    It's not easy to clinch with Margarito. Did anybody see Paul Williams do it? Exactly.

      yeah...

      but williams doesnt need to do it. because of his lengh and work rate... his style & body just fit perfect for not needing to clinch that much...


      its just different situations...

      still... ur right.. is just not easy to keep off or try to contain margos attack

          undeserving

          I be alone on this....
          but I don't think Cotto should get aother shot this quick at Marg., because didn't just lose to Marg. or get KO'd. He quit...
          Don't get me wrong, I think with a different game plan Cotto can win. (not moving striaght back, and cirlcing more.) But at the end of the day; He quit.
          Just my opinion....

            ...Now he wants to fight.
            Your boy Roy got put on his ass twice in a row and look at him now. Cotto took a knee because it was the smart thing to do. Why stay up and get hurt badly? He was thinking about the future. Take a knee, take a breath and hopefully finish the round. It just didn't happenned. That night Cotto didn't fight as he usually does. Didn't move as much and had his back to the ropes too much. I think that in a rematch it'll be a different story. Cotto by UD.

If he trains properly and comes back and excutes his game plan better then he did in July he defintely can win. there is no can't in boxing Buster Douglas showed me that in 1990. Will he win that is osmething that remians to be seena dn i will defintely tune in too find out.

                  Good post! I agree.

                      And he also needs to watch how effectively Floyd Mayweather clinched and stopped Jose Luis Castillo's inside work, all these tactics are what Miguel Cotto needs to beat Antonio Margarito.
                      That would be funny hehehehe. Certainly he can learn from Floyd (think everyone can) but to fight like Floyd you really have to be Floyd. Oscar and now Hatton will testify that.
