    I don't mean to offend anyone, but I think that is a ****ing ludicrous comment. I am a bit of a Cotto fan, but I think that is absurd. If he is lying on the canvas with Margarito standing over him sometime this year, maybe then he will realize why that has happened to him when it has never happened to Bernard Hopkins. I have a little admiration for his aesthetic convictions, sure I do, but I do not believe in it.

    I hope that's all it is, but I'm not too sure. In order to beat Margo he MUST do some clinching. This kind of talk is not good news for Cotto fans.:verysad

    Co-sign, but being a Cotto fan I don't think this is such a good thing, as it probably means Margo KO's him again. I hope I'm wrong though.

    He is telling the truth...thats the way he is....also, he was asked if he has watched the tapes of his fight with Margie.
    His reply was, " why do I need to watch them...I was there "

    And Judah didn't throw any low ones against Gayweather.
    Fortuneately for Gayweather he didn't have anything down there
    to get hit.

    I think you are wrong on this one.

    Cotto will surprise even Margie.

    Sounds like the philosphy of a soldier who says "I'll never carry a gun into combat; guns are for pussies.":patsch

    Taking a knee from utter exhaustion coupled with a pummeling and
    not clinching are two different animals.

    If you can't understand that...then try sticking that cheap cigar somewhere downstairs and maybe that will clear your mind....it
    appears that is where it is at for now.

    You're right....but I think what he means is the ***** type of holding
    that Ruiz and Hopkins have mastered.

    If you recall in the Margie fight he did try to tie up Margies arms on a few
    occasions when he was stunned and the ref immediately broke it up.
