I made this thread to give all of those guys some credit. I was hammered out of my gourd last night when I made it, so I wasn't trying to call everyone an idiot, just people who never seem to want to give people credit. Both fights were pretty entertaining, sure MArgarito showed some rust and he didn't look as sharp as he could have, but Clottey is a better fighter than most people understand.
To sum up, my boy Cotto is a KILLER.Comment

Here's my post from 11-22:
"I'd give Clottey a better shot of beating Tony than Williams, slightly. Clottey is very underrated and is basically undefeated. He was beating Baldomir before he was DQ'd late. He's got a tight attack, goes to the body well, good chin, etc. Clottey v. Margarito should be very good.
Williams is there to be hit with so much room when he throws those awkward punches, I just don't see him being able to take Margarito's punches all night. We all agree both Williams and Margarito will be able to land clean shots consistently on each other, it seems, it's just that everyone is in disagreement over who can take who's punches."
Most singing Margarito's demise were simply clueless to how good Clottey was. How about giving him credit for taking this fight and showing the determination to win? Clottey was doing well early keeping his hands up and countering with that laser left hand, but when Tony would move forward and throw punches, Clottey would go defensive 90% of the time. So what did Tony do? He made the adjustment to simply never stop moving forward and throwing punches. That's how he won, that and a granite chin. He took some steam off of his punches and just never stopped throwing, and it was an insane amount of power shots he threw last night.
So how about some props to Tony for making an adjustment and being able to have the insane stamina to do what it took to win against a very tough fighter to hit clean and look good against?Comment

Anyone with a brain knows Floyd won't stand right in front of Margarito. Margarito will get beat to the punch and outboxed all night.Comment

I think Floyd would beat THAT Margarito we saw last night easily too....much like the Baldomir win. MArgarito needs to work on cutting off that ring so he can actually set up his punches, as opposed to just pushing out punches to start his offense.Comment

Floyd would beat Margarito anyday.Comment

People always say Cotto has a bad chin. He has only been knocked down once and even then it was a push. Hes been hurt a couple times and within minutes he was fine. The Corley shot was quick and he didnt see it. Floyd got cought with the same exact shot. The only reason people are saying Corley was wrong for going to the body is because Manny Steward was bitching about it. If people had that on mute I bet they wouldnt be saying this.Comment

You and other trash-talking couch fans should fight toughman. Not Margarito. Margarito is rated top 5 at 147 in the sport of boxing, not Toughman. He would destroy you in the ring and has beaten everyone he has faced at 147 for many years.Margarito doesn't belong in the sport of boxing, period. He should try out toughman competitions or some **** because if he got in there with the likes of a skilled boxer, like Floyd Mayweather, he'd have to retire out of shame afterwards.
Every style is not meant to be like Wright's or Floyd's. In boxing, there are brawlers and in Margarito's case, objectively, it has been to his advantage for him to fight the way he fights.Comment

One point I want to make.
After the Torres fight, everyone on this forum was screaming their balls off about how Cotto is overrated piece of **** and does not belong in the sport of boxing.
Now, everyone is ready to suck his **** clean.
Same goes for Tony. A ifghter has a less then stellar showing against a good opponent and now he is labeled as a nobody.
BPP please ban these pricks.Comment
