Could Cotto even breath with the nose problem?

[Mojita]

That's what i was gunna say. Yes the nose did cause him problems, but the reason it cause him problems is because Margarito busted his nose up with punches. Therefore, It is no excuse.

Cotto lost. He might win a rematch, But he lost this fight fair and square.

I don't think anybody is making it an an "excuse'.

Margarito did win FAIR and square.

What we're trying to say is that it was a "factor" in Cotto losing and the fight would have been different had it not been for the nose.

Same as you guys saying Margarito would have won if he would have started faster againest Williams.

Simple.

What about the excuses Marg fans give that Margs started slow againest Williams?

i aint giving no excuses at all.

i'm just saying I feel if it wasnt for the nose problem, he pull off a close decision.

Your a Sore Loser Accept it your man got Defeated clear, He tried his best to get that victory and was cut short due to the damage Marg was putting on him.

I bet on Cotto. Was rooting for Cotto. I like Cotto, more than I like Tony. I bet 160K points on Cotto.


It was a factor, but it was a factor caused by Tony. So, it's part of life.

IMDAZED youre a flippin dumbass - the broken nose was a factor and a pretty ****in big one my god no wonder the boards are going down the ****ter with fans like you posting their crap on them.

it was a factor in cotto losing the fight, not the cause, theres a difference!!!

anyway i think cotto showed real heart in that he kept on fightin even when his dumbass cornermen decided to put vaseline up his nose!! vasquez borke his nose as well in a fight with marquez and he clearly affected him - he even quit the match up and decided to go for a rematch. cotto on the other hand stayed strong until the last few rounds.

so maybe th nose ws a big factor in cotto gassing at the end but there still remains that seed of doubt in my mind that cotto doesn't have great stamina which is strange because for a top 10 p4p fighter to have such an obvious and fatal flaw is very rare. imo the traing set up he has could be an obvious problem his trainer should have changed his routine after the last few fights so that cotto is focussing on more enudrance and stamina work.

Your not paying attention. i've stated one than once that i accept the loss and that he won fair and square,

but im saying, the busted nose was a FACTOR. not the cause.

do you want to know how this happened. Margarito broke his ****en nose! quit making excuses the nose didnt just break on its own margarito broke that ****!!

Exactly! It wasn't like Cotto came in with a broken nose or breathing problems. It's like getting popped in the eye causing a cut and then saying oh! If he wouldn't of gotten cut he might of, could of won the fight. It happened during the fight so really it is all irrelevant now. If I remember correctly this is what the sport is all about trying to **** each other up and that is exactly what happened to Cotto. No, Margarito did not escape unscathed but he did win the fight.

Will Cotto be back? Of course he will and only time will tell if he will be better or as good as before. It's great if Cotto is your boy but before you go out and say that he will be back stronger than before let him get back in the ring. I wish him all the luck in the world, he truly deserves it as a warrior, husband, father and just plain good human being.

Just watched the fight again. Margarito just wanted the fight more than Cotto. Cotto showed a big hart and a better chin than I thought from watching the fight again but when he views the fight on screen, I know he will kick himself in the ass! He can and will beat Margarito in #2. Give it to Margarito though. He deserves to be called champion. He won #1 fair and square.
