Miguel Cotto = Fernando Vargas

[Slyboots]

margo doesnt deserve the big fights anymore let alone get a rematch with cotto

I totally agree. Even Cotto himself has said that he doesn't want Margarito to make a single penny off of him.

Margacheato should just be straight up banned from the sport, that cheating rat ****.

One thing Cotto does not do is make excuses.
Vargas is a big excuse maker.

Isn't Evangelista back as Cotto's trainer? At least he was undefeated until the family fued, then his fight with margo.

[tredh]

Where the f@ck is all this Winky Wright is a hall of famer **** coming from!?!?!?!?

[one-Punch]

cotto can still fight pbf and rematch mosley. just cause he got whupped by pac doesn't mean he should retire.

no ****.. I still can't believe a good portion of people believe Cotto is shot just because he got beat by Marg and Pac. You win some. You loose some.

[mookiep]

I think Cotto should try and get a rematch Margarito at least to prove it was the wraps that was the cause of the loss.

i was against this at first. But now I think he should. Seriously. If he doesnt, he'll never know. It'll always haunt him.

First off this is a great board. But I thought I would post this because these guys are pretty much identical.

Here is the comparison

Fernando Vargas 1996 Olympian
Miguel Cotto 2000 Olympian

Both were young World Champions who entered the Top 10 Pound for Pound.

Both defeated future hall of fame fighters in close decision fights. Fernando Vargas vs Winky Wright. Miguel Cotto vs Shane Mosley.

Both had signature wins over former champions. Vargas over Ike Quartey, and Cotto over Zab Judah.

Both took severe beating in their 1st true super-fight. Vargas against Felix Trinidad, and Cotto against Antonio Margarito. Trinidad was later accused of illegally wrapping his hands, while Margarito was found trying to load his wraps. Both of which were discovered by ****m Richardson.

Both in their 2nd fight major super fight, took another great beating, Vargas at the hands of Oscar De La Hoya. Cotto against Manny Pacquiao. Both smaller fighters coming up in weight.

Now the question is where the does Cotto go from here. I am sure he will beat Yuri Foreman, but will he go the way of Vargas and lose his next major fight. In my opinion these 2 guys are almost identical.

nice career breakdown for both fighters

What's this about Vargas taking a great beating at the hands of De La Hoya? Has Jim Lampley's cheerleading convinced you that much? Truth is,that fight was even going into the last round.

that fight never made it to the last round vargas got stopped in the 11th

Cotto's first superfight was against Mosley not Magarito
He won convincingly too
