I still think he is damaged goods, but he was fighting a guy that is damaged goods and he was less damaged in the areas that mattered the most; in the areas psychologically. To his credit, he was able to get rid of those ghosts the same way George Foreman found a way to exorcise the ghost of Zaire years later. Well, he found a way to exorcise the ghost of Margarito in that fight. Cotto found a way to get rid of those ghosts, and I give him all of the credit in the world. Boy oh boy, I give him a lot of credit...It's tough enough to go into a ring under normal circumstances to face what a man must face in that squared circle. It's very tough and difficult and impossible to some people, and that's why only certain people can do it," stated ESPN commentator and world-class trainer Teddy Atlas, who shared his thoughts on Miguel Cotto's victory over Margarito. Check out what he had to say about the performance of both fighters and much more! http://www.fighthype.com/?PHPSESSID=8dcbb3549661521313f589df23e727f7
That was a shit matchup that was 2-3 years overdue. Cotto did not want to get his revenge after Margarito beat him, even before Margarito was caught with his illegal with handwraps, Cotto was scared to death to fight him again. Then two real bad beatings later, Cotto grew some balls and wanted to fight him at MSG, in a fight where I wasn't that impressed with Cotto's performance considering where Margarito was in his career. Mosley and Pacquiao showed people how it should be done, Cotto showed people how to run.
And whoever thinks i'm just discrediting Cotto's win, I predicted all along that Cotto would win by stoppage because Margarito's face won't hold up, due to injuries. Called it a shit fight before and after.

It's only because Dominicans have ONLY Joan Guzman to boast of of all people.
I'd be envious too if I was a nationalistic fool with only that clown to show for it!!!!
they've got delvin rodriguez aswell. but the guy really doesn't like puerto rican fighters.
which is pretty sad, especially when his country doesn't have anything to offer at the moment
no wonder he looks up to a convicted woman beater :lol1:
he's said to me that he likes a particular sort of boxer, and by particular he like guys like floyd and hopkins. which is cool, but calderon is in a similar vein of boxer as those two, and don't remember him saying calderon is one of his favorites.
i let the dude be. occasionally i read his posts and laugh cause he's in every cotto thread throwing some wrench for no apparent reason when he's got no dog in the fight. :lol1:
Atlas Biased on Cotto
Ever since Cotto lost to Margs, Atlas, the so called "expert", has been calling him shot. He did surprise me when he said that he thought Cotto fought the perfect fight, during the commentary. He seems very reluctant to give Cotto props. Like some of the HBO commentators too, focused soley on Margs' pressure and not Cotto's skill. There were times Cotto would land some shots and all you hear is about Margarito, until it became too obvious that Margs aint have **** w/o his plaster. I don't fuk wit you Atlas, you a bird.

hahahahha you owned his ass people forget that cotto wanted a rematch right after his lost before margo was caught cheating
Cotto is shot, no question about it. My favorite fighter of the era, but he's shot.
Lol, cotto aint shot, he's got pleny left in the tank. With redefining his boxing skills, he can give anybody a run for their money.
that dud is dominican. though, he doesn't think much of puerto rican fighters.

I can smell Margarito and most of the other Mexican fighters sweaty balls on your breath you homeland fanboy
People like you are the reason I hate other sports like football because they only respect people because of where they are from ,(you're home country) rather than respect the better fighters skills
Cotto boxed Margaritos brains out in both fights he cheated in the first one idiot

cotto and arum had already expressed interest in a rematch for the summer of 09 had margarito beaten mosley like everybody expected
if u call their rematch a sh1t fight then ure a hard person to please
why did you post a picture of a black guy jacking off?
Beer bottle. Teddy trippin cause Cotto looks like a rejuvenated fighter with better footwork. I wouldn't say he's damaged goods.

you give credit to cotto for paying off the doctor and stopping the fight? yeah that's one way to exercise your demons..........
Cotto was going to win even without stoppage.
Difference was he stayed off the ropes.
