No one is gonna want to fight this cat now. He will be avoided and ducked just like he was 3 or 4 years ago. This is going to really piss him off and it will be very dissapointing to see it happen again. Him and Winky need to start a support group.
I am just glad Miguel did not duck him.
:lickish:
Why you hating so much?? Do you want me to quote your ass too? You are the worse of the Cotto fans.
Antonio Margarito was being ducked anyway regardless if he wouldn't of fought Miguel Cotto he would still be ducked so your saying beating Miguel Cotto hasn't done his career any good ? your post is confusing im not sure what your trying to say.............
Well the top 4 Welters have fought him the only one that didnt was Mosley who himself is coming off a loss so may be forced into it.
Never really got the most avoided tag Mayweather always matched himself carefully and Mosley had other things on his mind.
i think what his saying is now people have a real reason to fear him , not just the risk/reward thing, he was a little bit of an unkown quantity as far as fighting at the top level is concerned, wereas now i cant see many people wanting to be in with the first guy to beat cotto

Before he was huge risk little reward now he is big risk big reward im willing to guess.
Anyway HBO have a new love child.
Dangerous fighters are normally avoided when they are not big enough names to bring big money to the table. After last night his popularity will have doubled and his market value too. I don't see him struggling for fights now. I see Mayweathers return coming soon. I expect Mayweather to be far too good technically if this does happen, but I was wrong last night. I hope for a Toni vs De La Hoya fight in december, not sure about that though.
Unfortunately, the whole welterweight division has become less interesting:
Paul "The Punisher" Williams beat Antonio Margarito, who beat Miguel Cotta, who beat Shane Mosley.
De La Hoya is after easy fights with big paydays against guys who are starting to make a name for himself.
Floyd Mayweather got out as any of the four fighers mentioned above would probably beat him.
Paul "The Punisher" Williams has the style to beat Margarito. Might be a big payday, but can't imagine Margarito taking that one so quickly.
Antonio Margarito has the style to beat Miguel Cotta. Can't see anyone wanting to pay for a rematch.
Kermit Cintron and Carlos Quintana have taken their beatings..
i dont think well see de la hoya vs margarito for one big reason - if he fights a mexican such as margarito for his last bout one which will be important to him , am i right in thinking hell have very little of the mexican support? much like when the fought jcc as many see him as being a sell outQuote:

At least now when they call him the most avoided man in boxing everyone will clearly see why, were as before it was easily dismissed as bullshit.
Naw, this only clarifies that previous reluctance's by some fighters to avoid Margaritos company in the ring were well thought out decisions :shinner:
Its the ones that labeled him just an over rated Journeyman and a completley one deminsional brawler who should join Corky over here---> :dunce:........Respect to Cotto for gearing up and doing his best but if they rematch,I think we see a replay!
I'm pretty sure Toni is gonna be getting the fights now, he is the guy to beat now in the WW, regardless of his loss to Williams. Williams is gonna want his shot but I want Toni to make some money first the guy deserves it.
Margarito made himself many future millions with his performance last night. He's now the money man in the division. The guy who set himself back four years was Cotto, who spent half the fight running away from Margarito. There's no way Cotto will ever get back in the ring with Margarito.
