Miguel Cotto vs. Antonio Margarito II

[AllEyesOpen]

I take it you've seen the Mosley fight? He started pressuring and then he started to move and counterpunch effectively midfight.

This was 2 skilled boxers trying to outbox each other, Cotto had better timeing then Mosley but was still pressuring. You make a very good point though, I had forgotten about the Mosley fight.

So you are telling me Clottey punches harder than cement boy? Not sure where you are getting that from because Clottey dosen't have a KO in 4 years (facing crap competition) so he most defenetly dosen't have more power than Margacheato.

Why didnt Tony's plaster effect Clottey and Williams.?????????????

Clottey didn't even look like he had been in a fight.

But

Cotto FOLDED like Japanese origami..

Hmmmm

Maybe they have more heart and better defense.

If this fight gets made and Miguel Cotto wins either by KO or UD, would you give Miguel Cotto credit for the win or say that Margarito was damaged goods from the Mosley fight?

Yes... Cotto would get the credit..........No Excuses...

[Spacey1991]

I would give him credit for redeeming himself, and lots of it...

I think it has alot more to do with the fact(as you had stated in your last post) that Margarito throws alot more punches, if Margarito had plaster against Cotto and landed 270 punches, all but 30 power punches then Cotto should be dead. But as I was saying when it comes to one punch power, it seems Clottey puts a little more pop in it, not much mind you, but a little.

damaged goods from the Mosley fight. but if he fight after cotto a good fight with a repetable fighter I give credit

[prorican21]

he should, but he wont because he never gets it he only gets it from the real ppl who knows the sport

It makes sense that he started loading after the Williams defeat, in which case only Johnson, Cintron and Cotto would have been the victims.

I would give Cotto full credit for that win. Of course, you'll get the typical hater rants about how it's only because, Mosley laid out the blue print, or how he broke Margarito's aura of invincibility, and therefor, he is damaged. Some will remain reluctant to give him credit unless Cotto wins in spectacular fashion. Even then, he'll get hate just for the sake, it's unavoidable.
