Is Margarito Cotto's first big test?

[Live Dog]

1>He acually won those, even if you dont agree with that.
2>He would lose the rubber match based on what theory? Any fighter can have a poor night.
3>Word.
4>Judah was great, just not discipline. They both fought at JWW and moved up to WW. Thats why it is relevent.
5>There is no one that has KO'd Mosley and he has been in every fight he has ever lost, so that would be considered the point. It is a big acomplishment beating Mosley. No shame in winning a decision either.
6>I like Gomez man and he didnt quit. lol

1) I can dig it
2) Based on my theory that Paul is a better fighter.
3) Word
4) Judah was never great.
5) Sure it's a big accomplishment beating Mosley, but what does the fact that Mosley has never been KO'd have to do with that win. Absolutely nothing.
6) ................................

Please dude,

Every person here who hates on Cotto or was the least bit skeptical was picking Judah & Mosley to beat Cotto. Now that he's beaten them people try to mock or discredit his wins.

I've said it before...Cotto will need to beat the Cloverfield Monster to get any respect (if that).

But keep trying though...we're going on 2 yrs of doubters continuing on hoping for a Cotto loss LOL.

After July 27th we'll see this thread

"Was Margarito really a Big Challenge for Cotto?"

It'll never end. But again, keep tryin.

That's your problem. You actually think people on this site give objective opinions. Look on any website with writers that actually cover boxing, or look at any sportsbook, and you will see that Cotto was the clear favorite in Judah and Quintana.

Why not take the fight?? Maligaggi talked mad **** as well. I found it exciting he broke Malignaggis face and put him down on the canvas. I havent seen to many guys put Paulie down like that.

Every win you add to the resume makes you that much more marketable especially from a skilled boxer like Paulie.

because the fight did more for paulies career than cottos, most people remember malignaggis courage than they do cottos win. it sounds odd, but im serious.

No it is actually true. Many people believed Cotto was just a brawler with power. Even Floyd said that Mosley would stop Cotto late, everyone believed guys like Zab would be to fast and slick for Cotto, but Cotto was able to adjust to it & compensate with timing. Even Quintana was picked over Cotto in Puerto rico, I think there was only one trainer who had Cotto to win the fight out of 4-5 trainers.

Cotto was still a heavy favorite against both of them, i bet on both of those fights.

Lovemore N'dou - lost to Junior witter. Enough said.

Corley - a gatekeeper almost KO'd Cotto

Torres - took the fight on short notice and almost put Cotto away

Branco - lost to Gatti. Enough said.

Malignaggi - 7-1 underdog going into the fight and has received two gift decisions in his last two fights. Also not known as anywhere near a big puncher, he had Cotto hurt.

Quintana - we all saw his last fight.

Urkal - lol

Judah - who hasn't beaten this guy

Mosley - was a great fighter, but his last big win was against Oscar in '03. A fight most thought he lost.

Gomez - that's right, Alfonso Gomez.

Wha? I don't think you can put Margarito above Mosley.

Mosley was Cotto's first big test. Margarito is a B level fighter and has failed everytime he's gotten on the big stage.

Exactly. And I as I mentioned earlier, I thought I remembered Cotto being upset that he had to fight Paulie. So if you think you're that much better than the guy, and don't want to fight, then why fight?

[tredh]

I'm a big fan of Cotto and Marg. I do think this will be his biggest test, just not his first big test.

I agree with the bold.
