Is Antonio Margarito A Credible Win For Miguel Cotto?

Somewhat, Margarito is one of those bugs that stay around and annoy you and wants attention until you give it to it. But once you kill that bug it really didn't matter or mean too much besides you getting it out of the way.

It's a analogy. I'll break it down, Margarito has been lurking in the 147lb weight division for awhile and even called the most feared. Now as much as he calls out ppl and such they ignore him but now they got no choice. But that "bug" aka Margarito is around and such so much that you gotta "smack" that "bug" As in giving him a chance. So getting rid of Margarito is something that just has to be done and should be done with no huge credibility. Get it?

Thatbwas a funny analogy lol.

Na Margarito is a credible win, but dont be ******, if Oscar cud comfortably make 147 he would desicion Tony, but Tony would beat Hatton in my opinion

Cotto gets mad props if he beats Tony.

There are some that say that Margarito wouldnt be able to hold Hatton's jockstrap. There are some that say that Margarito wouldnt stand a CHANCE against Oscar De La Hoya and would most likely get KNOCKED OUT. And not the Oscar of the 1990's either, but the Oscar of today. There are even some saying that Margarito might as well even be a tune up for Miguel Cotto and that he should be criticized for taking an easy fight again. So what do you all think?

There are really people who say that? ive never seen that one. Id pick Oscar over Margarito, but Margarito would be a good win not a great win as he hasnt really done anything. The same goes for Cotto, it would be a good win for Marg, im not sure about a great win, but this fight is necesary because its puts the winner in the position to legitimize them as the best, if either wins impressively is says a whole lot about that fighter.

Of course. He'll have beaten someone who has been consistently avoided by Mayweather and De La Hoya. A KO win over Margarito on PPV makes him the one to beat at 147.

I'm not as hyperbolic as some people. Margarito has the height on Cotto so that's going to be a challenge. He's also probably the 4th, 5th or 6th best fighter in a thinning, but quality division. So, it'd be a good win.

I said Margarito'd lose to DLH and I believe that because unlike most welterweights, DLH is just as big as Margarito, has taken middleweight punches and has much better technical skills than Margarito. Margarito's size and height advantages against 5'6"-5'8" fighters like Mayweather, Judah, Mosley, Cotto and even Hatton quickly evaporates against a fellow 5'11" fighter like DLH. DLH still has better speed and technique and maybe even more power than Margarito.

I do think it's Cotto's lowest risk, highest reward money fight, but it'll be a decent win for him. It doesn't make him any more qualified to fight Mayweather, but that doesn't change the fact that its a solid win.

Of course it would be. He would have beaten another top 10 welterweight.
