Miguel Cotto Speaks On Margarito Decision

[Manuel "Chubby" Medina]

Past is the past and its time to move on. Agreed. Respect.

[Boxerharvey]

Surely now that Margarito has been banned for a year and assuming Cotto beats Jennings then a rematch with Mosley must happen now to prove who the undisputed welterweight champion is?
I honestly think Mosley would beat Cotto in a rematch, there first fight I scored very close but with a Cotto win and I think Mosley left it too late in the fight to pressure Cotto and as Margarito proved that is the way to beat Cotto. Pressure!

[El Kabong]

Cotto is a humble guy, and has rarely said anything bad about anyone.


As for Margarito he got off easy....sorry you can seriously hurt someone or even KILL them in boxing WITHOUT cheating like this....I wouldn't have minded if Margarito was banned from boxing altogether

[Macho]

Cotto is a person that doesn't like to compromise his words too.............

[smashup]

No one has ever bashed cotto up like that and he had his nose broken in round 2 ffsakes

Rematch

[Youngblood]

Cotto has always been class, and being so close to a fight he doesnt need any distractions or to be a part of a controversy.

I do think the loss prob. messed with his head. It would explain the tattoos somewhat as a need to make changes and try new things. Looking forward to his fight and hope to see him regain the confidence and respect he imo deserves.

I wouln't give Margarito a rematch tho. I wouldn't give Margo anything or any kind of reward for being a cheat. Whether he did it in only one fight or not. But ya, I guess I'm fairly bitter about it.

[LEGION]

Cotto is one kool kat for sure.....He just maintains a level attitude about everything and keeps his mind focused on his next job at hand....

Margarito should never be allowed to fight again; though I wouldn't mind seeing him fight and get bruised and battered again like Mosley did to him, and to a big degree Cotto did....this coming from one of the biggest Margarito supporters that was on this forum....Mosley probably ruined him so let him get beat like an old journeyman dog now if he is allowed to fight; and take all his purse $$$ after each fightA disgrace.....and Capetillo should have his arsehole filled with plaster; though I'd feel kind of sorry for the gerbils stuck up there

[Beanflicker]

Thank god he isn't as boring in the ring as he is behind a mic. Always the cookie-cutter, "nice guy" answers.

I said Margarito should have gotten a 3 year ban, but that seemed extreme to some. I agree with you: that plaster stuff could have killed Mosley
