Anyone who wasnt interested before is sure as hell interested now after the 24/7 buildup.. I just cant see how anyone would not want to watch this fight.. Both always go into every fight ready to bang it out.. both are true warriors and both deserve respect.. regardless of knee taking and plaster wrapping.. fuck anyone else who thinks otherwise...
im not sure you can say cotto is a true warrior to be honest. at least recently anyway. a true warrior is willing to fight anybody anywhere. cotto was kicking up a fuss about how he was only willing to fight in new york and its a fcukin catchweight for his title what he demanded. so that takes a bit of the shine off of cotto being a true warrior imo.
Right. I was kinda looking at their current standing (especially Tony) and I just wasn't too interested. But after all of the stuff with the hearing and the trash talk, I'm actually ready for this fight on Saturday night. I think Miguel will pull it off for sure, I have him stopping Tony.
Thanks for the post and um......GO NOLES!
I was gonna give you a green k till you said that bull**** at the end... Fuck a Noles.. lol

Well, it's pretty typical that when two guys shave shown their best to be past them, people don't want to see them fight when they know that their next one will not be anything as close to their initial battle. The passion has gone, the fire has gone, the deter,inaction and need for battle and to win has gone.
People will always watch a fight with 'names' in it, but it's like seeing Duran/Leonard III. A ridiculous, pale comparison to the fight they had in their primes. I think Margarito is much more shot than Cotto, but Cotto just isn't great to begin with (he's good, just not great) so who knows....
But yes, I'm not that interested. It might be good, but it's difficult to tell. There are many better fights on.
So Gatti/Ward III wasn't as good as Gatti/Ward I? Please, for every bad triology/rematch there are just as many solid ones. I'm not saying this time will be as good as the first, it actually can't be if Cotto wants to win but the sheer emotion involved in this fight will make for great atmosphere.
You sir are an idiot. Name me the last guy to throw 100 punches in a round against Mayweather. I'll wait.
Floyds never been in the ring with anyone who would throw that many. Which is exactly the reason he avoided Marg to fight Baldomir.
Honestly, the most electrifying build up, and most satisfying main event i've seen in recent years was Marg/Cotto I, so no i don't agree with you.
They might not the beast they were when they first fought, but i still feel that Marg & Cotto make for a some intense action and a good fight based on style alone.
I feel you. I know it's almost meaningless at this point, both fighters are on the decline, but i wouldn't really be interested in seeing either fight anyone other then each other.
Just my opinion.
No, but it perfectly understandable coming from an fangirl who is more Mayweather cheerleader than boxing fan.
:lol1:
Translation: I'm still mad at what Tony did to Cotto in 2008.
oh the irony.
Tell me about it.

Good post Benny.
This is just plain stupid. If Cotto couldn't hurt Marg there is no way Floyd would have. Floyd is excellent but the guy isn't going to avoid 100 punches each round as Margarito would have thrown. He may have landed 60 or 70% of his punches, Floyd would I mean, but Marg would just be an unstoppable freight train. Mayweather has a terrible poker face, he tells everyone who would have given him problems by simply not fighting them, its that simple.
As for the fight, TS must only like to watch boring ass fights. You're more excited for Ward/Froch and Mayweather/Ortiz, I guess you have insomnia and looking for a cure? Ward is going to stink the joint out by just holding and landing a massive amount of headbutts. Mayweather/Ortiz is simply going to be a one sided snoozefest with Floyd claiming he is the best in the world because he beat a guy whose only had one twelve round fight in his career. I don't get why people have to find a fight exciting or must see because its to prove who is the best P4P. The Gatti/Ward fights, Castillo/Corrales fights were nothing of the sort yet those are far more memorable than Floyd vs anyone and Manny vs Margarito/JMM. Its the biggest genuine grudge match of my lifetime and the first fight was a brutal slugfest.

You have no idea do you?
I don't know what it is, but I'm just not even remotely interested in seeing those two guys fight again. Anyone share these sentiments?

Completely agree, which is why I laugh every time I see some clown say that Margs would've given Mayweather trouble. Mayweather literally would've pitched a shutout.
