Cotto respects navarette because he has the same type of slashing uppercuts that margarito used to tenderize his face

why would you accuse navarette of being a cheater like that?

[archiemoore1]

I think navarette is clean. But as far as awkwardness, slashing hooks and uppercuts from long range, the angles of his punches, his chin and his workrate, and also the effect of his punches on his opponents, he is very margarito- like. I recall seeing margarito live on 3 occasions that i can remember vs.six heads lewis, vs. Hercules kyvelos i believe it was the dodge theater in arizona. The co-main event was rafael marquez vs. pete frissina. And i was at the margarito vs. cotto rematch at the garden. Despite the cheating, i have very fond memories of those fights that i will always remember.

I think iit's really good to see Puerto Ricans making Mexicans feel genuinely welcomed...I never really cared about the rivalry...it's not a racial thing, Mexicans and Puerto Ricans can learn so much from each other.

Puerto Rican fighters been losing alot of fights lately.

Namely:

Acosta
Machado
Pedraza
Rodriguez
Rojas
Verdejo
Velez
Martinez
Oquendo
Arroyo
Diaz
Lopez

Now they feel to adopt Navarrete and turn him into Puerto Rican.

They literally ran out of fighters and a couple of prospects left.

Navarette fights like Margarito with more foot movement
