Since when is being an elite boxing trainer a requirement to condition a fighter? Cotto's new trainer is the most qualified of all boxing trainers in terms of conditioning and boxing knowledge combined, the guy has studied for it and has written books and stuff about it.
He's not improvising stuff, he has his science backing him up and the guy knows his ****. He has a PHD in sports science just in case you didn't know.
Cotto faced the #2 P4p boxer in the world(Pacquiao) with Joe FCKN Santiago as his head trainer, yeah he basically trained himself and climbed that ring by himself because Joe Santiago really knows **** about boxing. Diaz will be of great help to Miguel, even more than Steward would have.
Honestly a PhD in sports science isnt going to help Cotto in the ring its a piece of paper and at what school did he get this from?
you can have all the book knowledge in the world but your not the one fighting
Margarito if anything has the mental advantage of having the win in fight 1 he also has a trainer that is a former world champion who comes from a family with a long history in the sport of boxing in Oxnard.
and like it or not the reality is So Cal is not a place for ******* in the sport of boxing its rough down here...
Cottos new trainer is un proven so I wouldnt ride his dick to be honest, this guy has never worked a corner in a fight on this level...

I agree, boxing history has shown even the most granite chinned fighters lose a ton late in their careers after absorbing so much punishment. That plus I think Cotto's new trainer has his stamina at a level we've never seen before and Cotto wants to really hurt the scumbag leads me to believe Margarito is getting KO'd around the 8th rnd.

Cotto has more power at that weight... plus whencheato fought Robert Garcia he was running all over... cheatos team knew he can get KOd from a 154 pounder.
Was that why he knocked down Garcia in round 1?
Eaner said that Margarito's team told him to box for all 12 after the KD, since they think he needed more rounds after that long lay off.
Star making them excuses now all in the cheato bandwagon... I smell great victory for Cotto & alot of cheap excuses from cheato fans.
Damn, you really are pushing the issue. You will probably disappear if Cotto looses again. Only stans, blind fanatics and ..mos/...tards can be so delusional. I will always support PR fighters, they rep the flag and island with pride and honor. But predicting Cotto will KO Tony when he couldnt drop him in the first fight is kind of dumb. You want the heir of PRBOXINGCHAMP and apparently you earned it already.
You are wrong, simply because your not Mexican nor Rican, so your not the one who is paying attention to whats going on most of the Ricans have well let me put it to you like this, I dont feel proud of my people as a result of the **** that has been said this last week
I think you're letting the actions of one man (LaMigra) cloud your thoughts. There's definitely some Ricans here who do talk smack and bring it down to a low level involving racial slurs, but trust me man, I see a LOT of Mexicans doing the same damn thing. It goes both ways.
And I understand how you feel about not liking fighters from your own country. I'm half Indonesian and lived there for 8 years but I EFFING HATE CHRIS JOHN. FUKK YOU CHRIS JOHN YOU FRAUD. *ahem* sorry, as I was saying. I understand the mentality but I think you're just trying too hard, man. It seems like you hate your own ethnicity.
Before you make a rebuttal saying "I just like Tony cuz he's a badass I don't need to be Mexican to like him", consider the fact that your sig has Tony beating two PR fighters in brutal fashion.
Just sayin.
You're Rican? I think my mind may have just been blown. :bigeyes:
I'm not taking sides here since I'm neither Rican or Mexican (or Latino for that matter), but that stuff goes both ways. In fact, as a neutral observer, I'd say the racial slurs comes from the Mexicans more.

Sounding exactly like your predecessors before Margarito VS. Jotto 1. Welcome rookie:lol1:
KO'd?
That's a big bold prediction. Maybe TKO'd..................
I can see the ref stopping the fight if he suffers some eye injury or he's just getting hit way too much but I don't know if Cotto can KO him. He took Cotto's shots really, really well the first time.
Yeah, tko is much, much more likely of the two. I have read somewhere that they are using 10 ounce gloves and, of course, wraps should not be an issue this time. I think it will go to decision. I hope Cotto stops him, but I think it goes to a decision.
Cotto has been thinking about sweet revenge since the first bout. He has his mind made up that Margs cheated against him the first go around and now, he is going to beat Margs like he is beating a punching bag. I predict that he lands a ton of lefts to the face and body...he will really mess Margs' eye up, I think the ref will stop the fight in rd 11 due to the damage Tony will incur.
I love Cotto dont get me twisted but the fans lately have been quite disturbing to me the racial slurs they have been casting towards Mexicans... it is bothersome my wife is Mexican... my kids are Mexi-Ricans and to hear them talk about Mexicans like its ****ing low...
I understand trash talk between fans going in to a big fight but taking it to a level of Racism? that bothers me

and what happens if all you saying is wrong...?
He is wrong Roberto Garcia is a tuff kid who trains at wildcard with Eric Brown, IMO Roberto Garcia beats Yury Foreman the Tomato can that Cotto won his belt from
Buaaahahahahhaha, "cottosexuals!" LMAOL!!! This got me rolling and I'm a Cotto supporter! Good one brother!

toni cheato is going to get knocked the fukk out by cotto
no doubt-
cotto is the second best fighter after manny at 147
certainly better than overratted bums who fight bums
The fights not at 147.
You dont even know what the **** your talking about, Robert Garcia stated before the fight even, Margarito just came back from a long lay off "We need rounds here" He wanted Tony to get in rounds and work on getting his timing back...
Early in that fight Tony went out and blasted that kid dropping him basically showing you that he could end the fight when ever he wanted.. But followed Roberts instructions to get in work again its a boxing thing I dont expect many of you Cottosexuals to know this
Buaaahahahahhaha, "cottosexuals!" LMAOL!!! This got me rolling and I'm a Cotto supporter! Good one brother!
Tomato can Garcia... what a challenge huh:slap:
Now wait a minute, be fair...García hadn't lost 14 fights in a row throughout six years when he took on Margarito. He's also never been stopped. Just something to think about.
BTW, I saw that fight...Margarito was clowning on the guy. García was game and gave an effort but Margarito was ducking, bobbing and moving like Ali in that fight. :rofl:
Olé!
BTW, I'm Puerto Rican and I'm supporting Cotto. WAR COTTO!
Just saying to consider the points I made on Robert García.
Barrera lost to Jr Jones twice, sometime styles aren't good for a fighter. I agree that Cotto is the better boxer but I think Marg's style is not a good one for him.
Cotto is the bully, he doesn't like to BE bullied.
Precisely. His best work is when he's coming forward terrorizing fighters. When he has to fight on the backfoot, he STILL does well, but not as well as he would coming forward, AND he isn't one to box a full 12 rounds.
Nope... Losing to a scumbag like cheato is pretty low in my book. Aint thinking about that tho, pretty sure Cotto will win impresively on Dec.3
He already lost to Margarito... So why dont you just call on him to retire?
Ohhh Wait I get it.... You believe Margarito had loaded wraps right?
Lets examine this idea for a moment.... Do you really believe that? or do you want to believe that? That is the question.... and the reason why I say that is the question is because in this sport there are two big No No's in the sport of boxing....
#1 Quitting..
#2 Cheating..
And now since Margarito has had to deal with this handwrap scandal it gives Cotto fans a free pass at quitting, almost justify's it if you use the cheating theory if you say Cotto quit freely cus Margarito was too much for him there is No un-doing that, but if you say Margarito cheated in the fight, it gives you a valid excuse to dis regard what happened in the first fight all together.
The man did not cheat in fight 1, Miguel even knows this
