Margarito / Cotto

[MaYaN_SuN]

Margarito

Fast hands have officially been proven to give Tony more than enough problems. He can take a punch, but he cant counter at all lol. I've seen fights where Tony looks more lively in the ring but I really don't think he has that natural instinct to slip and move. He has no head movement, and cant throw punches at angles. He can capitalize when your against the ropes, but the official fighters in the weight class stay off the ropes. But he can take a punch and get through your defense if you stop moving, I think a fight with Cotto would be interesting to see..

Cotto

I cant front, I love watchin this guy fight. The way he puts his hooks together makes my mouth drool, they're as fast as most peoples jabs...even at this weight. But for the first time i saw his wrist's kinda clinch when he would hit the body and shoulder area wich lead me to believe a Welterweights body is a little too big for him. I had a feeling Quintana would go onto a KO or a Decision, but those hooks proved to be more devistating than they appeared, especially to the face...Quintana got dazed and got plugged right on the back of the rib cage and spat out a NO MAS, that speaks highly of Cotto's power because Quintana was lookin decent against em. I dont know if Quintana's nerves got the best of him or if Cotto's power dictated it...But either way, Cotto connected and came out with a strong W.

Arum would never put Cotto in with Margarito. You say Margarito like to get hit, but i'll tell you this, at least he wasn't a punching bag like Winky and Quartey were for each other.

Margarito takes punchs cause he can, you didn't mention how Margarito did slip some punchs and used his boxing to contol the whole fight and got on the inside when he chose too. Margarito is a smarter fighter then most people give him credit for. And seeing the fight again, and how Margarito had a swollen right wrist, you can tell in the fight Margarito in the later rounds was hardly throwing the right hand. Margarito is a warrior unlike Clottey he wasn't looking for a way out. If Clotteys corner listen or cared for their fighters wishs Clottey would have retired on the stool. Cotto would get ko'd by Margarito.

Margarito was a lil ***** at the end of his fight looking for excuses and complaining about his hand. What a joke this guy is. So much for all the hype.........

You should add, "Clottey was a ***** for complaing in every round about his hand wanting his corner to throw in the towel."

one of the reason that Arum wont do it because he is going to loss two or one istead of making money on both.

but if it ever happen then Cotto would win.

Just say it, Margarito is too dangerous for Cotto. If i was Arum i'd even think twice before putting Cotto in with Cintron.

Margarito already thought twice about getting in the ring with Paul Williams. He was supposed to fight Williams tonight, but he knew better and went for Clottey instead...

Margarito and Cotto need to face off.....with the winner getting a shot at Mayweather, provided he's smart enough to stay at Welterweight after he beats Oscar.

Plus, it would be a huge fight in the proper venue with the whole "Mexico vs Puerto Rico" rivalry thing.

Dont worry the Williams fight is next unless Mosley or Cotto step up.

You know the Mosley fight is not going to happen for sure. I think Margarito will drop his belt and go to 154 his next fight to avoid Paul Williams...
