    Its July 3, and I am saying it right now.

    Margarito is a one dimensional brawler. He was decisioned by Paul Williams and has only looked impressive against weak competition, i.e. Golden Johnson, Manuel Gomez, etc etc.

    If he beats Miguel Cotto, than Miguel Cotto was overrated.

    If Miguel Cotto wins, I dont want to see all these people talking about him being #1 p4p and how Floyd is scared of him and how he is one of the GOAT's at welterweight, because it's not true.

    Cotto's oppositon has been carefully selected, e****ially after the Torres fight.

    Tony is big, has alot of heart, a great chin, and pretty decent power.
    That being said, he would get outboxed by any true and legitimate welterweighgt contender.

    I am saying here and now, regardless of what happens on June 26th, that Marg is one dimensional, albeit with heart and chin, and if Cotto loses he will be one of the most overrated prospects of the last 10 years.

    Have fun with this...

    Why is it that every time someone loses for the first time, all of a sudden they are overrated? How are you rating them, are you setting the bar at never losing? Only Rocky Marciano can do that.

    This kind of logic is why every time there are two undefeated guys the promoter throws the show on PPV. People put too much stock into undefeated records and not enough in the number one guy fighting the number 2 guy.

      You can't carefully select Margarito when you're not a slick boxer.

        did you watch margarito-williams, williams is a damn good fighter and tony started slow and the fight could have gone either way. i guess youre one of those people who whenever a fighter losses you go OMGzzzzzz he lost, hes crap and was sooooo exposed.

            I think it's a little late to call Cotto a prospect.

              So it's a lose lose fight in your eyes.
              If Margarito wins Cotto is overrated.
              If Cotto wins Margarito is a one dimensional brawler.

                PBF stans won't give either of these guys any credit. Tony and Cotto stans won't give the other guy any credit. Don't seem to be any middle ground. I'm sure whoever wins, it won't be 1 sided. And both these guys are the other's toughest test and would be their biggest win. Winner gets mad props, and no way the loser is automatically 'overrated' and 'exposed'. That **** is gettin old.

                  If he beats Miguel Cotto then he deserves respect and credit because Miguelito is NOT over rated.

                    He has more losses than that. While i think it will be a good win for Cotto, after seeing Maragrito fighting a couple times I too think Margarito will lose convincingly. Cotto has more technic, movements and skill than Margarito.
