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

[Easy-E]

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.

What Tony did was relevant to boxing, and what happened inside the ring and his reaction to it.

Floyd was charged with domestic abuse and those charges were dropped.
Whats your point?

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.

no one ever said that

No argument there, Tony in no way has one-punch KO power. He just seems to overwelm people with his high output and break them down. It was just funny the way you worded your statement...making it seem like it was okay 'cause Cintron didn't get KO'd, he just started crying! I see what you're saying though!

i dont think you have been here very long...

[toe to toe]

i dont understand all this hate for a man who is a proud warrior. he accepts the loss to cotto but like a true champion he felt he won and so do many of his fans. you guys look for any reason to hate margarito and the mexican fighters.

What Tony did after the fight speaks to his character. It was not during a fight, although things you do during a fight can speak to your character. Floyd also has done ******, childish, irresponsible things that have made him look bad. Anything a man does is relevant to his character, not just what he does inside the ring or in a post-fight interview. Floyd has said plenty of questionable things in interviews.

For the record, I think Williams won the fight. Margarito dug himself into a hole by not really doing **** the first half of the fight. I also felt that Tony might be able to salvage a draw had he won the 12th round convincingly, but props to Paul for fighting through it and winning the round!

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.

Margarito is just so damn durable, and he's going to take it to Cotto from the opening bell on. That alone is going to be tough for Cotto. Williams is another one of those lanky guys I figure would give him problems, but I can definitely see Cotto breaking him down. I cant say the same for Margarito.

Do we need to bring up his post-Baldomir fight interview???

Nobody had a problem with him until his promoter and fans hyped him up to be something he's not. If Arum came out and said Cotto was the most feared man in boxing, I'd understand why people would hate on him. That ****s annoying.
