Both Cintron & Clottey were also basically undefeated but all you guys are talking about is the Cotto fight. Thats not fair. I made a thread a week ago saying how the #1 thing I keep thinking about is when Margarito dropped Cintron with that body shot and then was badly taunting him by waving his arms for Cintron to get up. Then after the fight is stopped he immediatly runs over to Arum and begs him for the Cotto fight like he would kill him. I felt that was the biggest ***** move of all time if its true that he cheated. Talking smack like he really did something when he had bricks in his hands the whole time. There is no way your going to convince me that he didnt have something in his gloves against Cintron either.
After Margarito beat Cotto I made a thread saying how I think Margarito's chin is overrated because even though he's facing big punchers, none of them are comminting to the punch like they normaly do because there scared of his return fire. If he doesnt have that same power then those guys are fighting toe to toe alot more and those punches would then start to add up on Tony. Instead of punching going backwards, they would be digging in shots like Mosley did. I just feel like Cintron's big power shots may have gotten to Tony also if he didnt have the fear of Tony's power coming back. The same goes for Clottey. Clottey is so superior in talent to him otherwise.
Another guy that no one is talking about is Williams. Why not talk about him? Because he won? Dont forget that it was a close fight that Williams took alot of punishment in the later rounds and maybe its not a coincedence that he lost his next fight. There were even a thousand threads on here saying that Williams lost to Quinatana because Margarito took it out of him. That may actually be true. It may have took him a fight to recover from those plaster shots and then he killed Quinatana in the rematch. My whole point is that we cant just keep talking about Cotto just because he was the golden boy when these other fighters havent really lost to anyone else either. Cotto was a beast but its not like Margarito was a total scrub before that fight so I just dont buy that he would suddenly use the plaster for Cotto and not for his previous fights. I even think he had it when he killed Golden Johnson. Those shots didnt even seem that hard and it was only the 1st round but Johnson collapsed like he got hit by Tyson. All that in the 1st round from a guy who isnt a 1 punch KO artist?
