Margarito vs Cotto 2? Without the eye issue

[Brockton Lip]

I was there and Margarito was coming on and Cotto was tiring. It occurred later than it did in the first fight since this time Cotto was able to stay away more so it is difficult to tell. Without the eye damage from Pacquiao then Margarito may have been able to stop him again.

Don't think it mattered. Margarito was shot and Cotto fought a much smarter fight. It wasn't just his movement, it was little things like how he took Tony's uppercut away by planting his head on his chest every time Tony got inside.

Margarito won the fight that mattered imo. The rematch was no more than a consolation prize.

You mean the fight with the big asterisk next to it?

Its pretty obvious Cotto was tired and lucky Margarito had one eye. Margarito was pretty shot though, dont think he could of came from behind and stopped Cotto in the 2nd fight.

Smoger himself said in an interview he felt the tide was turning at the time the doctors stopped the fight.

Everyone knows Margarito's plaster in the 1st fight was completely legal.
Anyone who says otherwise is a hoola hoop eyed chicken neck looking jive turkey.

Margarito vs Cotto 2? Without the eye issue

I personally think Margarito would have stopped cotto in the rematch had the fight went on.

my question is had Margarito fought cotto before Pacquaio would Margarito have defeated cotto?

I agree Cotto was on the verge of taking another Knee

When I read a desperate post like this, I always check the location and 99% it is always a peasant.

in the first fight margarito had more leverage so plaster gloves were allowed. that's what you call winning a fight at the negotiating table. floyd style.
