Comments Thread For: Steward: Cotto To Get Revenge on Margarito, Pacquiao

[imisupu]

People please don't get your hopes up that Pacman will rematch Cotto at 154 because we all know Pacquaio loves his opponents with extra starch so it would be at 147 and Cotto will drain himself and get KTFO again and that's just the truth!

Luck as in catchweights and Cotto fighting with a towel boy as his trainer.

Catchweights or not, Cotto was never going to beat him with that kind of game plan that he had. As i've said before, there is not one Boxer from 140-147 who can exchange punches with Manny and come out on top. It's not impossible, but logically speaking, it's hard to see anyone beating him at his own game.

pacducker is the worst ducker in boxing history if cotto looks tremendous against mayorga and margo then pacquiao will duck him or drain him to 147

I'm gonna keep it real. I like Cotto, no ****. Mad humble, talented and a warrior. But i don't see him getting the W's against Marg and DEF NOT Pac. We haven't really seen what Steward has done...I personally think Cotto goes back to his old habits. But we'll see in this fight with Mayorga. BTW i hope Cotto knocks this dude into another planet! "Payaso Nicaraguense" - the words of Cotto! haha! I would rather see Cotto - Berto. That'd be a fantastic fight! my opinion.

Well said. Cotto should be able to handle Mayorga easily. Margarito will be a tough fight ( especially at a higher weight class which in my opinion gives Margarito an edge ) Only way Cotto beats Margarito is by outboxing him and not going back to his old habits. Pacquiao is a totally different story. Pac will destroy Cotto again just like the first time he needs to stay away from Pac and he will.

Finally some sense in these threads, thanks guys couldn't have been said better!

he can beat mayorga and Margarito but to be honest not Pac...

if cotto knocks out maygoya and decisions margarito pac prolly wont fight him u know how thats goes. If hes not old/washed up/weightdrained or at a catchweight no fight.

[saguirre057]

No way Jotto will beat Margarito and especially not Pac-Man! Same results; as usual Steward is talking out of his ASS. Just like at Jermaine Taylor!

[Seleção No. 13]

I'm 50/50 on Margarito and Cotto at this point.

cotto could beat margarito but he should stay away from pac

I dont think it is out of the realm of possibilities for Cotto to beat Pac. To do so though he would need to demonstrate he has made the following changes:

The first one is easy, continue listening to Emmanuel Steward who it seems has decided to help push Cotto to his limits in terms of greatness. Team Cotto/Cotto's worst mistakes seemed to have come from having his relationship with Uncle E fall apart. This looked to cause a big shift to Cotto becoming more of a head hunter losing focus on the skills that took him to the top.

Number Two, Emmanuel seems to be really good at the jab as a basis for all offense and improving the right hand. Cotto needs to emphasize both. If he can do that and fight smart I see no reason he cant beat all the top guys...
