    If Cotto Beats Margarito in December, Will you give..

    Him full Credit? Or will partial credit for this victory go to Pacquiao in your opinion? There's still a fair chance Margarito will beat Cotto. I'll be in attendance and rooting for Cotto, but I'm just wondering if in the back of fans' minds will part of this victory belong to Pacquiao for beating Margarito silly?

    Either way if Cotto wins, he'll have his revenge. Even if Margarito didn't cheat I think he was very much disrespectful at times in how he handled the controversy and in general for how he has dealt with Cotto.

    One things for sure, this will be a fun one to watch. So NSB what say you??

    I would give him full credit. Cotto imo did just as much damage to Marg when they fought then Mosley and Pacquiao. If thing Cotto set Shane up who set Pac up who letting Cotto finish what he started.

    If Cotto wins they will be both somewhat damage fighters on a comeback. I would love to see this fight and hope Cotto destroys what I feel is an average fighter with a good chin. Cotto clearly was outboxing and landed crisp flush shots on Marg. Without the plaster Cotto outboxes and may even stop Marg.

        Depends on what Margarito shows up, at this point it's hard to tell where Marg is at in his career after the Pac beating. If Marg looks nothing like himself then partial credit must go to Pac for softening him up. Then again, if it's the same old Marg and Cotto has improved greatly since getting together with Steward and schools Marg, then more all credit to Cotto.

        I expect another war, but honestly if Marg has anything left then I see him taking the win again. Cotto is too easy to hit.

              What he said. If margs doesnt look like his normal self than partial but if its a another war and cotto pulls it out then he gets full credit for it.

                  Because Margarito was beaten so badly it's somewhat of a shock to most that he's even getting the green light to fight again. The broken orbital bone and potential loss of vision is IMO an above average ass whooping.

                    This is true, Cotto receieved a pretty brutal whooping himself. Really hard to see this going the distance..

                    People like throwing around labels like so and so is damaged goods or calling someone ruined. However, I think there's a decent chance Pacquiao gave Margarito the sort of beat down that actually does take a toll on a fighter's body. It's the reason corner's throw in a towel to fight again another day. Imo Margarito needed that pretty bad that day.

                    I know Cotto looked very bad after his fight with Pacquiao too, but I really think his face mashes up in a big way when he takes damage. Moreso than a guy like Margarito who literally was taking flush power punches in the double digits every single round.
