Miguel Cotto Starts Training For Margarito

[Ray*]

yeah peterson is something else. I will definetly take a look into drafting him into my fantasy team if he's available.

What team does he play for??? That was some nice skills..Remind me of Ronaldo(Soccer to you guys) playing for inter Milan against lazio (1997 Uefa cup final).

P.S.....Has cotto sign the contract yet???

Cotto has more tools in the bag. Hes not a one dimentional fighter, Margarito is. Always foward. Hes gonna get outboxed, and im sure, Miguel is gonna touch those ribs. I dont see the fight going by nocaut however. But is gonna be UD!!!

So you mean to tell me that TOP RANK has spent all of its time and money on Cotto for nothing?

They have been bringing cotto along since the beginning and you think its just to set it all up for a win vs margo.

TOP RANK is just giving us a fight we want to see. Instead of bitching about it just enjoy it.May the best man win.

Let me ask you something; what happens if Cotto loses? Will his fanbase disappear? Will his career end suddenly? What do you think will happen?

comeback fight in Puerto Rico.

he has already accomplished a lot. Hes clearly a top level fighter. Losing wont effect him too too much. Only thing is the Mayweather fight might fly out the door.

Doesnt matter though, because Cotto is not losing to Margarito.

i don't think is gonna go 12 rds,
cotto is gonna get tagged,
he does not know how to fight going backwards is just not his style,
that's all mayweather

Wow i love your sig, The guy really did get ...I know we are not into American football like you guys are but that was some great skills.

Adrian Peterson is a stud on the fiedl man...You should check him out...The good thing he is still young and has a very bright future ahead of him.

lmao I'm pretty competitive!!! and if there's some puerto ricans or cotto fans sitting around us trying to be ****** we'll be ****** back!!! I by no means disrespectful or one to start **** but if brought upon me i'll take it!!! it should be fun though mexico vs puerto rico if you see a couple guys holding a mexican flag chances our it could be us

I was just messing around with you man....I know what you mean about the loud mouth fans...makes you want to slap the **** out of one of them...I will try my best to make to Vegas if my money is right...HOPEFULLY my money is right for this trip. I wouldnt mind seeing this fight live.

Why do think they are putting him against someone like marg a warrior. It dont matter if he losses its how he losses and how he comes back from it. All the greats have lost.

2 warriors are going to be fighting 1 has to win. They will both be labled as boxers that will not back down no mater what happens after the fight.

The first wave of major success hit Team Cotto and it seems like there have been a few overt changes in the attitude of the fighter, the feelings of the trainer, and their relationship with their promotional company. Money and success changes people and situations.

This is a regretful matchup with Margarito. Instead of asking for more money and haggling over the danger and details why not just do something else? Shane Mosley could be available for a rematch and it would be more money and less danger. Theoritically.

Margarito is not a bigger money fight - but Top Rank is willing to throw more money to get people in the ring with him. Why?

They offered huge, massive, gigantic money to get Mayweather and/or Mosley in the ring with Antonio Margarito - now they're offering Cotto big money to fight him.

Top Rank knows/believes that Margarito is an ethnic franchise waiting to happen. All he needs is that signature victory, and they are willing to throw a few extra million dollars at a potential big name opponent to get them on the chopping block. They'll make it all back in the long term. Chess.

Did the 8 million dollar offer for Mayweather/Mosley vs. Margarito make any sense at the time? No, not unless you understand chess. Top Rank aims to see Cotto fall. It's a setup.

I agree,I said something similar on another forum pertaining to a Margarito/Floyd match up.I felt Arum was offering Mayweather so much
thinking Mayweather might lose cause Mayweather struggled against Jose Luis Castillo a pressure fighter.

He knew Margarito was very marketable cause of his mexican nationality.

Mayweather did`nt want to take that risk cause he had that Oscar fight down the line.

Cotto cant fight going backwards? Cotto can fight very well going backwards. One great example is the Maussa fight.

Hold on, before we get excited, i think we should wait to when the contracts are signed.

Remember the contracts was supposed to be signed last week.
