Antonio Margarito: "Expect a War With Miguel Cotto"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Antonio Margarito is ready to take the rivalry between Puerto Rico and Mexico to the next level. On July 26 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Margarito is planning to go to war with WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto. Margarito tells MaxBoxing/BoxingScene.com's Steve Kim to expect nothing less than a war, and he's planning to break his record for total punches thrown in a fight. [details]

Mayn.. its going down.. if anyone gets K.O. it will be Cotto for sure... the only way Cotto stands a chance is if he runs... i just hope that it dont really hurt his carrer alot if Cotto looses.. couse im really really leaning towars Margarito.. he is a straight Soldier... Cotto gonna get roughed up that night ... i just hope that is not one of those fights that is gonna affect Cottos carrer forever after the punishment he gonna take... He was very ****** for taking that fight .. He is one of my favorite boxers.. i wish he would of fought anybody else instead of Margarito..

The reference to breaking his punches thrown record is pretty wild.

Sounds like Margarito is coming to win alright..

Since when has Cotto boxed and ran,maybe he would try,but its Cotto,hes always gona fight,hes a warrior,this is gna be a WAR

[chibomber]

Hes right he could break the record for punches thrown but what counts is punches landed. War COTTO!

[WifeBeaterClub]

As I have seen both fight many times....I have to go w/Margarito on this one. Cotto will not run and Toney won't either it'll be a war until the mid rounds where Cotto will be stopped

[MANGLER]

Tony's hungry as ****. He's been waitin too long to blow this shot. I got a feelin no matter what Cotto does it just won't be enough. Tony won't let him box. He'll have to go to war, and that will be his downfall. Could take down Izzy-Raf III as FOTY, but I think Tony will win it.

that's the reson why he won't lst against margarito,
maybe weather will, you need to be slick enough to beat margarito,
i don't thinkd cotto can do that

The reason the opportunity never came for you Margarito is because you lost your last big fight against Williams. So here we are a year later. Your talking good talk. That does not prove it. you have to do it in the ring. No excuses.

[VIVA MEXICO!!]

everyone knows margarito will be coming forward and hunting cotto down. the real question is whether cotto will be a man and stand his ground or run like a coward. and tony knows no matter what the rest of the welterweight division will continue ducking him.
