    Miguel Cotto Needs to MAN UP

    Speaking for myself. If I had a fight like that with a guy and now I suspected that the only reason he beat me was because he cheated, I would want to smash that guy and prove to the world that I'm the better man.

    A lot of people say that Margarito doesnt deserve the payday, to those people I say; this isnt about money, its about pride and redemption.

    Cotto can talk through the media all he wants, but his fans and boxing fans in general will always wonder why didn't clarify the situation in the ring.

      Cotto seems to fight whoever they put in front of him.
      Margs, Mosley, a bunch of guys at 140.

      He's definitely a man. and he has manned up and he's facing a man soon.

        He was already gonna rematch him before Marg got banned. Not many will question him for not doin it now, even after the suspension ends. I'd still luv too see a rematch myself, but I doubt it happens.

          Fandom is pretty ridiculous. When a guy is found loading his gloves and his fans are still trying to turn it around on the other fighter. It's pretty sad.

            Not accusing Cotto of anything. I think the guy's a badass, but if you are going to speak to the media about this then be prepared for questions about fighting Tony again.
            Otherwise drop it altogether. He knows that by taking this position people are going to talk about it.
            Well, here we are.

            Dont get me twisted, Miguel Cotto's awesome. So is Margarito, IMO.

              Margarito doesn't deserve that type of payday. I'd rather see Cotto give Mosley, Williams, and Berto a payday. Those guys earned it the right way and in my mind mean more. Although I would love to see Cotto beat the hell out of Margarito, I can understand why he wouldn't want to give Margarito the chance. Plus Margarito still needs to show that his whole career wasn't an illusion. We don't know how he'll bounce back from that ass whooping.

                Good point, Shane Mosley may have wrecked him for good. That was one of the worst asskickings I've seen in a while.

                  Margarito doesnt deserve the publicity. He doesnt deserve any attention or money. He doesnt deserve to be near a boxing ring. It's part of punishment. Marg wouldnt get liscened in PR either, and Cotto would be foolish to fight in Mexico.

                    Sure he does. The guy deserves to make a living. After his year suspension is up he can do whatever he wants. If he plays his cards right he'll get licensed again in the u.s.
