    There is a reason Margarito legendary status imposes itself against your will

    Margarito has no $ to buy voices or have a team or anything to offer...other than 1000 punches of determination that brought down an Undefeated HOF Champion to his knees. (That's when the conspiracy theory started ... Titled Hand wraps destroyed Cotto :deal )

    If you guys want to see a true blue collared fighter, look no further than margarito. Nothing was ever handed to him in boxing. He earned everything the hard way ..

    He's made from that same cloth as the Salidos and the In Jin Chis.

    Margarito is a real fighter.

    So then why in the rematch when he lands virtually the same amount of punches cotto leaves clean and unharmed after destroying margarito

    Margarito was already past his prime when he destroyed Miguel Cotto via 1000 punches of determination (if he had any extra power it would have been over with a few punches, it was a display of volume punching, but drowning sore losers will suck on any sweat straw to downplay the defeat :smoke )

    Its definitely counter productive :think

    LOL just because someone had a suspension does not make him guilty

    And you foos who keep claiming that cotto won the rematch. Lol are u serious? Be honest with yourselves.

    Not only did cotto have the sympathy of ref, judges , crowd, but he was fighting a one eyed handicap.

    Cotto still couldnt score a clean KO. He a punk

    The ref in the cotto rematch even admited he stopped the fight because of the history of the eye not because of a beating lol

    Margo was beat far worse in the Pac fight and it was not stopped

    Margo was coming on strong in the rematch and cotto got lucky with the eye

    Im stating the facts. Cotto won because he had that sympathy angle.

    The ref and the doctor were looking for first sign of danger so hey could give cotto a stoppage victory.

    That fight was a joke

    No he never he ran every time Margo landed

    He targeted the damaged eye and every clinch rubbed against it he has to thank manny pacquaio

    They stopped the fight because the eye was operated on and was scared it would permanently blind him
