Thread: Tony set himself back 3 or 4 years

Huge respect for both fighters.

Tony and Cotto did unbelievably well.

But.....The Pretty Boy beats Tony.
I really think he does.

Yeah i see Mayweather doing what Cotto was doing for the first 5 rounds, but sustaining it throughout the 12.

He enjoys fighting like that, on the backfoot. Cotto never really looked like he was enjoying it.

I just think Mayweather is way too good defensively and too strong mentally for Margarito to have the same success.

As daft as it sounds, on last nights performance i think Cotto has a better chance of beating Mayweather.....still very much doubt he would tho

I completely agree ono!
100%

Mayweather can work off the backfoot for twelve, we've seen it with Corrales, Baldomir and with Hatton.
Although eache were less physically imposing each fight showed that Mayweather can last for rounds without even being grazed by a punch, whilst countering with 5 -6 shots.
I think he could do this to Tony.


Tony Margarito tough....what a chin, what a gladiator!

No way.. Danny is giving Antonio Props..

props and stating facts..

The only guy who i think will fight tony now is P williams.. and thats a good thing cause tony needs that rematch and more unification wont hurt..

after that.. theres going to be some trouble getting fights.

I am just glad Miguel did not duck him.

When your at the top it is hard to keep getting ducked though, he is in most peoples eyes the true Welterweight champion now, and that is something people will want to take for themselves.

I'm not sure where to post this and I dare not start a new thred just for this...

I don't think Cotto was hitting Margarito as hard as we imagine. He was hitting scared and punching up, both of which take some of the mustard off the shots.

Please remember this is just a thought and not something that I have etched into my brain.

I think either Tony fights Paul which i bet on Paul to pull it off. Or i think Oscar may some how get Margrito to go up 154 and fight him because if he does fight Margrito he sure not going to drain himself. To tell you the truth i think Margrito moves up for his pay check but at 154 i can see Oscar knocking him out but just a opion like to see the fight though.

For me not so much that he wasnt hitting him hard enough but the mentality of how he fought the fight and the way he backed off and boxed and gave tony room to follow with those strait shots all the time was one reason for cotto's loss..

he already had respect from tony but tony wasnt going to show it in the fight.. instead of bieng on the back foot there could have been ways to push tony back and still do some defensive work and not make it all out war..

Not that it mattered cos cotto took shots all night anyway so he may as well have pressed somemore and given more back in the hope that pushing tony on the backfoot would have affected his fighting.
