    Reminds you of PRs thinking Cotto can beat Floyd at this point. But you guys know that, you guys want Cotto to get paid. Loving other people's money seems to be a thing with Floyd/Cotto's fanbase.

      Cotto aint no all time great, but he is a hall of famer


      Back then he didn't know how to pace himself and never had to box at such a fast pace with so much head and body movement


      Margarito can just flat out take a shot...how cotto looked in fight 1 that was the best Cotto ive seen....crisp combos and was elusive


      this fight reminded me a lot of Freitas vs Corrales....the better boxer and more talented boxer being broken down by the guy with less talent by will in spades...it happens in boxing

        Ninja please, Baldomir's workrate, chin, and punching power would have overwhelmed Margarito in the late rounds. Easy work for the lineal champ. Floyd chose the much tougher task fighting Baldomir.

          I never saw Margarito threaten Floyd. What was Floyd supposed to do really? He is sitting there signing autographs.

            Bull Feces when Margarito LEGITIMATELY beat Cotto to a pulp both Mayweather & Oscar took to the hills

            The Floyd - Baldy fight had fans walking out by the 8 th round that stunk the arena out

              Watch the video watch Mayweathers face he was terrified. All Margarito wanted was to ask Floyd why he wouldn't fight him. He didn't threaten him at all in fact he was very polite. That's no joke about Floyd messing his pants he hadn't got his goons to protect him & was afraid

                  Margarito would have pushed Floyd's shyt in. Floyd took the healthy route and retired. Baldomir's lineal title was a joke. He wasn't the best in the division. That's like calling Cotto the best at 160.

                    baldomir would still be champ if floyd hadn't taken him out. that guy was about to start a legendary run but floyd stopped him.
