As for the fight,it won't happen just yet,Cotto must fight his mandatory against Urkal and Margarito must fight Williams and if both make it through Arum has already stated that he would like them to meet at the end of 07. Margarito didn't look brilliant last night but it was for a number of reasons,take away all the ifs and buts and he still got the W against an opponent very few would have chosen to fight as an optional defence....

As for the Cotto-Margarito fight,Cotto would have the body to aim at but if Tony is 100% fit,I'd favour him. His stamina is ridiculous and is actually better than he showed against Clottey,he had ring rust there,and I believe he has the power to hurt Cotto. Also,don't forget,Cotto has been hurt before and Tony,fully prepared is a dangerous WW. It would be a cracking fight,a fight the fans want to see. IF Cotto cannot hurt and slow down Margarito,it'll be a long night for him and remember,Margarito.although not as devestating,goes to the body ALOT himself,something Cotto is not used to. It's good to see my 2 best fighters as the 2 best WW!
CC...

Anybody who thinks Margarito is "nothing" is a peice of dukie of a boxing fan. hahahaha

And that was the worst I ever saw of Margarito. I think he can get better, with less-injuries and camp improvement.
So Margarito wins again, the most accomplished Welterweight still.

People just love to hate on this guy, and I'm called a hater for saying the truth,
Mayweather took a pay cut to avoid this guy.
Who cares if your getting annoyed by "the most feared welterweight" thing? I was very annoyed when I watched the fight to see what all the hype was about and watch the guy take huge shots all night, not defend himself, and basically luck out because his opponent fucked his hand up. I was annoyed to see that for a full year people have built this guy up to be Godzilla, but the guy only has decent power, has no defense, and is a very average and limited boxer. He proved Saturday that he can easily be outboxed and outpointed on any given night. The only way Tony wins is if someone stands with him and fights, if you move around on the guy and land well placed shots, you can do it for a full 12 rounds and all he can do is sit there and smile because he knows that he's limited and in his eyes, boxing is just punching. All he knows how to come forward and throw punches. He doesn't feignt, he doesn't defend himself, he doesn't adjust to certain styles, he's your basic come forward type fighter with OK boxing skill. That's it. I'm not making any of this up, anybody can watch him and see what I'm saying. I understand that you're a fan of his, but if you are a true fan then you should already know that he's a basic and average fighter that just happens to have a belt. That's it. He's not elite and he'll most likely never be elite unless a bunch of stuff changes. I'll give him credit for being an exciting fighter and throwing a bunch of punches. If I was Larry Merchant, he'd probably be top 5 p4p, but I'm not gonna sit here and not say anything when people are acting like he should be given a medal for getting blown out by a guy for four rounds until the guy broke his finger. People are blaming his little injuries and ring rust on his performance, but aren't pointing to the fact that the guy just isn't very skilled to begin with. If you take away his ability to punch, he's a nobody, he has no other discernible qualities about him outside of being a big welterweight. PBF is my favorite fighter and he's probably the most hated on fighter on this forum, and I don't come out and tell other posters that I'm annoyed by their statements. PBF is stepping up to a higher weight to fight a champion who is at least 5 times better than Margarito in hand speed, power, speed, pure boxing ability, and defense, and people like Gyrokai are still saying PBF is running scared I'll give Tony credit for his win, but I don't see how anyone could say that he's the future of the division. Give me a break.
