Comments Thread For: When Antonio Margarito rocked Miguel Cotto

[MalevolentBite]

Ok so I’ll just ask you again since you’ve not answered it;

How could Cotto possibly get that fight changed to a no contest?

I don’t care about “most sports” this is boxing, it’s not a team sport for starters. Are you aware of how the sport of boxing works and it’s rules? It doesn’t seem that you are.

Its beyond reasonable doubt. Thats why he couldn't win major fights after he got exposed cheating lol.

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.

I thought Margo was loaded in that fight too and before that. He nearly rip an ear off of some fighter. Cintron has said that no one has hit him as hard as Margarito hit him.

I know man. People like IronDanHamza are the problem. That man was cheating. Once he got exposed he never beaten another high level fighter.

Track and field or cycling aren't team sports either lol. Wtf. Where are you from ? You from England ? But you also support canelo who tested postive and now Munguia tested postive. Lets see if they over turn that win since boxing is a clean sport.

Although there was no proof of Maragarito cheating vs Cotto in the first fight, I do remember wondering how he was busting up Miguel's face so badly. Cotto himself look bewildered at Antonio's "power".

Thank you. He never beat another top level fighter after that Mosley fight. The hand wraps mentally gave him power. He really thought he was green lantern. I felt so bad for cotto but I enjoyed Mosley beating him down like a dog.

Cotto is a natural jww while Margarito a natural ww

Natural welterweights are some of the hardest hitting fighters in boxing

I don’t know, man. Where would I rather be?

$8 million fighting Margarito with a cloud over his career at the time (2006) ?

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.

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…
