The Cottards have got me back to being a Margarito fan when I wasn't here for a while

[MOREBASS]

I don't allow opinions of others to sway my own on any fighter. That seems to be very common on these boards.


'Oh, I don't like _________ cause his fans are ******'


That makes no sense to me, and Boxingscene is just about the only place where you'll find anyone who doesn't like Manny Pacquiao or Miguel Cotto.

I actually don't like Cotto period. Of course his hardcore fans make my disdain for him increase. But I just can't bring myself to be a Cotto fan. Why is it that he is the only top Welter that never calls Floyd out? If that decision in the Cotto-Mosley fight would've went the right way, we would've gotten a Mayweather-Mosley fight because Shane even called Floyd's ass out after he got screwed in that fight. Cotto just said his usual lame line, "My promoter picks my fights for me". Even Emmanuel Steward seemed like he got frustrated about it at ringside in the aftermath of the Cotto-Gomez fight. My main beef with Cotto is his refusal to give Mosley a rematch out in Vegas where it should be, and the fact that he scavanges off left behind title belts. And after he does that, his fans claim that he can beat the fighter that left the title behind when we know that the fight will never happen.

[MOREBASS]

I hear ya man. You make some good points, but of all of the top active welterweights right now, Cotto has fought more of them than anyone else. You gotta give him credit for that.

Besides, I don't recall ever hearing Cotto call out anyone. I'm a Cotto fan because I enjoy watching his fights, and have for a few years now.

U poor little man to bad for you

Nothing else has to be said after this......

[Kevin Jesus]

You're not alone, I don't like Cotto cause of his fans too. MOREBASS, If you ask everyone that dislikes Cotto the majority will say it's because of his fans, Boxingscene or not.

They're too militant, they are biased to their race, and worse part of all they are delusional.

Some are cool, but most of them are ******s especially the one quoted in my sig.

That's right. I'm getting to the point of where I want to see Margarito back in action. Fuck it. To let everybody know, I was a Margarito fan at the time when he was putting in his work although infrequently due to things he had no control over like HBO wanting to ****block him for no reason other than his non-glossy record. I became an even bigger fan when he crushed HBO's Rican hype machine that Lampley referred to as a Puerto Rican Julio Caesar Chavez. I guess he didn't look the part in his fights against Mosley and Margarito and here recently Clottey. Where was his body punching?

The thing that made me quit being a fan of Margarito wasn't the fact he got caught with an illegal subtance in his gloves, but the fact that he adopted a me on top of the world attitude and he over valued himself and even went MIA and drug his feet in the Mosley negotiations and he was also unwilling to avenge his loss to Paul Williams and was calling out Manny Pacquiao at the same time. I think that he went into the fight with Mosley out of shape and looked for a last-ditch advantage and it's the first time that Capitello tried to pull something shady. I think Mosley would beat Margarito ten times out ten. I'm not denying that.

But that doesn't change the fact that I view Margarito's style as exciting and all out action, and the fact that the Cotto stans are constantly dwelling on plaster and not accepting the fact that Cotto got beaten at his own game (Body punching, close quarters combat. Cotto did that to his other opponents) is causing me to like the guy again all of a sudden. Why would Margarito constantly nail Cotto with body punches if he had loaded gloves? Can someone answer this for me. Resto landed nothing but head shots on Collins. And Vasquez's face in his third fight with Rafa Marquez looked a hell of a lot worse than Cotto's. Cotto stans are welcome to debate with me and others.

Who cares man lol. Margarito beat Cotto, end of story. Whether he used plaster or not will always be up for debate simply because he was caught prior to the fight after Cotto. Play a little role reversal and I guarantee you'd be crying, "Cotto is a disgrace to Boxing"

It ain't just Cotto fans who believe this either, some of the most reputable figures in Boxing have called Margarito a disgrace. How much more proof do you need to realize the chances of Margarito cheating prior are pretty high? You honestly believe Mosley was going to be his 1st time?

Naw, see that's where I disagree. People not on Boxingscene, that I know at least, could care less about how a fighter's fans carry themselves. People who aren't on Boxingscene and other boxing forums, aren't exposed to the ignorance of some fans, which probably has a lot to do with it as well.


Again, I have yet to see anyone to dislike a fighter for any other reason than the fighter themselves, whether it be the way he carries himself, or if they just don't find his fights entertaining.

I am sure it had to do with Cotto's fans, and nothing to do with you being a nationalist.
