    Margarito got his ass kicked even if he did end up kicking Cottos ass aswell, I think Cotto may have softened up Margarito. Also, margs may have been cheating against Cotto who knows.

      Cotto_Margarito was a case of Cotto being ****y and not having a good game plan and he payed for it.(and ofcourse the plaster) but regardles Cotto fought the wrong fight period!!!
      I agree to an extent.

      I think Cotto underestimated the amount of punishment Margarito could take. He was getting caught in the first half of the fight but he just figured he was landing so much on Margarito that it wouldn't matter. If they fought again I think Cotto would box more and focus more on defence.

        I actually think that Cotto took more punishment against Mosley than Margarito did against Cotto, but that's just me.

          Probably. But Cotto needs only 2 things to KTFO Margarito, walk Forward and tie him occasionally!!!!!

          Simple as that!!!!!

            I don't know if its JUST you, but it certainly isn't me.

            I know Shane had his moments against Cotto but Cotto looked to me to be straight up beating Margarito up at times in their fight, particulalry in the first half of it.

                I'd like to see him implement a little more movement against Margarito. I think he would have won the first fight if he'd have done that.

                    I agree my man. I also believe that Mosley had no gameplan against Cotto. He seen that Corley, Zab, and Torres hurt Cotto. So he figured he would take Cotto out easily. So he suprised Mosley with his boxing skills when Shane thought it was going to be a brawl. I had Cotto winning 7-5. That was the best version of Cotto

                      I'm sorry I don't have your Rican sun glasses on, but I scored it for Sugar. And it mystifies me why this poll is so lop-sided. It is a legitimate and fair question, because people have always said and still do say that Cotto softened Margarito up for Mosley which I think is bull****. Cotto wasn't the only tough fight that Margarito had in his career. I thought he took more punishment in that fight against Antonio Diaz.
