wtf? As much as you talk about Margarito raping people, you don't need to be saying ANYTHING to me. ******.
If there is something that cant be denied about Margarito is that he does have a lot of heart and his chin is out of this world. Other than that he is a piece of ****.
A true warrior is a fighter who knows when he had enough. Just like Ortiz when he quit against maidana who barely won against a shot morales. That is the epitome of a true warrior.
The thing is, we can't rest easy. He's 1-1 with Margarito. There is no proof that Margarito used wraps against Cotto. None. If Cotto is resting easy, it's because he is in denial. Cotto won this time for a variety of reasons (none of which include loaded gloves). 1) Much better conditioning 2) much better game plan 3) Margarito is nowhere close to the fighter he was three years ago (many will claim that it's because of Pacquaio but I blame the first Cotto fight) and 4) Margarito started believing his own hype about his chin. Watch his fights pre-Cotto and you'll see a pressure fighter who had a very underrated defense. That aside, Cotto put a beat down on Margarito and probably again will if they fight again. But in their primes, Margarito broke him down and beat him badly.
Margo's a beast. Mexican terminator. I'll never forget him smiling and jogging at Cotto in the first fight
Agree with the Capitan, a human punching bag, blessed with an iron jaw he has little else to work with, should get out of the game.
Lmfao @ some ******ed *******s saying the plaster doesnt make a fighter hit harder. Gender and Johnny are the 2 stupiest ppl here in esb forum. You two should just leave esb forum for good.
Fighters, trainers, boxing experts and real fans all say plaster is a loaded weapon in which it hits harder. There is a reason why Margarito was not allow to fight in over a year because of this. You really need to follow another sport.
Rico,you've stated more or less my exact feelings,I had a lot of faith invested in this guy since he beat Golden Johnson,and when he won the first fight,it was like my faith was justified,even though unlike Tony,I felt Williams won clearly.However,the first Cotto fight,despite feeling like a coronation was the beginning of the end.I'll never be convinced that his whole career was a fraud though,he was a great fighter to follow but it's never felt right since the Mosley fight,although I wonder if he would at least have gone the distance with Shane,as I'm sure the stoppage had a lot to to with his head being fried because the game was up,I just would never have seen him getting stopped like that with that chin of his.I feel like he's kinda pissed over some of us who were big fans,and although I felt quite good for Cotto the other night,there were times when it was sad seeing the way the tide turned,self inflicted or not. A Mayorga fight would be a good last resort,can you imagine the build up? Not a bad idea for a thread Jack,I know he deserves all that's coming to him,but there was a time when he was a good boxer to follow. I firmly believe what I was told by a guy from Oxnard who said that Rios and his crew would be bad **** for Tony.Not like he didn't have problems to seek.
Credibility. It's the only currency in the world that matters. You obviously have none. Imagine that ESB's very own bastion of morality actually has the audacity to admire a man who should have gone down the same path as Luis Resto and Panama Lewis for loaded gloves. You sir are a blithering idiot.
