Comments Thread For: Cotto-Margarito II: Fight Back On? 10/1 and 12/3 on Hold

1) Arum is a promoter. His job is put the marketable matches that make the most money for all parties involved. He's doing that. He's the best at it. Big deal. Go hate free business practices in Europe, not here where it still (barely) exists.

2) Cotto's last three fights were against decent competition to keep him "warm" and get him winning again. In his fights with Margarito and Pacquiao, he had good starts only to see both sets of plans collapse in similar fashion. He needed to rebuild a little confidence before taking another big-ticket fight.

I think Arum plans to have Cotto fight Chavez, tentatively, but will keep this fight on the burner just in case. Hopefully, Cotto beats Chavez, gets his revenge against Cheato in early 2012, and then lands one more major ticket in 2012 against Floyd, Pac, or even Sergio (the latter likely moving to middle, however).

LMAO he's been bum fighting and still looking terrible...**** Jr Margorito or Mosley rematch is acceptable, he's had 2 straight easy fights.

The way Cotto was tagging Margs face up in the first fight it would only be a matter of time before Margs would go blind if Cotto targets his face again.. As much of a scumbag Margs is for trying to load up i still do believe in human decency.. This cant be good for Margs...

WOW! PPV... I'm not paying for that.

This fight will not go the distance. Robert Garcia learned his lesson with Manny and he will not allow his man to absorb further punishment. Ironically enough, I think Margs style will be all wrong for this rematch unless he learns to be more of a boxer/puncher and not some slow, flat footed bufoon. Cotto's jab will zero in on that eye for rounds on end and devour it from the socket. Junito... FINISH HIM!!!
