Man I want my name to be the Vaginacutioner HA AH HAHA HAHAHAAHHAHAAHAHA iNHALANTS ARE BARD FOR YOU>
Pac would NEVER call himself that or any other name to offend a race. He's better then that...
That nickname was given to him by Filipino writers which caught on and some fans like to refer to him as such but Pac doesn't.
And believe me that the times anyone has started a thread as such I've clearly voiced my opinion and said something about it. You can bet on that...
Im still kind of on the fence here.
like i said if Cotto trades he gets knockedout if he boxes he wins.
I didn't even remember the Santos fights when I thought about that. Thanx for the reminder.
I'm just going over a million scenarios in my head all day for like the last two weeks. This fight hasn't even started and I'm already on the edge of my seat.
I'll tel you what though, Margarito dosent go backwards and thrives on the combat, you hit him hard he comes on stronger... We know Cintron isint known to be tough as nails but I went back and watched my DVR replay of the fight yesterday and he was bludgeoning Tony with right hands and uppercuts and couldnt put a dent in Margarito and Cintron is a murderous punching Welterweight... Margarito was even shrugging of the bodyshots... I just think he will eventually swallow up Cotto late in the fight... Margarito keeps punching and fills in the gaps so good, he finds all the leaks in the defense, body, head uppercuts back to the body etc.. The guy is a destuctive force...Cotto will have to kill him to get Tony to stop punching...
Cotto will have his moments as usual, but I think a Margarito Tko is a far gone conclusion IMHO
One things for sure this is a genuine 50/50 fight can't wait roll on weekend.
Spreading the Good Word on all the Cotto V. Margarito threads....
Hearing all the Tony haters is getting old, even if (a big if) he loses he is gonna die in that ring. This man has been waiting and been ducked for a long time and you think he's gonna go in there and just roll over.
Everyone in here must be a Rocky fan, and I can already see Tony telling his wife/trainer/mother/passed away brother "To beat me, he's gonna have to kill me, and to do that he's gonna have to be willing to die himself"...was Rocky really Mexican and not Italian???? Cuz that has Mexican fighter written all over it.
I dont doubt Cotto is willing to war, he has been in some, but I dont know he's willing to die. The countdown said it perfectly, between Mexican and Puerto Rican fighters and fans the big differance is that Puerto Ricans are allowed to box alittle more...let me translate that for you, when Tony takes Cotto's shots and keeps moving forward, Cotto will run/box (ill use those interchangeably), hell Cotto ran against Mosley an old Mosley, a Mosley that wanted nothing to do with Antonio Margarito!
Yes Cotto can out box Margo, but try boxing when you have a Tornado of well over 1000 punches a fight after you. Shit the most specialized, highly trained, super killers in any armed forces would succumb to shear volume of enemies after them, why do you think this will be different, ya Cotto will out box him, but Tony will outwork him. Tony has one of the highest stamina levels in the WW division. His production/workrate is wayyyyyy out of the norm for a Cotto opponent.
Cotto's higher level of boxing technique and ability will allow him to land many shots to the body and face, granted. What is he gonna do when he faces a man who takes bombs to the grill (Cintron) and laughs at him. Could he have stood up to those bombs? Could he have walked through it and f***ing laughed!
Yes Yes we're all mystified by the strong silent cotto who never smiles, keeps his composure in every situation, pushes the smaller man around and keeps moving forward, very imressive. BE afraid of the guy that laughs in your face, beats your ass, and begs you to get up so he can continue to whoop your ass some more.
Make no doubt about it my friends we are in for a classic, and I give all the respect in the world to Cotto for his ability, athleticism, and dedication to his craft he is one of my favorite fighters, and with this post I am not saying that Tony has it in the bag or anything close to that, a part of me is afraid for Saturday to get here. We all seen the soft underbelly of Antonio Margarito on the Countdown, and no matter how badass you are, you must have felt his pain over the loss of his brother, and if he doesnt win this weekend who knows what that might do to him, a loss here would be hard, so I worry for him.
But do not discount Tony because he will die in there. He will put it all out there for himself, his family, his country, and his fans and even if he doesnt pull it off this weekend, he will show more heart in defeat than Cotto can in Victory. He will have more fans than ever before. I know many of you know this to be true, Margo fans or not. He's gonna shock many, including his own fans and followers. Spread some rep if you believe it too. Not for me, but just to back up my man Margo.
Oh and when all you haters/non-believers change your minds, theres plenty of room on this band wagon, welcome.
I like both these guys but after watching Tony walk through bomb after bomb in the Cintron rematch i think he takes Cotto out inside 7 rounds probably round 5.I will be rooting for Tony its taken me a while to split these guys for who i would be rooting for but now i know its Tony.
Exactly. Cotto has already had his chin/jaw exposed in almost every fight as well as the fact that he gets cut in almost all his fights. At the same time, he has shown he can pack a punch so we'll see what happens this weekend.
It would be more of a dream to think Cotto can beat someone like Floyd.Quote:
he'd be more like the dream killer cause cotto is the guy that can beat floyd, but do not worry tony will not beat cotto.
Since moving to 147 Cotto has never demonstrated any issues with his chin.
In fact since the shift upward in weight Cotto has taken on his best opposition in Judah and Mosely, one an extremely hard gitter, the other among boxings most accurate live punchers.
In both fights Cotto suffered severe bleeding inside his mouth due to punishment, yet he never seemeed rocked badly.
I think this confirms the theory that weight drain was affecting Cotto at the end of his Light Welterewight days.
I really agree , who can say that Cotto has been rocked badly on 147 pnd. contrary to 140 pnd. ? , Nobody
Everybody knows what happened to Cotto on JWW Div........like Donny commented
I dont think in still believing about what happened to Cotto on JWW Div.... , he now is in other Div.......in which had get enough improvements without any problems.................
