There's a lot of Cotto Bashing right now!

[Shalafi]

A lot of Margarito fans are really running at the mouth, and I'm not saying they shouldn't. This is a forum and they have every right to share their opinions and support their fighter but.. All these threads and talk of Margarito destroying Cotto with ease and inside of 5 rounds sounds more like insecurity rearing it's ugly head. The Cotto fans like the Marg fans are obviously confident that their fighter is going to win but you don't see them going on and on about invincibility and how the fight is going to be a cake walk. Any objective boxing fan realizes this is going to be a tough fight for both men and very likely a war of attrition. I hope this post doesn't sound like I'm talking trash to the Margarito fans b/c that's not the purpose but.. Lets get serious. This is going to be a tough close and hard fought fight for whoever wins. Anyone else have any objective opinions in anticipation of the fight?

Where the **** have you been for the past 3 months bro? Cotto fans looking at this fight objectively?? you gotta be kidding me, as a matter of fact Cotto fans are the ones who started this whole trash talk, get the **** outta here you g00k.

dammit!

how about a small junior welterweight? juan urango available for cotto and marg?

or an old past prime super welterweight? you think verno phillips will take a cotto or marg fight?

..Well.. someone needs to relieve those Junior Middleweights of their belts. Otherwise Duddy's going to do it then he'll be a legit world champ.

Like I said before, calling me a **** won't help your fighter and it makes you look like an ass. If you want me to talk **** to you then you can try again.

Definitely Margarito may have not have had his opportunities but that's not anything that can really be considered at the end of the day when it comes to comparing Resumes.. Who knows, if Clottey got more chances maybe he'd be running the show. Margarito's toughness will be important but.. I don't think his size is going to help him much. Do you expect him to fight tall from the outside? Cause being tall isn't going to help him any at close range.

I'll disagree on your first point. I think it has to be considered why no big name would even use him as a tuneup. That alone says hes not just a club fighter but actually dangerous. Its the same with all fighters. A chance to produce on the big stage is all any fighter wants. Some get it from early on, some don't get it until much later in their careers, which is why I think it has to be mentioned.

I expect Tony to fight from inside, outside, upside down, inside out, whatever its going to take. This is his one shot moreso than Cottos.

show proof because to me it sounds like the margarito fans are the crazy **** talkers and didn't the majority of people call margarito an overrated bum after he lost to williams what happened to that and what has margarito did to change what people thought of him

He's definitely dangerous and I think there's a good chance a lot of the stuff you're saying will come true. Anyone using Margarito as a tuneup fight obviously has a ******ed management. None of the top 10 Welterweights would be very safe tuneups. It's a stacked division.

margarito fought williams and lost and barely beat clottey and why would shane want to fight margarito instead of cotto, who is the better name on your resume to have

I'll let you in on a secret.. Duddy's going to go down in weight and destroy the Junior Middleweights. He'll be in the top 10 P4P by this time next year...

I love it.
How do you think it stacks up to welter competition of the past meaning, a time when the competition was as fierce as it is now?
