This is the fight where I became Kneeguelito. Margodrito es mi papa y mi dios.
Your right. Like a mugger with a gun is papa to a victim. Put that gun down and it's a different story.
You must be one of those guys who watch a gang jumping one guy and believe the gang are true warriors and " papas "...:smashfrea
Whether Margarito cheated in that fight or not we will never know for sure. Only thing we know for sure is Cotto had a terrible game plan that was adjusted in the rematch. If he would have clinched Marg say 20 times in that fight, he would have never lost. Only Pac can constantly stick and move like that all night. Even Floyd would have had to clinch.
Floyd is still a far better defensive fighter and simply much better fighting on his back foot. Margarito would have given him a tough fight, but assuming Margarito didn't have plaster hands for the fight Floyd beats him pretty decisively. I think it'd be just like the Chico fight minus all the knockdowns, Floyd still had his legs back then.
I'm with u on this one. Floyd is much more intelligent and faster. Cotto was having difficulty fighting on the back foot and his defence was awkward.
There is no way in hell Floyd would have slowed Margarito down. If Cotto couldn't do it, hitting Margarito with everything and the kitchen sink with twice the power of floyd, how the hell would Floyd have done it?
Margarito would have forced him to the ropes and battered him worse than Castillo or Maidana and eventually walked him down.
I don't see how Floyd could possibly beat this version of Margarito, there is no way. Only offensive powerhouses like Pac and Mosley would have been able to slow him down and it would have to be a war.
Difference between Cotto's defense and Floyd's is night and day.
Even Margarito didn't believe you. If he did, he would not have entered the ring with plaster wraps. We live in the era of the fool. You have a guy caught, suspended and exposed, and still the fools try and squeeze him through the gates of glory as if he were Roberto Duran. Hands of plaster. :boxing:
LMAO I'm using this thanks
Guerra WARgarito!!!!!!! :headbang:
Innocent until proven guilty, and his courage never in question.
His courage never questioned but his career on the other hand has a huge question mark.

Kneeguel "no mas" Cotto fans just mad that prime Margarito was far too much for him :lol1:
I would like to get in contact with you on some possible investments. You can make a lot of money off this bridge in Brooklyn they are selling.

They didn't suspend him and trainer for nothing:smashfrea
Your family members must have been on the jury for the OJ Simpson trial
I just hope to have dumb people on my jury if I ever got put on trial.
And the beauty of boxing is the nature of its unpredictability, especially Cotto returning the favor by avenging his loss when most thought the second fight would only be a repeat of the first.
When Max Kellerman said "it seems to me that Cotto wants the fight to end already..while for Margarito it seems like he's just getting started"...that line gives me goosebumps everytime I watch this fight...& how right was Kellerman!
The HBO buildup to this event & the rivalry between the 2 guys etc everything was perfect!...What a fight that was!
My favourite line from that fight was where Lampley says "Cotto's looking for breathing room and there is none." Summed it all up.
