The Margarito ghost wasn't put to bed in that fight, because Clottey isn't as good as Margarito. He may be more skilled, but he takes his foot off the gas. The only thing that saved Cotto in that fight was Clottey's lack of killer instinct. Cotto would've needed knee pads against a more aggressive fighter.
Maybe not without the bricks, but he is.
For the past months, when asked, Cotto said that he would have no problem giving Margarito a rematch. It is one of the most sought after fights for hardcore boxing fans.
But lately he seems to be ¨pulling a Mayweather¨ on fighting Margarito. Saying things like:
¨Margarito will not make one more cent out of Miguel Cotto¨
¨Margarito in in the past¨
So I ask you, will Cotto pull a Mayweather and avoid the rematch with Margarito?
Why should he? Margarito already pull a Mayweather. He was so frighten he had to go armed in the ring. If you don't call that being a coward than I don't know what is. It's easy to act brave when you're loading your gloves.
When someone acts like a coward or cheats they can be refer as pulling a Margachito.
true, cotto gains little to no credit for this win... he's just too big
But Floyd will? He gets more credit than fighting an old ,smaller out of shape past his prime Juan Manuel Marquez. Mayweather was too big he didn't make the weight at least Cotto will.
People who use them get a boost of energy, power and strength. They also manage to stay injured free. It all depends what you might be taking. but it helps their training a lot.
while others might have trouble getting lean into shape steroids makes it easier for those that use them. Being in shape takes self sacrifice , but steroids is a shortcut for it. But it will cause harm for those that used it in the long run. Anything not natural may cause harm to your body. Especially when used excessively.
Man if Floyd was trying to get peoples attention he be lost. When he retired everyone forgot his ass, but he wanted to comeback for the spotlight and because he was broke.
He's the only one making videos to get peoples attention while Pac & Cotto just do their thing. Now he's always defending himself about shane time and time again. He should just man up and fight him and stop bringing in people to talk for him in videos. I guess he doesn't like being alone he lacks self confidence.
Jump to 2:11 :lol1:
Floyd and his clown of men. He's definitely out of his mind. Always trying to feel good about himself he has a lot of growing up to do.
It's weird how Paul can't get the names he wants but people question his opposition.
He should had stayed at 147 and climb up the ladder for another title. The problem sometimes is that fighters get titles for beating a no name boxer.
If Williams stayed around he would eventually had to face a champion, but its fighters like Mayweather that relinquish their titles just to hide from the the toughest opposition that effects the sport. Guys like mayweather like to beat nobodies for titles and then move up in weight. thats why Paul Williams moved up. when Cotto lost, Maragrito got caught and Mayweather retired their wasn't big names out there. He should've stayed to fight Mosley, but he didn't care at the time. He moved up because he wasn't patient enough. Its his fault.
He rematched Quintana and K.O'd him in the 1st. Dominated Vernon Phillips, shut out Winky. What does he have to do then? Clottey? Quintana? Where does that take him?
He didn't prove much by beating Quintana by K.O. in the first round. sure we all know he has power, but you dont expect him to knock everyone out do you. He has to go against a real elite fighter and show what he can do. winky or phillips are past their time.
De La Hoya said Fernando Vargas was very strong at the beginning of the fight. He didn't think he could beat him, but as the fight progress De La Hoya kept using his technic and got to him. I think steroids helps you being into shape and strong, but it won't help your technic. I not sure it help Vargas resistance, because he got knocked out, but it might of been the effects from his last lost to Trinidad in where he got k.O. at the end.
please!!!!
clottey gives any WW problems!!! and mosley beat cotto, whereas clottey lost to cotto.
I am not going into the discussion of Cotto beat Mosley, but if he did thats is not the point. You're just helping out the fact that Cotto's been hurt. All these fighters have been avoided, but Cotto took them on. And thanks to Margacheater and the rest of his battles, plus his car accident he might really be shot. Those are facts he got hurt and he isn't as tough as he use to be.
that's what i'm saying... cotto is not shot or ruined... I better not hear that excuse after the fight.
How would you know? Miguel was destroyed on that day. Not even Tony was the same after that fight. You're just pretending to know what you don't. No fighter has taken that much of a beating and fought so many tough fights like Miguel has.
He's soften up he would've beaten J. Clottey easily if it weren't cause of his previous battles. Mosley was much more of a challenge, but Miguel didn't look as nearly as bad as he did with Miguel. If J.Clottey would've fought the same Cotto that fought Mosley Miguel wouldn't have trouble with him. Miguel is clearly not the same.
He's prime right now. 1 loss shouldn't derail a world class fighter or make him shot.
One loss? He got Plasterize and before had two grueling battles with Mosley and Judah. He had another tough battle with Clottey.
Why do you think they were comparing him with Gatti? Because Cotto even though he has technic likes to put on a fight. He isn't this fast pace fighter that runs away from contact. He's willing to take some punishment as long as he can dish some out.
cotto's always been hurt!!! it didn't just start w/ the margo fight... he's always been getting hurt ever since 140 lbs.
don't just blame it on margo... that's just the kind of fight cotto is... he is not shot or ruined... he's just a pretty good boxer who has a leaky defenes.
You admit he's been hurt, but yet you don't admit he might not be as strong as before. Getting hurt in battles is what eventually turns you into a shot fighter.
He might not be as shot as others , but he definitely can't take the same punishment as before. He was a lot more hurt against Margarito and almost made the twelve round. Now Clottey had no plaster, but yet Miguel was exhausted.
No one can't denied that if Miguel had the same fight he did with Margarito he wouldn't last 11 rounds, because he isn't capable of taking the same amount of punishment.
Pacquiao has showed he's still very fast a 145. Pacquiao was to fast for lightweights and Cotto has never fought a guy with that kind of speed. Zap was fast, but he stops moving and he aint fighting 12 rounds like manny can. with Cotto Pac won't have to reach up like he had to do with De La Hoya. Pacs punches are going to be much stronger like they were against Hatton.
Cotto will take the fight for a 80/20 split in his favor. Not sure if that's too much for Margarito. Because Cotto doesn't have anything to win, but Margarito is trying to win back his reputation by just one fight without proving he went up the ranks by cheating.
