Cotto wants out of Top Rank because he wants no part of Antonio Margarito again

[Lady Man]

god damn..stop this ****** ****..why would he fear a known cheater

because he could be packing metal plates underneath those gloves

[FLYBOY]

no. it's not because he is scared of the cheater. it's because of principle. top rank should have said yes it is the cheater's fault and he should be removed from the top rank roster. this is why cotto has beef with bob arum now. the cheater sucks so stop making threads on her. i call the cheater a her. cuz she uses loaded gloves to fight men. that *****.

Nope, Cotto is dissapointed in what Arum is trying to do and he believes that Margarito knew about the wraps which he probably did. He is dissapointed that they are trying to walk around the ban instead of taking it like a man like they should do. Margarito needs to pay the price... not trod around it, he will gain more respect taking the ban on the nose than trying to dodge it.

Cotto wants out because he doesn't trust Arum no more, and thinks Arum is completely in the wrong by crying controversy when Margarito was in the wrong and possible used the illegal substances against Cotto (though there is no proof), but Arum isn't listening to what Cotto has to say.

Cotto doesn't trust Arum anymore and is bitterly dissapointed and disgusted in how Arum is going about things, I think fair play to him for standing his ground and giving his honest opinion about the subject instead of backing down from his promoter... I think if he can switch from Top Rank to Golden Boy then that is an amazing move for him.

Margarito doesn't deserve another fight with Cotto after what he attempted to do to Mosley... he might have beaten Cotto the first time but what he attempted against Mosley was absolutely de****able and makes the sport look bad!

It is all down to one word which "FLYBOY" has said... PRINCIPLE, nothing more... nothing less.

Is he that afraid of Tony that he wants out of Arum's promotional company so that a rematch will be less likely? He knows Arum would be quick to make the rematch once Tony is granted his license. If Cotto goes to Golden Boy, there is probably no chance of a Cotto vs Margarito rematch ever taking place. Arum won't have that ****; he's a spiteful old man. If Cotto feels he was cheated, he should do everything in his power to get Tony back in the ring as soon as possible.

Cotto needs to man up and set it straight or he will be considered scared of Tony M. ! Dont hand us that ****,because Tony and his Camp disrespected boxing hes not good enough to fight him.... thats some ***** ass ****!!

[Pullcounter]

cotto still needs to beat margarito for vindication imho, not run away from the rematch.

[strugler]

So Margarito was caught cheating and Cotto is the one who needs to prove something? Let them fight after a year winner takes all no more excuse or third fight.

[MANGLER]

I think Cotto means it when he says he wants to fight him again after his ban is up. In the meantime, he's got unification fights to focus on this yr. If Arum don't get him at least 1 of those (likely Clottey since they're under the same banner), then he should walk, regardless of what his thoughts are on a Marg rematch.

cotto still needs to beat margarito for vindication imho, not run away from the rematch.

That's exactly what I'm thinking, and by running away from Top Rank, he's running away from Margarito!

[Great Afrikan]

i don't think Cotto's running away from the rematch, it's just a matter of principle. I mean Margarito brutalised him, the man has a right to still be mad.

[larr12]

cotto said that AFTER the year ban (and maybe lifetime if they find plaster on the wraps) he will fight margarito.

now is margarito that NEEDS cotto. not the other way. margarito was the one caught cheating and we don't know for how long he's been doing it. margarito is the one that needs to clear everything BUT he will no admit that he knew all the time. margarito is the one that needed illegal wraps to won the fight. margarito is the one that was beated up in his last two fights ( and believe me he's f2cked up for life). margarito is the one suspended for 1 year.

Thinking with my brain I wouldn't give him the rematch, thinking with my heart I'll beat the **** out of him for cheating.
