We we keep hearing how Margarito has the mental edge but....

all we keep hearing? we ****ing SAW IT. cotto was whooping marg's ass and marg didn't quit. marg kept coming and cotto couldn't handle it. and you want to talk about recent losses to pacquiao? halfway through the pacquiao fight , cotto didn't want none anymore. all cotto wanted was to survive. marg no matter how badly pacquiao beat him up , kept on coming until in the end he couldn't anymore. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the differences in conditions for these fights Tua... 145 lbs vs 150 lbs pre-fight weight, one is a big 5'11" iron chinned mofo and the other is a former pudge 5'7".... It's only natural the bigger, badder Margarito could handle more punishment. Is a Yaris as safe as an E Class?

I tend to think the guy who administered the a$$ whuppin has the mental edge over the guy who got his a$$ whipped. I mean if it wasn't for getting caught cheating before the mosley fight a lot of people would be pickin Marg.

One thing I'm NOT worried about is Margaritos mental state. From talking to guys in the gym that have trained on the west coast and been in the gym with Marg, they all tell me the same thing, he's a fukin ANIMAL. I have heard sparring partners say the dude is fearless. You hit him more than he hits you and you still lose the fight...lol Marg don't give a fuk and he is going to come forward and try to kill Cotto, literally. This is only speculation but it seems to me that Cotto is much more fragile mentally than Marg. Cotto is very serious all the time and when he does joke it seems forced for the cameras. Marg just seems like the type of guy that you want by your side in a bar fight, because win or lose he's not going anywhere and he's going to go all out. With all the talk of the scandal, the rematch talk, the pro PR crowd in Madison Square Garden, all the sh1t that is going to lead up to the fight, Marg is going to be more motivated and ready than he's ever been in his career. He understands that this is it, this is his only shot in his boxing career. It's do or die time. Cotto better be in the same mind frame, because if he isn't it could be a long and brutal night.

Not at all. Margarito had lost before the Mosley fight, he knows how to deal with it. You know Margarito believes that he is the better fighter and he is Cotto's kryponite. Cotto is the one with the questions.

Cotto is the better boxer, but like in the last fight we will see that Marg's resilience plays a huge factor.

Cotto is shot. Prime Cotto versus plasterless Margarito = Cotto win. Now... I'm not sure. Margarito is a bit shot too, it seems.

I don't care what anyone says, Margarito DOES have a mental edge over Cotto going into this fight IMHO, Physically they are both at the same page but mentally I have Margarito ahead but that doesn't mean Cotto doesn't stand a chance, We would see how Cotto reacts when he sees Rito across the ring. the underlined part is funny but true, lol, nyahahga

I got Mararito....he took 2 beatings but I don't think it will have an effect on him. He will own cotto again, he knows he doest like pressure and he will just take his shots like he eats everyone's punches and walk cotto down until he takes another knee. Cotto thinks and likes to portray himself as a genuine hardman but he has quit in him. Margarito is just a bad ass dude that doesn't need to try and fix that image in our heads...he knows he's got bad intentions!!

I think Garcia makes the difference in this fight. Sure, Cotto has Steward, but he was already a good fighter. Did he teach him that many new things? You know Tony learned some new stuff. Before Garcia, his fights were just - Move forward, punch a million times. I like Tony. If he wins, I hope he does what he did to Cintron after he quit.

I'm picking Margarito because I believe he will benefit from the fight being at 154 more than Cotto, as well as Marg having found a great trainer in Garcia. Im sure Mannys done some great work with Cotto, but I kind of see that as more of just a paycheck for Manny. He trains a lot of guys in different places, meanwhile Garcia is in the same Gym with pretty much the same guys everyday and obviously has more interest in his fighters than Manny (outside of Wlad). I think Robert is going to have Margarito in beast mode come fight night with a brilliant game plan to back up the aggression. I don't think Cotto will be able to handle it.

Marg will be in great shape and have a chip on his shoulder cuz of the accusations.. Cotto is shook of this fight... I'm thinking cotto is secretly intimidated by marg.

Cotto does a lot more things than Margarito and he does them much better. However, Margarito is not going to be lacking confidence in this fight or he simply wouldn't be the same fighter. That being said, I'm sure he'll still feel he can win but I think it'll be based more on the fact that Cotto will quit again and/or is scared of him. If he did use wraps in the first fight (he would know) that is no doubt going to affect his psyche. What if he gets stomped on for the first 6 rounds again, but this time he can't catch up to Cotto or Cotto isn't slowing down? What if the eye gets really nasty again? You don't take the beatings Marg did without some psychological affect, it may not be prior to the fight but they'll come out during it. It isn't like Margarito wanted to be in that ring, watch the corner before the 12th round. They left the mouthpiece in and were asking him for 40 seconds and he didn't reply, he wanted to quit on that stool Mexican style, but his corner made him go out there. Just because you come forward and walk into punches, doesn't make your beating any less than if you were backing away from them like Cotto. Cotto by decision, 9-3.

Defend that scumbag all you want, but the fact to the matter is, we ALL saw that video and both morons were mocking Roach. Quit lying to yourself, fanboy.

well i like to think margs & cotto are on the same boat, condition wise. both are past their best years, so it's just a matter of who has more left in them. i can see margs breaking down cotto again, but i like to think cotto has a bit more left in him and really wants to avenge his loss. can't wait for all their pressers and stuff though

Honestly Lin Chan its a 50-50 fight imo. The first fight was very close and there is a very real chance that Margarito had an unfair advantage. so If Cotto wins you have your excuse ready ? lol at you talking like Margs is in some different league than Cotto. i don't really care who wins. if cotto wins , he wins. i don't know if marg is in a different league. all i know is the last time they fought , cotto got his ass kicked. bad.

Left Tua hasn't changed, he is still a cotto hater. He is going on my ignore-list because he gives me a headache. Thats why he is a fan of a fat **** like Tua who got knocked down by a totally shot Barrett. i don't hate cotto. he's an entertaining fighter. i hate cotto fans.

So now im a Cotto fan faggit? I was just asking a question that hasnt been brought to the forum yet. maybe the question is stupid that's why people never brought it up. what's next? you're gonna question khan's stamina in the judah fight?

i find it so ****ing hilarious that cotto stans think it's gonna be marg that'll question himself. he won the 1st fight , pendejas. you know who will be most likely to question himself? the maricon borikua who quit like a puta. nice that i can practice my spanish in this thread. i'm done. enjoy the grasping at straws. i suggest talking about tactical adjustments cotto can make in the rematch. don't hope for the tougher guy with more heart to do what cotto did in the 1st fight. So now im a Cotto stan faggit? I was just asking a question that hasnt been brought to the forum yet.

maybe , maria. i think you're just grasping at straws frankly. i'm pretty sure you think cotto will get his ass kicked again. hopefully marg is completely shot. maybe then cotto has a chance. Honestly Lin Chan its a 50-50 fight imo. The first fight was very close and there is a very real chance that Margarito had an unfair advantage. so If Cotto wins you have your excuse ready ? lol at you talking like Margs is in some different league than Cotto.
