Oh my! Mad ups to Margarito.

[RP33]

I liked this fighht.Fun stuff Margarito simply walked him down...point blank but Cotto had moments with stick & move in spots.This was Margaritos game plan executed.Tell ya what...I'd rather see rematch before the either ODH or Mayweather merrit the big show

A great night huh Spicoli'?

Let them have a rematch; same outcome but maybe earlier. This will leave a lasting impression on Cotto and not sure how he'd react when he steps in again with Margarito.

Props to Cotto, that guy never quits. Cintron wouldn't have made it 5 rounds with Tony tonight.

I still say Floyd beats Tony pretty decisively. Cotto would be a harder fight for Floyd and I would still love to see a Cotto/Mayweather match up.

i agree cotto would still be harder for mayweather simply because cotto is quicker and has more sharper/accurate punches.. compared to a pressure fighter who floyd, at this point of his career has fought enough pressure fighters, that he could dispose of him in his sleep..

but i don't even know what comes next..

I don't see mayweather defeatin margarito. Cotto put on a brilliant defensive show and was still steamrolled by tony.

cotto fought "brilliantly defensive" against a sloppy boxer.. big deal..

have you seen mayweather fight? he's the slickest of slick and can dodge bullets.. if Margarito lands 1/8th of the punches on mayweather that he landed on Cotto tonight then he would be lucky..

You know what no one talks about with all these PBF fights Ring rust. That squirrely little man may be the most skilled boxer by far, but you fight one fight a year and then take time off here and there.......your ass is gonna get caught by the boogyman for being an inactive fuck. Fact.

good point.. but the fact that it takes margarito a few rounds to get going, and looking at the hatton fight, it takes mayweather a few rounds to adjust to everything, i still think he would be fine.. BUT i do agree with you, that if there was one thing to do floyd in, it would be his inactivity..

[halo]

Margarito takes one (or two and three maybe) to land a good shot. I don't know, mayweather may just slip and slide the whole night and end up with a technical win (boring though). Cotto/Mayweather maybe a better match up becuase Cotto is a lot faster.

Mayweather would be fine with not fighitng for a year, he usually takes a huge amount of time between fights, and he always stays in great shape, I am sure he is still in great shape, he would just have a longer training camp.

Mayweather holds alot. That's what the difference would be. Cotto was outboxing him and almost no clinching. Mayweather could win a hug and run fest, but you can't slip 120 punches a round. Margarito is too big for Cotto, and way to big for PBF. Cotto layed on the ropes WAY too much. He was expecting to counter and get the ko, but he couldn't hurt Margarito. Margarito was possessed. Insane conditioning, chin, determination. Reminded me of Vasquez in the last Marquez fight. He just kept coming harder and faster. If Cotto wasn't a fighter, he would have won a decision, but he wanted the ko so he fought inside way too much.... Great fight.

Margarito is the best possible pressure fighter you could ever create. He is actually video game like. Floyd would not be tired by Margarito and would school him for 12 rounds. Floyd is an elite athlete and his conditioning would hold up to the barrage. Picture SRL/Duran II. Cotto falls in the middle where he is pretty good at everything, but tonight Tony broke his will and he was just gassed out.

[awdleyfuturehalloffamer]

Mayweather is dangerous because of his speed and defence. If Margarito can break cotto's defence then he will break mayweather's as well.

so with that logic, you're saying that Cotto's defense is better than Mayweathers..



enough with this heresy.

I'm saying cotto's defence is damn good. Tony handled cotto's defence and speed advantage and he will handle floyd's defence and speed advantage.

[JonesJrMayweather]

cotto was poorly conditioned for his own strategy....if he had truly trained for the pace and circling the ring as he did in the first round this would have been an easy night....at first i was thinking mayweather-corrales...but then cotto either lost focus or got tired...either way i feel bad that cotto lost esp after I gave him mad deserved props after he beat shane...but nevertheless floyd would not get tired against margarito and would be able to dodge and circle all night long...i still would rather see floyd-cotto or floyd-shane than to see pbf batter the stalking margarito for 12 rounds..

Cotto's defense is damn good? Like when he wouldn't tie Tony up when Tony had him on the ropes and he wasn't throwing back? ... I agree that Cotto's defense is good when he isn't tired, but he doesn't have anything near the defensive capability of Mayweather. Mosley hit him with numerous right hands that would have never landed on MAyweahter partly becuase of his footwork, partly because of his speed, and partly becuase of his defensive ability in general. Mayweather is faster than Cotto(especially in footspeed which is the key point), better counter puncher, better defense(than maybe anybody ever in boxing), and he has better stamina.

Terrible logic, because Floyd's speed and defense advantage is ten times what Cotto's is.
