    I, myself that thought he was too small.

    I didn't think he was going to be able to hit Mayweather enough to get the decision, and I think that taking a flush left hook from Oscar in the closing seconds of the fight was going to be more than enough to tell me that Hatton wasn't knocking Mayweather out.

      People weren't focused on the head, more so the body.

      "Hatton will jump all over him and then with his countless body attack, he'll stop Mayweather!!"

      It's true a lot of people picked Mayweather, but Hatton was still supposed to give him hell because of a countless body attack.

        yep they are bring in it on themselves if cotto manages to beat margarito mayweather fans would use their words and claim that cotto is still not a good opponent
        instead if margarito beats cotto it will be funny cuz mayweather will look like a fool for still ducking tony after all this years

          It's like Mayweather said before (not exact quote)

          If a guy has an L under his belt..than then the secret to beat em is revealed.
          --------------------------------------------------------------
          So Margy has been exposed 5 times..

          That's not sayin that Margy can't expose cotto but 32 have tried and all have failed.

          Can't say the same about Margy. Sorry

            I haven't tried to discredit Margarito because I feel even though he loss to Williams that he and Cotto are the 2 best fighters in the WW division. Now that they are going at it, it can only mean good things for boxing. Though I've stated how I feel this fight will go down, I won't really feel that bad if Cotto loses because I do believe Margarito is one tough SOB and I know he'll have to put Cotto through some serious **** to beat him, which then he'll have deserved the W. Otherwise, if Cotto beats him with a smart gameplan, I see Cotto being the top WW champ, with Floyd just clinging to a dilussional I'm the best based on theories and not proving himself.

              This might be true for diehard Cotto fans.

              I however am a semi-Cotto fan and I'm totally dissing the **** out of Margarito.

              I think he is overrated based on Floyd turning down the 8mill, I think he is a hair above a C-level fighter - meaning he is -B class.

              I've already pointed out that he is not unknockoutable as he has been hurt three times against lesser fighters in his career.

              I think he is a real sloooow fighter. Any A class fighter should deal with this guy.

                      Meaning I wouldn't quite put him in the Arturo Gatti level of C plus fighters but he is close.

                      As far as the "I think he is overrated based on Floyd turning down the 8mill" Part. That means, the majority of the people didn't even know Margarito but once Arum made the offer and it came out that floyd turned it down, peopled jumped on the bandwagon because they were looking for a hero to bring Floyd down and he became it. Most of them have switched over to the Cotto train now.
