs will be not be the same guy stepping into the ring that night also.

If Cotto beats Margarito,(which I believe he will)that's 1/2 half all his losses,Jangles & Chud.That's a huge selling point.Imagine this:Ohhh my gosh,Cotto has just avenged his 1st loss,can he do it again,can he defeat Pacman & put an exclamation point on an already brilliant career??!! Sounds like Lampley. I'd love this fight to be on HBO, but Showtime might throw in a (1) 360 episode, Super 6-ish. Styles make fights, but if the Margarito that showed up versus Pacquiao comes in, that constant pressure type, then this could be a very good fight. I think Cotto has had a lot of time to rejuvenate himself, so I'd be leaning towards him winning. The gameplan is out there already, just keep moving like you did in the first half of your fight and you can make it look like Pacquiao did the entire 12 rounds of the fight (Mosley tied up and unloaded, I don't see Cotto doing that). Either way, even with all the time since they last met, this is bound to be another memorable event...I hope :boxing:

There is no emotion speaking here,Cotto has actually made minor adjustments & seems less beat than Margarito atm.Margarito hasn't looked the same since running into a mountain of power called Mosley.I think Cotto is less shot & will beat him because of that. He hasn't looked good because he wasn't put against opposition who fit with his style. For example, Margarito looks good against guys like Clottey and Cotto because they don't know to respond to Margarito's pressure and end up getting hit countless times. Then there are guys like Daniel Santos who out boxed him for a few rounds and quite easily too. It's all about styles here. Margarito still has his chin, and his conditioning. That's really all he needs in this kind of fight.

Dude, read my post. I wasn't talking about Marg vs Cotto, I was referring to Cotto vs Martinez.... I know what you were talking about. Martinez vs. Cotto is the exact same thing as this fight. A man beating up a child. Except Martinez has enough power to end it with 1 shot. Which IMO is far more merciful.

;10687095']If this is the case, why are people so excited to see the rematch? Margarito will beat Cotto down again. He will abuse him, to the point where it'll be hard to watch. People are picking Cotto merely on there emotions. They wanna see justice. However that's not how it works in the boxing world. Margarito is the worst possible match up for Cotto especially now since he's shot like hell. This will be just as bad a beat down as the first one. Remember, Margarito used plaster in his hands, not his chin, and not only that but this fight is at 154, and weight that Cotto looks like he doesn't belong in at all. He doesn't know how to clinch, he doesn't know how to fight moving back. It will be a massacre. Much worse than the first one.

Why??? LOL Man some of you people live in fantasy land. Martinez vs Cotto wouldn't be fair, it would be like watching a child get beaten up by a grow man. I never want to see that happen because I don't want to see cotto get hurt. Margarito, Cotto and Chavez Jr should run the other way if they even hear the word "Martinez".

A loaded question. You can't be certain that he will get "beaten to death". In all likelyhood, we could agree that Martinez would come out on top. But the odds have never prevented Miguel Cotto from stepping in the ring against anyone. This isn't 2006, it's 2011. Cotto has ZERO chance against Martinez and would seriously get hurt if he fought him. There's a reason they are avoiding Martinez, Chavez Jr, Marg or Cotto should not fight him. No reason for it.

I feel like Cotto deserves a win, not for a 2nd fight with Pacquiao but to redeem that loss which might have come at a disadvantage. However, I don't think Cotto is going to beat Margarito this time either. Margarito still has tremendous will and chin. At 154 Margarito is strong even without the alleged plaster wraps, it'll be interesting if Margarito is indeed 100% ready.

That wasn't my point, WHY is the question I'm asking. Why do you want to see Cotto get beaten to death? Martinez vs Cotto isn't fair. Cotto was brutally beaten by Pac, a small man. Imagine what a lagit 160lb fighter with power and speed will do to him? Come on man, nobody wants to see that fight. There's no reason for it. A loaded question. You can't be certain that he will get "beaten to death". In all likelyhood, we could agree that Martinez would come out on top. But the odds have never prevented Miguel Cotto from stepping in the ring against anyone.
