Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto Says Castillo Possible, Margarito is Not

[Animalistic 5.0]

Castillo in Febuary and then Collazo for the Rican Day Parade. Makes sense to me

Cotto return fight is in june.

I personally think Cotto is shooked. He'd rather fight a heavyweight than get in the ring with Margarito again.

The solution to Cotto's complaints is simple.....

WINNER TAKES THE PURSE!!

There goes the excuse that he doesn't want to give Margarito another Payday.

Let's hear the other excuses his PR fans come up with.

Move on dude because Margarito is getting nothing from Cotto. And I mean nothing.

The weight had nothing to do with it. Physically, Cotto was as strong as ever. In fact, I've never seen him look in better physical condition. An extra two pounds would not be the differences between winning and losing.


"Its no concern of mine whether it is 145 pounds or not," Cotto said.

"That is the usual weight that we cut down to for the weigh in, and in the ring—on fight night—I will go up eight to 10 pounds, so actually during the fight I will weigh around 155," stated Cotto.

He didn't look strong as ever. He looked skinnier than usual and weight drained.

Plus he was shot.

Cuz' of Margarito.

He really shouldn't fight Margarito again anyway. He would get beaten up so badly the second time around now. After the first fight I always thought that if they had a rematch Cotto would change some things and he would be able to win it easily, by clinching, sticking more and turning in circles rather than moving straight back all the time, not wasting so much energy moving all the time, putting less on his punches and going for speed instead of power, using his jab more and staying way off the ropes.

Sadly for Cotto, he runs his own training and nothing has been fixed at all by anyone and, in fact, he has actually gotten worse since the Margarito fight and does all the ****** stuff he did in that fight even more now.

I just don't get him. He could have been much better than he was but because he runs his own training he doesn't have anyone in a position to fix all the mistakes he makes in training and he makes a hell of a lot of foolish mistakes that should be picked up on, but no one is willing to do it properly over there obviously.

One other thing is the way he trains for his intensity in camp. Maybe he goes hard in sparring but every single training session I've seen of him doing all training apart from sparring, he goes at half pace. You fight the way you train and if you train harder and faster, you fight harder and faster. Cotto trains badly, and he doesn't train for intensity and anaerobic stamina, which is why he gasses so badly. For a guy at the top level he probably has some of the worst training for any boxer today.

winner takes purse? When was the last time you saw a winner take purse match? this ain't WWE dude. Cotto is going to give nothing and I mean nothing. Not a rematch, nothing. Margarito is a nobody in the boxing world and it would be a waste of time to promote a rematch with a cheater when fights with bigger names can happen.

Castillo? That guy was pac's sparring partner.......come on miguel pick someone a little bit tougher....

[bojangles1987]

I'd rather Cotto take a year or two off getting his mind right then fight bums trying to get his confidence back. Really, Castillo?

[blackops]

I understand the revenge factor but why would Cotto provide MargaCHEATo with another pay day? MargaCHEATo shouldn't be allowed another pay day in professional boxing at all and Jose Luis Castillo? This bum is soo undisciplined he cheated himself out of a pay day by not making weight one of the last times he was scheduled to fight. Come on Cotto you can do better than that bum. Why not a rematch with Clottey?

[TOBYLEE1]

Cotto still has skills to box but with that weak corner he is gonna take another beating. He really needs a good trainer and an winnable fight so he can work himself back into contention. Even though I think Margo shouldn't make another payday in reality it is one of the sure money fights for Cotto right now. Controversy sells and would be no different for this fight, even if you disagree and the fight happens you wouldn't be able not to watch
