Exactly!

Cotto showed great skill for the first 6 rounds...but he never HURT marg once!

Infact marg was never hurt the whole fight.

He never got rocked back even, he just walked through everything cotto gave him lol.

The man got pummelled by the same guy that bashed judah crapless, that broke malignaggi's face, that smashed gomez to pieces, who beat mosley.

YET HE ENDED UP BRUTALLY WEARING HIM DOWN AND MAKING COTTO'S FACE INTO A HAMBURGER!

Marg did much more damage to cotto's face than cotto did to marg.

The evidene is clear to see from the damage inflicted and the result. But i must say that i did think it looked like cotto was hiting marg with harder and more powerful, cleaner shots...but i think this goes to prove something ive thought all along...IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT LOOKS HARDER/CRISPER/SHARPER...MARG'S ATTACKS DIDNT LOOK ANYWHERE NEAR AS SHARP OR CRISP AS COTTO'S ATTACKS, BUT THEY DID FAR FAR MORE DAMAGE! You only have to look at cotto's face and the result to see he got battered sh1tless in the ring, he was battered into submission.

Marg is a classic marciano fighter, he is the mexican rocky! The guy keeps on coming and coming and doesnt get hurt.

All i can say is, WHO CARES ABOUT 'SHARPER, CRISPER SHOTS' WHEN YOU CAN BATTER OPPONENTS INTO A WALKING ZOMBIE AND HAVE A GRANITE CHIN?

In the end, marg obviously did something right with his shots (i agree aswell that they didnt look as powerful, or look as sweet connections as cotto's did)...but when in that ring, THEY OBVIOUSLY WERE! Afterall, cotto's face showed it...it was such a great fight, a true war, PURE EXCITEMENT...I feel sorry for cotto, but in the end it is fights like this that make boxing such a great sport, a true battle and two great athletes performed against each other today in a real gritty battle, that is my fight of the year, massive respect for both fighters, but major props to tony for SILENCING THE DOUBTERS AND THE HATERS!!! WAHOOO...I LOVE IT WHEN THE HATERS GET SILENCED!

Margarito might not be 'the best' boxer out there...but in the end who cares who is 'the best' boxer...its about being 'the peoples favourite boxer', the 'boxer with the most fans'...and tony has definately gained some fans tonight.

Floyd could fight tony and probably beat him...but all i can say is that 99% of people are gonna want to see tony batter floyd into submission if that fight ever took place (i doubt it will though).

He has definately become a peoples champion.
