Margarito, horrible boxer, good fighter

[Chino]

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.

I agree with you totally i think Miguel Cotto is far surperior fighter but Antonio Margarito is just a terrible style match up for him he can take Miguel Cotto's punches and keep coming which no one else can at Welterweight in my opinion........

He's not a horrible boxer, he does some things pretty well but he doesn't look pretty in there so a lot of people have written him off. I didn't think he'd win and I was slightly upset that he did cause I was rooting for Cotto but at least he finally gets his due. All those silly arguments with Floyd fans a couple years ago who hated him simply cause he wanted to fight Floyd. Taeth I could be wrong but I think it was you who I had an argument with a while ago because you thought Baldomir was as good as Margarito, can we accept that Tony's on a little different level than that now?

All that being said I do agree with the line of thinking that Cotto's more of a handful for Floyd. Still he's just a beast, its not all about "skill" and speed, I was wrong thinking Cotto's skill would win out.

[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!
