Thread: Cotto vs Margarito

According to ESPN.com schedule.This is supposed to go on July 26.What do you guys think ?

I recon this will be a close one, should be one of the fights of the year imo, I got a feeling though Margarito might pull this one off...

Not a chance, cotto has just too much for me even to contemplate margarito nicking a decision.

As mentioned on a previous thread i see this going the whole 12rounds and being one of the fights of the year, antonio doesnt know when to quit and can also pack a punch, as long as he is prepared to walk through cottos punches i give him every chance of running it close.

still just cant see past a unanimous decision for miguel!!

I hope that after this fight, Mayweather recognizes the fact that he will be seen as a total coward if he won't fight Cotto next.

Yeah. I see it a being a tough fight for both, but I think Cotto will get the decision by a 3 or 4 rounds.

Is Probably that this fight could finish in 12 rounds , but it just if Margarito take use his reach and fight with some technicals skills of boxing and improve his defense , but contrary of this could happen to him the same as Cesar Bazan , Maussa , Sosa , Pinto , Abduleave and others that went with some skills as Margarito.............

Let's go Cotto!

About a year ago I would have said Cotto with ease.Lately with Margarito's last performance I would say Margarito has the upper hand.He hasn't been down that I could think of,He takes one helluva shot,and does usually throw alot of good hard punches.Cotto to me was hurt against Mosley and down against lesser oppenents.Granted it was because he struggled to make weight,but Corley.In theory Cotto, but a a big welterweight and decent puncher in Margarito who throws a shitload something Cotto has never seen or been up against.Hard to say

Cotto has a plan B which he will have to use when he finds Margarito will not wilt after his punches bounce off him. He will out box/fox him to win a classic fight.

Is a Shame to say this , but i going say it , everybody always saying what happened to Cotto in a latest fight when had been in bad condition , but the certainly is , that maybe nobody knows that Cotto in that time liked to went out , have happy nights , etc. and for be breve , he was not a Discipline boxer and thats why he got that nightmares , so after the Quintana fight , he recognized all the opportunity that he could get and then put his foot in the ground , now he is seeing all the harvest , so with this little and breve Story i hope that some peoples understand why that happened to him , because when you underestimate and doesn't get a good training obviously you could get a real nighmare in any fight , now he is different is Mature , when he was in that steps , i was his Fan , but not like actually i do , i hope so now that some peoples could take out of their mind that in this fight with Margarito could happen the same , Cotto is a Discipline boxer right now with a different and new skills and in each fight he improve more and more each time........

Don't be Confuse my friends...................

To me this is a toss up....I am a big fan of both though I like Tony just a bit more...Who ever wins though I will not be disappointed both are great warriors in the ring and both will give their all...

Tell you what...Hats off to them because there isn't anyone else out there standing in line anxious to fight either one of them...

It will be a good fight and will more then likely go the distance...If by some chance it does end by TKO/KO I would say Tony woud be the one to score it.....Based on chin alone...I mean Margarito can take an F'ING shot no doubt about it...

I am just looking forward to seing the two fight

No matter what, if this fight comes off, there's no way you can accuse Cotto of ducking anyone. I think he'll win in this one, but I doubt it'll be easy...Margarito is a tough hombre.

I like 'em both but I rather see Cotto vs Mayweather than Tony. Both are slow and vulnerable vs Mayweather but I somehow see Cotto giving Mayweather just a liiiiiittle bit more of a challenge than Tony.

I see Cotto destroying Margarito with ease because Margarito will go straight at Cotto and try to mix it with him. BIG MISTAKE. Cotta will pulverise him and snap his skinny arse in two. If Cotto was horse then his form REALLY stands up to close scrutiny. He fought Ricardo Torres who was 28-0 at the time and KO-ed him in the 7th, Torres won his next 4 four fight and is now WBO light welter champion.

He fought Carlos Quintana who was favoured to win that fight and was 23-0 at the time. He stopped him in the 5th, Torres went to REALLY show how good Cotto must have been when he beat Paul Williams in what many considered a big upset, also he beat Paul Malignaggi who was 24-0 at the time he fought Cotto. Cotto won clearly on points. Malignaggi went to win the IBF light welter weight champion. Not mention his wins against Shane Mosley and Zab Judah. His form is rock solid and he will beat Magarito EASILY. You heard it hear first.

...That is the most crazy thing I have ever heard...No one at 147 would destroy Margarito...Not saying he could not be beaten mind you but destroyed?.....His chin alone would not allow it
