Am the only one that is not interested in Cotto-Tony II?

[BennyST]

I don't know what it is, but I'm just not even remotely interested in seeing those two guys fight again. Anyone share these sentiments?

Well, it's pretty typical that when two guys shave shown their best to be past them, people don't want to see them fight when they know that their next one will not be anything as close to their initial battle. The passion has gone, the fire has gone, the deter,inaction and need for battle and to win has gone.

People will always watch a fight with 'names' in it, but it's like seeing Duran/Leonard III. A ridiculous, pale comparison to the fight they had in their primes. I think Margarito is much more shot than Cotto, but Cotto just isn't great to begin with (he's good, just not great) so who knows....

But yes, I'm not that interested. It might be good, but it's difficult to tell. There are many better fights on.

This is just plain ******. If Cotto couldn't hurt Marg there is no way Floyd would have. Floyd is excellent but the guy isn't going to avoid 100 punches each round as Margarito would have thrown. He may have landed 60 or 70% of his punches, Floyd would I mean, but Marg would just be an unstoppable freight train. Mayweather has a terrible poker face, he tells everyone who would have given him problems by simply not fighting them, its that simple.

As for the fight, TS must only like to watch boring ass fights. You're more excited for Ward/Froch and Mayweather/Ortiz, I guess you have insomnia and looking for a cure? Ward is going to stink the joint out by just holding and landing a massive amount of headbutts. Mayweather/Ortiz is simply going to be a one sided snoozefest with Floyd claiming he is the best in the world because he beat a guy whose only had one twelve round fight in his career. I don't get why people have to find a fight exciting or must see because its to prove who is the best P4P. The Gatti/Ward fights, Castillo/Corrales fights were nothing of the sort yet those are far more memorable than Floyd vs anyone and Manny vs Margarito/JMM. Its the biggest genuine grudge match of my lifetime and the first fight was a brutal slugfest.

You have no idea do you?

You sir are an idiot. Name me the last guy to throw 100 punches in a round against Mayweather. I'll wait.

[V.WEBB]

No, but it perfectly understandable coming from an fangirl who is more Mayweather cheerleader than boxing fan.

Translation: I'm still mad at what Tony did to Cotto in 2008.

oh the irony.

Tell me about it.

Good post Benny.

[AllEyesOpen]

Honestly, the most electrifying build up, and most satisfying main event i've seen in recent years was Marg/Cotto I, so no i don't agree with you.

They might not the beast they were when they first fought, but i still feel that Marg & Cotto make for a some intense action and a good fight based on style alone.

I feel you. I know it's almost meaningless at this point, both fighters are on the decline, but i wouldn't really be interested in seeing either fight anyone other then each other.

Just my opinion.

Floyds never been in the ring with anyone who would throw that many. Which is exactly the reason he avoided Marg to fight Baldomir.

So Gatti/Ward III wasn't as good as Gatti/Ward I? Please, for every bad triology/rematch there are just as many solid ones. I'm not saying this time will be as good as the first, it actually can't be if Cotto wants to win but the sheer emotion involved in this fight will make for great atmosphere.

[gauze]

i'll watch since i pretty much watch all boxing. not very interested though.

I think this is where conquering, the TS, is as well.

[V.WEBB]

So ummmmm yea. This has definitely changed. Given all of the extra drama. I got Cotto to stop Tony.
