    Cotto is a natural jww while Margarito a natural ww

    Natural welterweights are some of the hardest hitting fighters in boxing

      Or buy out your contract for $750,000 and go on to make somewhere in the neighborhood of half a billion dollars over the next 10-12 years while still fighting the grand majority people were criticizing him for not facing?

      Shoot, give me Option B all day. $8 million is peanuts. He bet on himself, and he recouped nearly a hundred fold.
      There was no cloud in 2006. The Mosley fight came in 2009.

      I'm not saying Mayweather ducked Margarito, I understand why he wanted to get away from Top Rank, but from a sporting perspective it's still a fight I would like to have seen.

        How in the flying fuck does that make me the problem?

        I’m in here clearly condemning Margarito dumbass.

          Ok? And? They aren’t boxing and boxing doesn’t work like that. It’s a fight by fight basis.

          What are you even babbling on about now…

          Yes I am from England, do you have a point?

          I don’t “support” Canelo and I definitely don’t “support” Mungia where the fuck has Mungia come from?????? What a random fighter to add in to this conversation for no reason.

          In boxing, fights get overturned when they get caught cheating for THAT fight. Thats how it works, I don’t know if you’re aware of that or not. Because you can’t prove if they cheated in the other fights. So you asking why Cotto didn’t ask for his first fight with Margarito to be overturned was a painfully stupid question.

            You sound wild like boxing isn't corrupt like fighters are still not testing postive and still allowed to fight. You are proving my point this sport is rigged they ( boxing commission) probably paid cotto not to address it. All his wins needs removed.
            Well, firstly not it’s not.

            Secondly I have forgotten more about the depths of boxers using PEDs that you will ever know for the rest of your life.

            I am merely pointing out to you, because clearly you don’t even know, that within the realms of boxing and how this sport works that the question that you asked was galactically stupid.

              That’s fair. I would’ve liked to see it, too. I just mean in retrospect, if Margarito was caught cheating (and his career came into question…whether or not he actually did in other fights), I’m sure Floyd looked at that January 2009 debacle and said to himself, “God-damn, I’m glad it wasn’t me getting bricked.”

              We can only wonder…

                It wasnt ******. Anybody with common sense knew Margarito cheated in that fight. He was never same after he got exposed.

                So prove that one, you brits are something else. It makes sense now. No wonder America had to come over twice to bail yall out lol.

                    Let's see if Dan is another DJ. Let's see if he openly lies.

                    The brits used to have decently.

                      So what you are saying is that Naazim Richardson was a liar and Margacheato being banned for 12 months was an injustice and unfair and whatever watched on camera was just normal stuff?
