Comments Thread For: Margarito Plans To Press Miguel Cotto For Year-End Trilogy

[Catrin]

I hope you're not a salesman in real life because that's not much of a pitch for Cotto-Margarito III.

I'm sure I would watch it, but it would be a very guilty pleasure that I wouldn't brag about. They are just too far apart right now in terms of skill level and what each has left in the tank. I would also bet that Marg's punch resistance isn't what it used to be, so there's very little chance that he could pose a meaningful threat to Cotto now (though we'll know more after Carson Jones). No glory for Cotto even if he obliterates Margarito.

Sadistic match-up -- nothing more.

than it should be easy money for cotto!
who is he going to fight that will give him a great payday with out the beating!!!! I don't want to see Cotto go out like that! he got nothing to prove! this is real bad blood and we all know true rivalry sales!!!! although passed their prime! (both) it is unfinished business! I bet with a great undercard this could be a PPV event!!!! come on now! the greatest rivalry in BOXING! P.R. vs MEXICO!!!!!
Sales...? LOL

Lol @ those who think Margacheato was about to come on strong and beat Cotto in their rematch.

The round right before they stopped it was one of Cotto's best rounds of the fight. He was blasting Margacheato with left hooks in that round. You recall Jim Lampley in that 9th round, "Cotto lands a left hook and another left hook!" Lol

Before round 10 could start and before they stopped the fight I saw the look in Cotto's eyes and face that said there is no way that I'm going to lose this fight.

Lol, the rematch was not even remotely close and Margacheato gave no indication that he was on the verge of winning, Margacheato was completely outclassed in the rematch. He had "zero" chance at winning that fight. Lol

Exactly bro. Cotto was snapping his head back with each shot. My brother said the same thing about cottos look right before round 10 you could see cotto was like no matter what ima win this. He wasnt even hurt in this fight either and no where near as tired as in first one when he had the broken nose. Even the Kamagai fight he looked way more tired than he looked in the 2nd cheato fight.

Talking about Kamegai.

I would like to see Kamegai vs. Margacheato.

Kamegai would retire Margacheato imo. I could definitely see Kamegai putting it on Margacheato at this stage of their careers.

What do you think happens in a fight between Kamegai and Margacheato right now?

So we're just going to make sh#t up. The man ended up on his knee and waited for the ref to stop the fight.

Watch the fight again, Cotto took a knee, the corner threw in the towel, then the ref stopped the fight. Thats exactly what happened. You can watch the fight on you tube. Maybe eat some almonds, I heard that helps people with bad memory.

the taking a knee part is why his corner threw in the towel!!!! that was cotto's way of saying he's done. his corner didnt want to have to wait for cotto to say stop the fight, because cotto would have gotten a lot more backlash had he come out and say stop the fight.

[KnickTillDeaTh]

Listen to the Face Off for the second fight.

Cotto himself admitted he quit so he didn't leave his kids without a father.

Nope, you are a liar buddy. Cotto said he's not willing to die in the ring because of his family, that was in response to Max who was responding to Margarito saying he wont lose because he's ready to die in the ring, which was Margaritos response to Max's question about damaging his eye permanently. C'mon bro stop trying to change history, especially when it's all on tape.

Don't matter, point is he kept getting up and trying till the towel was thrown in, and no matter how much you and these other haters try, you can't take that away from the man

I'm not even debating if his corner threw in the towel. Whether they did or not Cotto quit! Did he even complain about the stoppage? The fact that you would put a link of an article titled "Margarito Pummels Title Out of Cotto" as your evidence shows how delusional you are about what actually happened.

Nobody is dis*****g what happened. What is being disputed is whether or not Cotto quit. Did Cotto keep trying, yes, did he take a knee and get up yes, was the fight stopped because Cotto didn't get up no. The fight was stopped because his corner threw in the towel. These are facts, it doesn't matter how much you try to distort them, they are still facts. Anything else beyond these facts is nothing but conjecture and frankly hate

By the way it was you who said I was making schit up. You said Cotto took a knee and waited for the ref to stop the fight, which was wrong, now you're changing your argument.
