Margarito RUINED Cottos career

[Benncollinsaad]

This is what I said in another thread.



Sad watching Cotto's HL. He was improved in the Margarito fight, he has been on the decline since. I remember watching his fight against Shane, stunned at how he vastly improved and saying to myself, "If this improvement keeps up, he may actally beat Floyd".

One thing I can guarantee you: he'll do a lot better against Floyd than Marquez did! If Floyd ever gets enough guts to fight him that is.

It's too early to say his career's been ruined. He's won both fights since. He didn't look great against Clottey but who would?

Thats true. Clottey is a major talent. He can beat Mosley and give Mayweather a run for his money. Ha, that was a non-intentional pun. Money...getit?

I've thought about this before, but when you come to think of it. After his tune-up fight, he could have taken an easier fight if his confidence was really that rocked, yet he took on Clottey, who is one tough mofo at that... I think he's alright, and if he beats Pac, he's probably bound to get better. I think he needs a change on his corner though...

Incorrect, Margarito RUINED his own career
He's probably working in a Taco Bell somewhere.

total agree margarito destroy cotto´s carrear

[JBell11]

Ruin career? I don't think that is accurate imo...consider the last two fights...Jennings - he knocked out, and Clottey decisioned. Again Clottey is no push over. "Ruined career "suggests that he no longer is a top ww, and that he loses every fight he gets into...

I'm sure Cotto has changed the way he's fought, after Margo fight, i'm sure I'd change the way I fight too...it's called learning from your mistakes. Like someone else said Clottey will make anyone look bad. The real test is his next fight...we will see.

I ****ing hate Margacheato for that too. He damaged Cotto with that plaster man he aint the same anymore. I don't think he will be in the ring much longer either. He will probably retire in 2012 when he can't beat the top dudes in his division anymore.

Gave Cotto such a beating with the plaster that Cotto has never been the same since then.

Cotto would still be the destroyer he once was right now if it weren't for Marg. He'd have had an easier time against Clottey. His sales would be better and he would have made tons more money if it weren't for Marg.

Cotto lost

-Fans (some casual ones)
-Money (He doesn't sell AS GOOD as he used to because he's not ultra destructive anymore)
- Confidence
- Performance
- His prime

Ughhhh its terrible. I can put more crap on that list above but I'm too lazy to write all the other things Cotto may have lost after Margarito screwed him over.

The worst part is, he can't sue. He can't get Margarito to give him back what Marg has stolen from him. He'll just have to live with the fact that some **** stole something from his entire boxing career and can't get it back.

Get out of here with that bull****, there was no plaster that night, it was just a straight up beating and the stronger most determined man won. As far of Cotto being ruined, he did win his last two fights after the massacre Dr. Doom put on that boy didn't he? albeit he looked like **** against Clottey and Jennings was just a bum ready to be scarified. I think Cotto's confidence and psyche has been shattered a bit but he's still a warrior and if there is one thing that can't be denied is that this man has taken the best names at Welter (except for PWill) and always comes in ready to fight and that's admirable in a fighter.

He did damage Cotto's career. Cotto fights differently nowadays. He doesn't pressure as much and he ran for the later part of the fight against Clottey. He also looks like he's a bit afraid to take a punch. Saying all that, he is still one of the top Welterweights and Clottey is no push over.
