We we keep hearing how Margarito has the mental edge but....

[Tha_Greatest]

I don't care what anyone says, Margarito DOES have a mental edge over Cotto going into this fight IMHO, Physically they are both at the same page but mentally I have Margarito ahead but that doesn't mean Cotto doesn't stand a chance, We would see how Cotto reacts when he sees Rito across the ring.

the underlined part is funny but true, lol, nyahahga

Cotto is shot.

Prime Cotto versus plasterless Margarito = Cotto win.

Now... I'm not sure. Margarito is a bit shot too, it seems.

[rorymac]

Cotto is the better boxer, but like in the last fight we will see that Marg's resilience plays a huge factor.

[bojangles1987]

Not at all. Margarito had lost before the Mosley fight, he knows how to deal with it. You know Margarito believes that he is the better fighter and he is Cotto's kryponite. Cotto is the one with the questions.

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

One thing I'm NOT worried about is Margaritos mental state. From talking to guys in the gym that have trained on the west coast and been in the gym with Marg, they all tell me the same thing, he's a ***in ANIMAL.

I have heard sparring partners say the dude is fearless. You hit him more than he hits you and you still lose the fight...lol

Marg don't give a *** and he is going to come forward and try to kill Cotto, literally. This is only speculation but it seems to me that Cotto is much more fragile mentally than Marg. Cotto is very serious all the time and when he does joke it seems forced for the cameras.

Marg just seems like the type of guy that you want by your side in a bar fight, because win or lose he's not going anywhere and he's going to go all out.

With all the talk of the scandal, the rematch talk, the pro PR crowd in Madison Square Garden, all the **** that is going to lead up to the fight, Marg is going to be more motivated and ready than he's ever been in his career.

He understands that this is it, this is his only shot in his boxing career. It's do or die time. Cotto better be in the same mind frame, because if he isn't it could be a long and brutal night.

[The Big Dunn]

I tend to think the guy who administered the a$$ whuppin has the mental edge over the guy who got his a$$ whipped. I mean if it wasn't for getting caught cheating before the mosley fight a lot of people would be pickin Marg.

[Hallaqsillaq]

all we keep hearing?

we ****ing SAW IT.

cotto was whooping marg's ass and marg didn't quit.

marg kept coming and cotto couldn't handle it.


and you want to talk about recent losses to pacquiao?

halfway through the pacquiao fight , cotto didn't want none anymore.

all cotto wanted was to survive.


marg no matter how badly pacquiao beat him up , kept on coming until in the end he couldn't anymore.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the differences in conditions for these fights Tua... 145 lbs vs 150 lbs pre-fight weight, one is a big 5'11" iron chinned mofo and the other is a former pudge 5'7".... It's only natural the bigger, badder Margarito could handle more punishment. Is a Yaris as safe as an E Class?
