Margarito did his part, handled a fighter with ease in his "comeback" bout. A match-up of Margarito vs Pacquiao, Margarito vs Berto, Cotto vs Angulo or Cotto vs Berto can never and will never be as BIG or as INTRIGUING as "THE REMATCH" or as I Like to call it "REDEMPTION"...MARGARITO VS COTTO!!! Now the question remains...Where will this fight Happen? Can Margarito obtain a license in CA., NV., NY., FL.,? Because I highly doubt that Cotto will fight Margarito in Mexico. And why would he? It's Margarito that has disgraced himself, why should he get the opportunity to fight for a Possible Title (again) in his homeland. Personally...I would LOVE to see this fight in Puerto Rico. But no matter where this fight happens...IT HAS TO HAPPEN!!! But now it's all up to YOU...Miguel Cotto. Handle your business June 6th.
Cottoe is going to be embarrassed by Foremen in front of his Rican fanatics. He picked the worse possible matchup as a "comeback fight".
He put Santos down though, didn't he? Still, he can't really punch no, but Cotto shouldn't be anywhere near 154. His strength, presence and power aren't going to be as telling at the weight, his stamina will probably be even worse with the extra weight, and he's coming back after another beating.
People thought the same thing about Chop Chop and he had Cottoe doing the salsa version of the chicken dance. Cottoe is beyond shot and a big, strong, natural JMW with speed and good footwork is all wrong. Cottoe needs stationary targets to be effective and even then he got his ass wrecked by two of them (Torres & Margaritoe). I mean really, what's the 5"7 Cottoe going to be able to do with his slow footwork, stiff stance and short 'lil T-Rex arms?
I'm sure Cotto said he has no desire to fight Tony again, so why are we even hyping this! I just want to see him get back to winning ways and move back down to 147, if he wins there are plenty of good fights down there that if he is back to himself he can win!
The only reason is because freaking Bob Arum wants it to happen and he'll do his best to make it happen.
cotto said he aint gonna help margarito make money ever.. so i doubt he agrees to fight margarito anytime soon :hat
It would be ill-advised of Cotto to take on Margarito before we really get to see what both guys have left in teh tank. If i were his handlers I wouldn't want a repeat of what happened last time.
Cotto is moving up in weight fighting a champion and a dangerous undefeated young opponent. Margarito fought a tomato can. Please don't compare because it's not even close.
I'd much rather see PW vs. cotto, or berto vs. Cotto.......margacheater doesn't deserve a big fight like this. he should be banned from fighting in th us, and he can continue to fight in mexico.
By all accounts, it seems Arum is sacrificing him to me and his handlers are happy to take up anything offered to him. Margarito was a massively risky fight in the first place against another Top Rank fighter. Clottey was a difficult fight not long into his comeback aswell, againa Top Rank fighter. Pacquiao - another Top Rank fighter - was a fight I think Arum and co always expected him to get beaten in, and they were happy to take it at a catchweight. And now a tricky comeback fight against another Top Rank fighter at a weight he shouldn't be at. Maybe I'm being a bit paranoid about the situation, but it seems to me that Cotto is being matched as tough as possible all the time, even when he should be taking it easy, and always against Top Rank fighters. Is Arum just using Cotto as a name for his other stars to build upon?
