Margarito does have an awkward style and it looked as though Cottos punches were stronger. But in his own way Margarito breaks down his opponents and you just need to look at their faces after the fight. Yeah, Margarito can absorb shots and just keeps on trying to close the gap throwing those punches.

I agree that Cotto looked fantastic in the first 6. Made Margarito look slow frequently.

Huh? Tony looked horrible? I think it looked even worse to have a guy that KOs opponents have Tony walk through his punches and giving him a beating at the end.

There was someone here in the forum that had a signature with Cotto's opponents' bloody faces after the fights. He should add Cotto's face in there.

He boxing skills were horrible. Why is it so bad that somebody can take your punches, There are some guys that can walk through anything. David Tua could do it, He walked through Lewis' punches, He walked through everything Ike threw at him, but while Ike only did well at the begining with his superior boxing skills, Lennox completely humiliated Tua because he was a better true boxer.

ANYONE who thinks Margarito is a great boxer is absolutely DILLUSIONAL!
You will not see ONE pro trainer teach it's up and comers to fight like Margarito...NOT ONE!

Tony's style will only work...will ONLY WORK if you have a chin made out of Adamanteum. I have NEVER seen anyone who was so CLEANLY hit by power shots like Margarito. 99/100 boxers would have been on the canvas if they took the same shots Cotto dished out.

Margarito won that fight SOLELY based on his chin. That's something Cotto CAN'T solve. Cotto's only chance IF there were to be a rematch is somehow sustain the running and shooting he did for 12 FULL rounds instead of just the first 6 rounds. Any other strategy will simply NOT work...

and so the backstabbing begins, now that his 0 is finally gone, even though it was in a fight that was virtually even at the beginning of the 11th, he's a loser and was overhyped , Cotto is a world class fighter, and deserves all the credit he has ever been givin, also one of the classiest fighters in the sport at that, all you backstabbers are what make boxing a dirty sport, you people fucking disgust me, last night was a great fight against TWO great fighters, you disagree, then fuck off

Who was saying Cotto was a bad fighter? I still think he is better than Margarito, he's just not better against Margarito. Sort of like Pep-Saddler, but different style matchup.

[straight down the pike]

I agree, all the cotto fans Friday weren't his fans Saturday night. I think he was overhyped and it was shown Saturday night. At the same time stick with your fighters. Damn ban wagon jumpers. By the way i agree Margarito can't box but, i rather be in his position than a fighter than Cotto or that can box. You guys are just haters Cotto lost get over it!
