    Yes. And No.


    Yes because Margarito is **** at 154, we all know that, he's not good at that weight, he's never performed good any time he's moved up. Looked terrible in his last two fights.


    But no because.... Cotto was likely cheated again, and probably wants revenge.

    Lol, what criticism? I think Cotto's fans wouldn't like nothing more than seeing Cotto put a beating on Cheato.

    There is unfinished business between Cotto and Margarito. I think Cotto deserves rematch. It's not all about money or '''who he should fight''. There is heart and pride also in the boxing business and that's the reason why Cotto-Margarito would be a good fight for me.

    You're giving margo too much credit on pass accomplishments he hasnt look anywhere near what he was in his last three fights. Honestly i think he lost it completely but definitely cotto cant be criticize for fighting him do to the way he lost to him and the rumors afterwards.

    :hat

    Nah, no criticism. Cotto is a big money PPV fighter now who will be carefully managed for the rest of his career and only fight against old men, nobodies and maybe fighters moving up from 140. There's the non-PPV league of competitive A-level fighters, then there's the PPV league which, with few exceptions, are carefully managed older or damaged fighters who have a strong ethnic following which will always bring in the money. Cotto's on that level now. It's a shame he's only damaged and no longer fighting in the A league because of loaded gloves.

    Mayorga = not a top 250 fighter
    Margarito = not a top 200 fighter

    He deserves criticism from those who have criticized others for similar moves.

    Which would be at least 60% of you...

    I'm shocked to hear people think Margarito will win.

    They must also think that Margarito never once loaded his gloves. Ever. C'mon people!

    Margarito, who already beat Cotto once, can't win again?

    Viewing Cotto as a top fighter yes he should deserve criticism... but seeing as most think plaster man cheated we'll give Cotto a pass.

    Am I the only one who thinks that Margarito might've used plaster against Cintron? Cintron was actually boxing good until those body shots that put Cintron down like a crying *****..

    I don't think he can, Margarito is not the same fighter at 154. And he's shown nothing to suggest he's even half as good as he was before.

    I think Margo looked pretty game against Pac, the loss was understandable. I think getting caught cheating right before a fight would totally screw with your head, hence the demolition by Moseley. Comeback against garcia was lame though.

    Still think it's a good fight for Cotto, the revenge aspect means it kinda needs to happen!
