    Hell yea i totally Agree there was moments in the fight where he looked very sloppy. He do have the tendacy to get cocky like he think he is sugar ray leonard or something. At other times he just have a look on his face like he is drunk or something. Cotto had a flaws like any other fighter but was over looked by his fans for a long time. Unfortunately for him all the his flaws came to light and he to took an ass whooping for most to see them. Cotto will be back but he will not be the great fighter most thought he was.

    How can you fucking say that? He might do a Tszyu and come back stronger than ever and beat Tony, Paul and even Floyd for all we know.

    Don't mean to sound pissed off but there is waaaaay too much emphasis on fighters remaining undefeated these days. When you fight the top guys and lose it don't mean anything. Cotto is still one of the best welters in the world.

    I know you weren't talking to me, but there is a lot of work involved for Cotto to be able to be able to achieve this type of concentration. He could become great, I already think he is a very, very good fighter, but focus is the most important element any fighter can have. I thought Cintron looked very good against Margarito until he lost focus. I know it takes an amazing person to retain that focus against a mauler like Tony, but takes an amazing person to be a great boxer.

    I can't see Cotto winning a rematch against Margarito. Cotto fought great. But he couldn't hurt him. That was the problem. I don't see how that would be any different in the rematch. Not only that but if they fought again Margarito will have the same advantage over Cotto that he had over Cintron. I can hurt you. But you can't hurt me. It's in Cotto's best interest to stay away from Margarito.

    But if he improves his stamina he could box like he was in the first 6 rounds for the whole fight.

    I don't think it was a stamina issue. I think it's the pressure Margarito was putting him that became to much. People need to watch the fight understand that Cotto didn't decided to fight off the back foot. He didn't go the ropes by choice. Margarito forced him. I gave Cotto the first 5 rounds. But it was obvious from the second round that he couldn't hurt Margarito. But Margarito could. Cotto gassed out because of the pressure Margarito put on him. That won't change in the rematch. Cotto can't win cuz Cotto can't hurt him

    There are things Cotto can do, to not tire out, Not that it will chane a rematch, but he can clinch more off the ropes, He moved back wards when he could have come forward throwing punches. He didn't need to move straight backwards he moved fast enough that he could have kept the fight int he center of the ring with a lot less energy wasted. Even Cintron was able to keep the fight in the middle of the ring more. Cotto was going straight back to the ropes on his own accord.

    Do you think Williams hurt Margarito?

    Alright it comes down to style.

    Cotto's style and the reason he wins fights is because he can walk down his opponents and makes them submit to his pressure.

    And opponents he hasnt been able to do that against he didnt look his best, Ndou for example.

    Cotto's style looks best and is most effective when he can impose his will and walk down whoever he is fighting.

    The thing is he couldnt walk down Margarito yet Margarito could hurt him and walk him down. Margarito took everything about Miguel's style and still had more to hurt him so there really is nothing Cotto can do differently in a rematch because his style is to walk you down, he can't walk down Margarito so he isn't going to beat him.


    As far as Paul Williams go it isnt in his style to walk down someone so whether he could hurt Margarito or not didn't matter because it isnt his style. His style is to outhustle and keep a high work rate which he can do without hurting you.

    Miguel on the other hand needs to walk down his opponent and make them submit, he cant do it to margarito so there isnt anything he can do different.

    Hmm.. as surprising as it is, and as much as I shouldn't - I agree.

    That is exactly what I saw in the fight.

    But watch Kessler against Andrade, He hit Andrade with everything but the kitchen sink, but he couldn't hurt Andrade, yet he used a lot smarter movement then Cotto, and stayed focused. Obviously Andrade isn't Margarito, but Cotto was giving up ring space for free, and he wasting his energy moving, and later on he wasn't protecting himself, He stopped using as much head movement on the ropes, and he stopped keeping his hands up or trying to smother Margarito's punching.

    You say nothing in your post that leads me to believe you are too analytical or knowledgeable about boxing. Your arguments are ridiculous... what are you... about 13?

    All in all, one of the stupidest posts I've seen in awhile.
