Yesterday between fights on Showtime it showed cotto to be fighting margarito 12/2/06. If this can be confirmed this fight would be even bigger than pbf-baldomir.
The Dec 2 fights will be a double header with Cotto and Margarito, but they will not be fighting each other. It was Cotto & Margarito, no Cotto vs Margarito.
It is Cotto vs. Margarito from how I read it on Showtime. If so, I just hope that Cotto gets his ass kicked.
Margarito is scheduled to fight Joshua Clottey. December 2nd. 2006Quote:

As far as Tony beating Miguel's azz? Nikku please. You underestimate Cotto.
Cotto,.. when Arum does put these two up against each other, Margarito will lose.
Mark my words. Cotto will own the WWD.
if it happens i want cotto to win. i cant stand margarito

I agree Cotto's got way to much for Margarito, in fact anyone with a half decent defence and good footwork would probably have more than Margarito.Quote:

I agree Cotto Vs Hatton would be a huge draw, id pick Hatton at 140 but Cotto at 147.Quote:

Name all these guys that dropped Cotto at 140.
ok guy....ricardo torres had him kod on his feet and dropped him....cotto showed heart, but if hes going to stand there and bang vs margarito or castillo he will get knocked the fuck out, especially by tony.......and if Corley can hurt him..... :dontknow:Quote:

Oh and BTW good point HULK.
What I am trying to say is that Cotto is alot smarter than you make him out to be rsan-chez.
ive seen most of cottos fights, so i know what he can bring to the ring, hes a great boxer IMO.....im not dissing his boxing skills but i am dissing his chin...and one thing i am positive of is that he wont outbox tony or castillo, and not because i dont think he can, he probably could.... but because i know he'll eventually stand there and want to bang it out, and thats where he'll lose.....oh and a fight w/ tony will never happen IMO. from what ive heard it would most likely be vs castillo.....a great fight imo but i have castillo by tko.....for the reason ive stated.....Quote:

Any thoughts?
yeah that was sneaky how Showtime advertised that, at first glimpse you would think it was Cotto- vs Margarito,
;)
ok miguel cotto reminds me of zab judah a bit not that hes a dick like them but i just think that he goes into the ring with a plan but as soon as he gets hit he loses concentration a want to brawl but that my opinion :box3:
They are NOT fighting eachother.
The telie set had & NOT VS
They are fighting on the same card.
Before Corley hitting Cotto with the temple shot that put in queer street. Corley catched him with several flush chin shots that Cotto was able to walk through. Torres really hurt him with shots to his chin. No body else have really hurt Cotto and he has beaten several punchers. With the extra weight his chin can only improve.
Cotto is not fighting Margarito. Thank god for Cotto, Margarito would knock him out within ten rounds... at the most. And going up in weight does not make your chin better if anything it makes it worse.
Eventually and the way things are going, Arum is not going to have a choice and he will have to put these two young feared, ferocious fighters in the ring to face one another. Cotto will not even let this get close to the 10th round. Cotto takes out Tony in the 7th.Quote:

I agree with your Margarito opinion, but i think Hatton and Castillo are very skilled fighters.Quote:

I want to see how Miguel looks at 147 first but going on what I know now,I think Margarito would beat him. Cotto has a GOOD chin but Tony throws so many bombs,is effective at cutting off the ring and has good,effective body punches. I think Cotto's chance of success is in boxing Tony and maybe standing toe to toe selectively,rarely and using those AWESOME hooks to the body as much as is humanly possibly!It would be an awesome awesome fight and one that we will most likely never see,it is a conflic of interests for Arum,he knows Tony is way too dangerous for a future star like Cotto!
Cotto is certainly more skilled but Margarito is a rare breed,he has average speed,a a good chin and power in both hands,he's rugged amongst other things and these qualities compensate for that apparent lack of skill.
I like Cotto a lot also, but I agree with El Gamo, Margarito is too big strong , Cotto can plod around at times, I think he will be even more cemented at a heavier weight. However Margarito would give him some opportunities because Margarito will fight on the inside some, this would be a exciting fight to watch ! maybe this fight will be made down the road sometime ?
Margarito (le partera su madre a Cotto) I predict A mid fight stoppage or Ko for MargaritoQuote:
