Is Antonio Margarito A Credible Win For Miguel Cotto?

[javelin_fangs]

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.

I agree with this. Someone had to fight Margarito. It's going to be Cotto and if Cotto takes care of him HBO will lose interest. He'll pop up somewhere again maybe even on HBO, but not with the same fanfare he's gotten recently.

Margarito has a piss poor jab, and will get his ass beat by an elite most likely. And Margarito would beat Hattons ass, because Hatton's jab is piss poor too.

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?

Your vote must not have registered in the poll. As I type this it is unanimous.

I wouldn't say he's a tough challenge for everyone (unless you count the fact he seems to never accknowledge he's taken a punch, but he could still be outboxed by Mosley or Mayweather), but he would be a great win for Cotto's resume.

Margarito would eat Ricky Hatton for breakfast, Ricky is too small. At 147 he's half the fighter he is at 140, and with the difference in height I think Margarito would break Hatton down in less than 8 rounds.

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.

and even Cotto... I definitely agree with you. The fact that he's been ducked by so many big name "CHAMPS" tells you he is a threat. If Cotto ko's Margarito then He alone would prove to everyone that he is a "TRUE CHAMP" and would fight anyone, even if they are ducked by the rest.

[KESSLER]

Yeah, Margarito is a tough ****ing dude.

Styles makes fight, I think he's gonna give Cotto hell.

[luke_ski]

I like Margarito. He's never been knocked out, and got close decisions in his big losses, so you have to take that into account. I think he showed in the Cintron fight that he can control a bout, and deserves to fight someone who can do the same. If either fighter wins, it's a good win for them.

Tony would blow little Hatton out in 3 rounds tops and wouldn't even bother putting his hands up the entire fight to be honest. However, I would still like to see it especially if he beats Cotto as it would be a big money fight for him and the sight of them standing next to each will be something to behold.

A win over Margarito will look good for Cotto's resume. Tough fighter and a high profile win which should force Mayweather to seriously consider fighting Cotto.
