Countdown for Cotto-Margarito!! Let's talk here (video added)

I thought I saw in the countdown show, where both PBF and Mosley turned down offers to fight Margarito. Is this true?

Yes Mosley did turn it down though he didn't slight Margarito like Mayweather did. It was before the Collazo bout, and Mosley said something like "I'm not ready for anyone like that" or something to that extent.

Seriously? :o

If that's true, that's awful candid for a professional boxer. Especially someone of Mosley's stature.

'Tis true.
Both fighters were offered the fight and both turned it down.
I do like the fact that SSM had the balls to step out and say he wasn't ready to fight him unlike PBF whom like Zab hid from him and never stepped up to the challenge.

O sea que el unico que ha tenido " BABILLA " ha sido Cotto ahhh Mick.....................ninguno se atrevieron ..................;D

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO MICK , i couldnt see it , until now , THANKS....

videos taken down , so annoying

WOuld have thought HBO would want their countdown show everywhere so the fight gets more hyped

I know just about to watch it agin even bigger fan of Tony now made me wipe a tear to hear him taliking about his brother, Great to see the other side of Cotto too. This is the one fight that i want there to be no loser!!!!;D

Nice to see two fighters pumping up the fight itself....not a silly circus of trashtalk, funny dances, group performances of old remade christmas songs, empty threats, all just to hug in the ring afterwards. This countdown was very well done, i'll be happy to see either guy win, i'm about to watch it again as well..

Saw it Saturday night and I gotta say how great the show was, I really like Tony's down to earth non chelant attitude, he lives life kicks ass every few months and go's about his business...

I am extremely ashamed of myself for not recognizing Margarito as a great fighter sooner, I just couldnt see past the hate at the time... But I say it again to see Cintron blast Tony with those rights and uppercuts just to see Margarito laugh and turn the heat up and eat Cintron alive made a believer out of me

Probably the BEST countdown I've seen gives me goosebumps.
The video pretty much sums up how of these fighters should win.
Margarito= staying as he is, pressure and power his way. Be a monster.
Cotto= Perfect sweet blend of power and boxing. Control your monster.

I gotta have to look for a sports bar this saturday in Quintana Roo:)

I was out of state when it originally aired and waited up til 2am yesterday just to watch it. I don't know what it is, but that countdown made me realize that Cotto is going to win this fight easier than I originally expected.

They kept bringing up this is Tony's first time in the big stage, he's been waiting for this, etc. Cotto has been there and thrived. Hopefully Margo will too so we can have a war! This fight could easily be over early!
