The man looked confident,was mean,boxed beautifully,moved better than he has in years..learned how to turn his opponent and clinch,he clinched,used his leverage and strength to control a huge Margarito,my god he looked great,the man looked down right great,i can't lie his combos were like a work of art.Cotto got that confidence back he has been lacking since the 1st Margo fight.the man stared Satan in the eyes and i think he will be better for it.
funny how from after the fight in 08 to b4 the fight saturday many posters were saying margs wins 10 out of 10 times they meet...margs will make cotto take a knee earlier in the rematch...now marg is shot to $hit wtf..."which 1 is it" ( in my floyd voice)
Margarito will do that to you. He looked just as good against Mayorga to me. I'm still not sold really, but Saturday's win was important for him and his career, and I enjoyed the hell out of it.

Cmon dawg a 38 year old mosley looked like a beast against margarito and that was before the injury.
Larry u talked **** right after the fight... Said all he did was run... Youre inconsistent as ****
He did, huh? I don't keep up with his posts so i didn't notice. I take back my compliment.
:spank: :lol1:
Well he is right though. Cotto would be brought down to earth if he fought an actual top fighter. You do realize Margarito hasn't been in the top 10 in any weight class in years, right? And he was not a top 10 147-154 fighter for either the Pacquiao fight or the Cotto fight. So I don't know why you or any one are celebrating this win or saying Cotto is back.
I think Cotto can beat top fighters in his division, just not top fighters in boxing like Pac, Mayweather and Martinez.
I would definitely say, had a prime Cotto made these kind of adjustments...game plan-wise, he would have had a much better chance beating Margarito the first time. He looked better here than in both the Mayorga and Foreman fights. Still, circumstances need to be considered though...
Yeah cotto looked great on Saturday. Its also crazy to say he's shot to ****...cotto definitely still has alot left in him and his performance against Marg proves that.
Yeah he definitely does have a lot left. He proved it against two fighters that were not ranked in the top 10 at 154, back to back. Cotto is back ladies and gentlemen.
damn i cant stand pactards

Now he just needs a rematch with Pacquiao to take his confidence away again.
damn i cant stand pactards
I can't either but that **** made me laugh. :rofl:
Thats about as good as he looked since after the pac fight. But im not sure what we can credit that to. Either the trainer switch or the fact that margarito was shot to **** and had the eye to worry about. That being said i do believe cotto has improved since previous bouts and will continue to be a top dog at 154.
Ldogg just yesterday i thought i saw a post from u about how cotto was starting to back paddle towards the mid round until the round marg was stopped?? now you're saying he showed good movements? is this one of your bait thread again??
no yesterday i said tony was a fukking beast who never stops coming forward,BUT Cotto beat his ass,Cotto kicked the living sh1t out of Margo..BUT damn tony kept coming..that was 1 hell of a fight

100% agree. He faced his demon and beat the **** out of him. I mean you could tell Marg was getting to him before the fight, Cotto looked intimidated and then after the fight he walked over and stared at the guy for about a minute, didnt take his eyes off him, he was letting him know that he was over the beating of the first fight and he enjoyed every second of his revenge.
