Shifting of opinions: Knowledgeable? or Fickle fans?

Same goes for Margarito. Only a few diehard fans expressed their "fandom" of Margarito back then. All of a sudden, it seems... everyone is singing Margarito's praises. Obviously, his total destruction of the dangerous Kermit Cintron was a huge factor.

So does that make us knowledgeable? Or fickle? I think the former. That's the beauty of boxing. As fighters mature and get huge fights under their belts, we tend to change our opinions and our preferences.

I just hope that whoever loses on July 26th all of a sudden doesn't become a bum.

;) ;)

I wouldn't say fickle in the least. Cotto proved he was becoming a better fighter by taking on and beating fighters like Zab Judah and Shane Mosley. Those uppercuts from Judah looked harder than anything Torres threw at him so Team Cotto had was onto something when they said it was the weight that was the problem.
