  1. What say you, ESB? Can Angulo beat either of these fighters?

    Margo vs. Angulo would be a ****in' war. :smoke

    I actually see Angulo pulling that one out. I want to see the 154 Cotto against Foreman first before I say he beats him or not.

    I think he has a good chance at beating either one of them. Cotto can't take punches as good as he can dish them out, and Margarito when he isn't cheating probably doesn't punch hard enough to win a war. I would prefer to see Angulo vs Margarito because that will be a great TV fight but I think Angulo would make a name for himself faster if he beats Cotto.

    He should go for Margarito, easy way to make good money even if its the more difficult fight.

    El Perro is a bigger version of Margarito. I actually thought Margarito was the one fighting Julio when El Perro did his "catching up" semi-run a la Margarito. But he looks bigger than Margarito.

    I think El Perro beats them both. Cotto would be deja vu, while Angulo-Margarito would be the third world war in the squared ring. It might even top Corrales-Castillo I, in my opinion.

    Lets not forget that Margarito is done. His durability was his main asset, but Mosely broke that into little pieces. More than likely Angulo could exploit that and would TKO Margarito.
    Judging from the Julio fight, Alfredo hasn't improved since losing to Cintron, but what isn't known yet is how much Cotto has left after batterings from Marg and Mosely.
    If he has any punch resistance left he'd outbox Angulo for sure.

    I would first like to see what 154 Cotto looks like before judgement vs Angulo...I think against Margo it would b a gr8 fan-friendly TV fight

    yeah are you sure?

    And Cotto took less punishment against Mosely than in any other big fight he has been

    I'm not so sure about either of these guys yet. I think he should rematch cintron first

    El Perro proved in his Julio bout he has improved since his loss. I underestimated him and picked Julio to win, although I was on the fence, either way I think I'm a beliver now.

    I think right now Angulo could beat Antonio "Paris" Margarito, in what would probably be a war. Cotto, I still think has enough to be Angulo, but I wont be sure until I see him against that Foreman.

    i also want to see him in action at 154 before i make any judgements. who knows....maybe the extra 7lbs will be good for him and he may come back stronger. either way....angulo is a bigger, stronger version of margo so i see it being very tough for cotto to win!

    I think both fights would be great fights.
    I think the Cotto fight would be a great win (if he can get it) and especially in making a name for himself.

    I would love for Angulo to knock Margarito out once and for all. I want him to prove that Margarito does not represent Mexican boxers, and for it to be shown in a bloody war in which El Perro is Victorious as he stands above Margocheato.
