Kelson Pinto-Antonio Margarito comparison

[withoutthee88]

Cotto is gonna be on his bike in this fight, can't wait for the excuses.

[Undefeated]

**** No. Torres would wipe his ass with Cotto. Cotto ****in sucks. Torres had 2 1/2 weeks of training. **** that. Cotto knows Torres would kick his ****in ass, THAT WHY THERE WAS NO REMATCH. No matter what you say, you know deep in your heart that was the reason. They didnt want him to fight anyone with a punch that would expose Cotto, so they picked past their prime fighters with good names to build this ****in bum up, and didnt give Torres a rematch. Torres knocks Cotto out RIGHT NOW!! The only way he beats Tores is if he makes Torres follow him to 147, because GOd knows if there was ever a rematch at 140 Torres wins. Cotto left 140 so he wouldnt have to fight Torres again.

Did you see what Cotto did to Torres even after he was hurt? Seriously? Cotto would beat him even faster. Judah and Mosley hit harder than Torres. Cotto was weight drained at 140 and it was only a matter of time before he moved up, plus he had to face his mandatory. There was no time for a rematch, but for Cotto to defend his title. You gotta speak up! Like Mosley lacked to do after losing that close fight to Cotto. Torres failed to do so. He should have demanded a rematch, but he was broken down by Cotto. The man knows it himself.

LOL. Yeah, I'm sure showing up to weigh-ins looking like Christian Bale in The Machinist had nothing to do with it.

Man im a Cotto fan too but some of you Cotto fans sound like Mayweather nutthuggers.

"Mayweather is a lightweight fighting at weltweight he shouldn't have to fight Margarito."


If Cotto was at jr. weltwerweight then as a fighter he takes on the best at 140 as in the rematch but no way thats do able at 140 anymore.

Going off the performances of all three Judah, Mosley, Torres against Cotto, Torres does look like he hits harder at 140.

Well where's the link?

To many in the United States, Colombia is synonymous with the illegal drug trade.

Though the country might never be equated with boxing, the charismatic Ricardo Torres could help to at least soften his homeland's image, particularly if he comes up with an effort like he did Sept. 24, 2005, in a WBO super lightweight title bout against Miguel Cotto.


He lost that all-out slugfest in Atlantic City before a nationally televised audience on HBO. The bout featured five knockdowns and more than enough drama for a season of prime-time shows.

Torres, though, is hardly well known in his own country, where before meeting Cotto he racked up a 28-0 mark with 26 knockouts but still generated little other than indifference.

But if he defeats Mike Arnaoutis on Saturday at the Thomas & Mack Center to win the WBO title, Torres can count on receiving plenty of attention.

All he's concerned about, though, is becoming a hero to those closest to him.

"I really want to do this for my family, as a gift for them," said Torres, who knocked Cotto down once but was knocked down four times before being stopped in the seventh round of that bout, which was among the contenders for Fight of the Year.

The fight drew an unexpectedly high rating for HBO and placed Torres squarely among the best in the world at 140 pounds.

That he managed to fight as well as he did while injuring his right wrist was little short of miraculous. Torres is one of the division's hardest punchers and knocked out 12 men in the first round, but he tore ligaments and tendons in his wrist early in the bout against Cotto.

He didn't have the snap he normally has on his punches, though he hurt Cotto several times. He wants to get past Arnaoutis and win his first world title as the first step toward a rematch with Cotto.

Cotto has abandoned the WBO title to move to welterweight, where he'll meet Carlos Quintana on Dec. 2 for the WBA belt. Torres said if getting a rematch with Cotto meant moving up in weight, that's what he plans to do.

Even though he has a lithe build and says he has no problems making 140, he said he felt he'd be able to handle the move up.

"That's the fight I want, but I have to have this one to get into position to get that," he said of his bout with Arnaoutis. "I have to be ready for 12 hard rounds. I'm healthy, and I'm ready to fight the way that I can."

Dude, Torres hurt Cotto with a****ed up wrist. Cotto vacated the belt!!!
Torres wipes his ass with Cotto. Read the article I put up.

[My Name Is...]

Come on, I put FACTS, you guys are stating opinions, where are you guys now. Torres wants to go to 147 to fight him, Cotto still wont

[Scott9945]

YES. How many times do I have to put it in threads, I even posted an interview where he said he wanted the rematch, but Cotto wont fight him.

Torres got hurt in that fight and didn't come back for nine months. If they had fought again, Cotto would have demolished Torres.

My ****in ass. Torres whoops Cotto's ass EASY. If he hurt Cotto with a ****ed up wrist, a fully trained un-injured Torres wipes his ass with Cotto.

You don't make a whole lot of sense here. I also think it's rather funny that you're trying to imply someone is nuthugging when you have that shrine to Mexican fighters in your sig, in fights they lost. And even had the nerve to come up with some ridiculous imaginary recap of a fight trying to pass it off as fact, when it's 100% bull****.

So okay, why hasn't Torres pushed for the rematch then if he was willing to move to 147? He's a Top Rank fighter too, and I know he doesn't have an easy time making 140 from an interview he did a while back. You're making it seem like Torres was going hard for the rematch and Team Cotto refused. Paulie Malignaggi also says he wants a rematch with Cotto, even at 147. Is Cotto avoiding him too?
