Honest questions for the Cotto fans.

Marg is not my man, I am equally disgusted by his cheating.



This is the only adjustment I agree with. Good observation.

I meant no disrespect. I simply did not want to type his real name. I dislike margaresto so much that I cannot type the name without mocking it in some fashion. 'your man' was the most respectful way I could reference him.

There are no charger from the first fight, only allegations. Im one who firmly believes he cheated, but without proof.....

I don't think Cotto will lose this time around though. He is squarely the better fighter and won't be worn down and stopped this time. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if he stops Margarito this time. Interesting fight though as there are going to be psychological factors for both fighters.

I agree with the first part but I think Cotto won't win.

None taken, people think I'm pro Margarito because I'm Mexican, not true. I do like the guy as far as a fighter and his heart but I can't deny the obvious, he was caught cheating.

Whether or not he cheated against anyone else is up for debate but I was disappointed with his cheating.

Hit me up sometime before the fight and maybe we can make a wager. It will be an exciting fight regardless of who wins.

I used to hate Cotto, even after looses i realized he is still humble, I like the guy now.

If Marg wins I guess it just means he has Cotto's number and is a bad style for him but whether he used plaster in their 1st fight or not in my estimation will depend on how the fight plays out. I will have to watch and evaluate based on what takes place regardless of whoever wins.

I think Miguel will take this Marg is not as relentless now from what i have seen and I doubt can withstand the punches he took from Cotto in their 1st fight. I suspect that those shots he took speeded up his decline. Cotto can use learned tactics to beat Marg that don't necessarily require him to be in prime form or have the greatest ability while Marg's style is heavily dependent on physical attributes.

Even given my great disdain for Margarito i believe in Giving credit when credit is due.

That said, its still hard to erase blemishes from your past especially in Margs case when you attempt to load your gloves and your career is based on hitting people for a living. People will always remember the dirt you did...Look at Pete Rose who had over 4000 career hits and all people really remember is he bet on baseball.

I dont think Cotto is done at all and seems to me to have rebounded very well. And i think its its good ppl think Margarito still has something left which i think makes this fight somewhat of an even playing field.

I still think Cotto is gonna is gonna win this time though. I dont see him getting hit so much or getting caught on the ropes as much either. I think some of his defensive liabilities have been corrected and his cardio and endurance have greatly improved.

Margarito on the hand is not as dynamic and is incapable of changing his style from what ive seen and i suspect he will enter the ring looking for the same fight but will be surprised.. We shall see though of course.

If Margo beats him again, you would have to think Margo just has his number, cause Cotto wont fight Margo the way he fought him the first fight, Manny Steward wont allow him to.

Manny Steward knows that you cant afford to keep backing up and surrender the momentum to someone like Margo, as he becomes too relentless on the front foot, as Steward has said as much before, and that is why they will do what they did to Mayorga, which is to keep Margo turning in the middle of the ring, stick the jab on him, utilize the straight punches up the middle, whilst ****ing his body to slow him down.

Cotto will establish his respect from the get go in the rematch. Cotto hit Margo before, but he was always landing when his weight was on his backfoot, this time, cause he will fight from the center ring, he will have the leverage for his power, to keep Margo honest, and the movement will offset Margo, as will the Boxing skills, which will disorganize Margo to give Cotto more time to move before Margo answers back.

Cotto is still a great boxer with a great jab, footwork and body punching ability but he looks slow and weak at 154

If he beats him, it still won't take away my thought of Margo cheating the first time. It will all depend on how he does. IF, he destroys Cotto again the way he did, then I can give him props for the first time. Now I have a question for the MARGO stans; what will you say when Cotto stops margo this time? out of the two the one that has taken severe damage and shouldn't fight any more is Margo since Cotto has been fine for a while.

With that said, put your points up and bet me. I got Cotto b!tches...
