Why is everybody writing off Miguel Cotto?

[adrsan84]

Not remotely competitive? Cotto won the first five or six rounds. He also was landing bombs on Tony better than just about anybody has throughout the fight.

That fight was very competitive, the issue is more than Tony seems to do okay with exchanges and a brutal fight, while Cotto was worn down by it.

Cotto will be back for sure the guy is a Warrior.

dont know i think both fighters lost something in that fight..margo might have lost some punch resistance..cotto or margo most likely wont be the same

My guess is that if either of the two are messed up it's most likely Cotto. The guy took the beating of a life time by the end of that fight. Margo on the other hand took a lot of punches but was never really hurt in the fight because of the amazing beard on him. My guess is he'll be perfectly fine and in tip top shape by the time the Mosley fight rolls around.

For all we know, he could avenge his loss and we could have a great welterweight triology. And 30 years from now, Margarito/Cotto will be featured on HBO's Legendary Nights.

That's how great fighters are made, making each other great from triologies.

Unless you're Roy Jones or Mayweather, and you go on to win a gozillion multi titles, dominating 90% of your opponents.

maybe it has something to do w/ him quitting???

Cotto Margarito was not remotely competitive.

What? Did you watch the first 6 rounds?

[S.G.]

i don't even particularly like Cotto and think it's ridiculous how quick some people are to just dismiss him and forget about him after 1 loss (which he has a very good chance of avenging imo)

Cotto Margarito was not remotely competitive.

Yeah and Newark Nj is the safest city in NJ....lol
You need to leave that crack alone...if Im wrong sorry, But you should really lay off the heroin....angel dust or whatever drug that got you fried. Your statement is that of Pookie the crackhead(Chris Rock) in New Jack City. Just say no.

[Addition]

I haven't written him off, I think he can beat Marg in a rematch.

[ACHlLLES]

Yes, everybody is writting him off.. How is everybody writting Cotto off when I'm not? LOL, lots of people aren't. He lost a close tough battle to Margarito. Of course he is capable of beating Margarito.

[Eric Holder]

I don't know if he's got the style to beat Tony

but I didn't write the guy off I think he's the second best welter weight right now and still top 10 p4p
