Margarito vs Cotto

[eyeloveboxing]

If no one wants to fight Margarito, why don't Arum put Margarito vs Cotto on Sept 09th ??? they are both promoted by Top Ranks so it wouldn't be so difficult to put the matches up...

Do you guys think that Arum is protecting Cottos perfect records like he did to young DLH when he was with top rank?

How did he save him? DLH faced way better opponents then Cotto has faced at age 25.

because it would be too risky a fight for cotto's 1st time at welterweight.

DLH fought the best out there, so how was he being protected? They put him against Whitaker, Tito, Mosely, and a then very highly regarded Quartey

Read my post carefully.... I SAID YOUNG DLH! Look at he's record as superfeather, light and super lightweight... he didn't fight the best out there. Don't get me wrong, he did fight the elite fighters when he moved up to welterweight. Im a huge DLH fan, but I think he was little protected when he was at those smaller weight classes.

ARUM is trying to milk cotto for as long as he can..but i bet cotto loses his next fight or 2

[MR. V]

i would luv to see this fite happend. would be a straight out brawl.


ps. dino , damn mann i swear to god that pic in your avatar makes me want to throw up everytime i see it. yuck.

Arum is just managing his career carefully. Cotto is a good young fighter with a lot of potential. Therefore a fight against Margarito should be put off for at least 12 months. He should step up his competition but not against a really dangerous puncher after a jump up in weight. My fear is that if you put him in with Margarito, he could go the way of Vargas and become damaged goods. I see a lot of parallels between Cotto and Vargas. Both have an aggressive come forward style with good power, but both have average chins and are suceptible to being hit with big punches.

If they are both from TOP RANK then it's gonna be bad business pitting both your "future moneymaking" fighters together.
