There has never been a fighter exposed badly as Cotto was against Margarito

[Ryn0]

Not even close. Most true boxing fans knew that Calzaghe would own the untested and unskilled Lacy.

In Cotto/Marg though Cotto was considered the far greater and undefeated fighter and he got marauded.

Apparently you have the memory of a goldfish, almost EVERYONE had Lacy to win. The Boxingscene team had a prediction going and out of something like 20 only two picked Joe. Lacy was meant to demolish him in style, Joe had come off bad performance whereas Lacy was the new "Tyson"

In retrospect we all know Lacy was never elite and never regained his old form after the fight, but look it up even in Britain that odds were something like 3/1 in Lacys favour.

Nah, even most "experts" picked Lacy to KO Joe.

Err no just no.

I think 4 out of 30 boxing writers picked Lacy to win. **** i remember someone linking the threads around that time, and noone was picking Cal apart from white supremesists with an agenda.

It was actually Margarito who was exposed a few months later as a cheater. Cotto's stock went up on how great his chin is even when bricks are being hurled at you.

Cosign. Only thing Cotto was exposed of is having heart and willing to take on all comers. Unlike Floyd ..who was recently exposed as being a legit WW....

The Cotto hype before the fight was immense. No one gave Margarito a chance, there was many predictions of a Cotto KO. The Ricans fans were already celebrating before the fight even happened. They created threads like “Cotto: I will never lose to a Mexican, “How will you celebrate the Cotto win” and so on.

They labelled Margarito as a one dimensional bum.They claim if Williams could beat Margarito. Cotto would do it easily.

HBO were on Cotto’s nuts like no tomorrow. Famous quotes like “Cotto breaks Men” “Cotto doesn’t beat you, he beats you up”. They even had the audacity to call Cotto a warrior.
This was a major fight outside MSG garden were Cotto is known to get gifts. This time it was on the wild west.

The fight was funny. Cotto came into the fight in a warrior mentality. He tried to outslug Maragrito. The consequences were brutal.

Margarito single handily send Puerto Rico in a state of mounring. He forced their beloved princess to take not one knee BUT TWO. Not only was that humiliating. Cotto willingly took those knees. In front of fellow countrymen who’s hope and lives rest on Miguel Cotto. When Cotto walked away from that ring, not only did he leave his 0 behind but his dignity and respect

Actually I think everyone realized that Margarito would probably be Cotto's toughest opponent. The odds were also around -150 Cotto so it was a fairly evenly matched fight.
