    cotto never took a step forward and try to put the hurt on margarito
    He didn't exactly fight defensive. To me he did a little of the opposite, he gave Margarito different angles and then punched from there. If he fought more defense oriented, I would think that means he would need to be on his bike boxing with one punch at a time, which he did not do.

        cotto ended up on his knees begging margarito to stop, he couldnt even fight to the end like a true warrior
        Its ok... he lost and it was a good performance from Margarito and it was a good idea for him to take a knee... any fighter who has regard for his health and safety would have taken a knee.

        Margarito has still lost to PW.... Now he refuses to rematch the last guy who beat him.. Is that what "warriors" do?

          He is skilled enough, I still think his conditioning was the problem with him not being able to last. That and Margarito's body shots.

            hey id like to see your boy miguel quitto asking for a rematch, lol he probably still has nightmares about margarito the man who ended his hype and made his wife and kids cry
            and margarito is unfiying the welterweight belts he will eventually fight williams the clottey fight is also very important since a lot of ignorant folks thought clottey only lost because of his hand injuries

              He mentioned a rematch down the line & seriously Margarito would probably look down on half of **** you guys say.

                like another poster said it would be life threatening for cotto to take another fight against margarito
                specially cuz in the first fight he fought extremely defensive he never took a step forward he was always running and countering he played it very safe
                it still didnt stop margarito from destroying him
                It would be pointless to have the rematch.

                  yeah ur right he was always very humble never talking ****
                  that comment "if he runs ima knock him out in 8" was never really made by him
                  but in order to get your point across u have to go to the extreme there is no room for mild comments on boxing scene

                    Man ya talking about Cotto being defensive? Yet the man landed more than Tony? Because he didnt come forward? How could he? He was being pressured all night long, and if he did attempt to move forward, he would be forced to fight. Cotto took alot of damage while moving back and countering.. he was landing, but so was Tony. I think Cotto would've had a better chance if he took risks trading in the center of the ring. Tony has power, but mostly lands big shots while people are on the ropes.

                    I mean seriously, ya people on these forums never stop. This is Cotto's first defeat, ok. He still has hope to return. If anyone is in a life threatening state it would be Tony. Defending with your face most of time will not do you good. Yea he can take a punch, but he also took alot of damage in the fight.

                    And talking about fighters finishing fights on their feet, as I recalled I think Cotto did finish on his feet. He was never knocked out. He did a smart choice. Only people talking about this **** are the Tony fans. It gets annoying, and its getting old. There is a day every fighter will say "No mas"
