Margarito: "Maybe I Should Have Gone Straight to Cotto"

[Easy-E]

yall can say whatever you want, Margarito would be an extremely tough fight for Cotto. Marg is a pretty huge 147lber, while Cotto has come up from 140, although I actually dont remember what weight he comes in at on fight night. anyone know?
but anyways, Marg is 5'11 while Cotto is 5'7 or somethin. Margarito is a very powerful puncher who also throws a ton of punches, and dont tell me Cotto hasnt been hurt before by big punchers. Cotto has those amazing power punches, especially to the body, but Margarito can take a ton of punishment from what Ive seen of him.

Margarito would give Cotto hell. styles make fights.

Margarito's power is extremly overrated.
He has no knockout victories over credible opponents.
Even in the Cintrion fight, Kermit took tons of punishment and still was never cleanly knocked out, he just started to cry and the fight got stopped.

I am looking at the entirety of your posts. I don't have to make an opinion solely based on one thread. If you would be forgiving of Floyd for recanting, you should equally give slack to Margarito if he changed his stubborn viewpoint. Simple as that.

When has Mayweather complained and bitched about a decision the way Margarito did?
What examples of Floyds behavior constitute that one cannot approve or not comment on his behavior compared to Tony's actions after the Williams fight?

The problem is when someone degrades Margarito as if what he said just after the fight was the whole story. It is not. And that needs to be acknowledged in the spirit of fairness and forgiveness. Otherwise, you who blast Tony for what he did are dishonest. It's fine to look at what he did after the fight, but not just the parts that make him look bad.

Just as Floyd is a **** sometimes, and other times he does good things for the community.

I never said Floyd bitched about a decision either. I just implied his behavior has been awful at times, just as Margarito's was after the Williams fight.

Yeah he would. These lanky Welterweights like Cintron and Margarito will give Cotto a lot of problems.

Right, but Floyd is an ******* when trying to promote fights or create potential matchups, Tony just bitched about being robbed when he could have done more in that fight.
The two attitudes are not relevant to one another.

How so?
Cotto is an inside fighter who likes to brawl and work to the body.
Margarito is tailor made for Cotto he likes to brawl and had a ton of body that Cotto can go to work on.

Williams on the other hand, might be able to use his reach, and keep the fight a boxing match where he could outpoint Cotto for 12 rounds.

It's not as if one is worse than the other. You can't pick and choose. Floyd also has been involved in criminal issues. The issue is that both guys have done inappropriate things. Absolutely relevant.

In any case, no matter what each guy did, if anyone tries to recant and do the right thing, only an ******* (since we are on the subject) would continue to blast them as if they had never apologized or changed.

How is starting to cry from the ass-whooping you're taking better than being KO'd??? I mean ****! I'd ****ing rather get my ass put to sleep from a punch than start to cry like a *****!

I didnt say one was better, I was referring to Margarito's pure power.
Regardless, he beat Cintrion down, but Tony does not have this one punch knockout power that so many of his fanboys seem to think he does.
