according to Eze, cotto is still a better fighter than margarito

I agree with this post and i have the same definition of a boxer as you do. People also have to realise though that sometimes the better boxer does lose the same way the better team loses in other sports or the better tennis player loses or the better golfer loses. It does happen. You have to judge who is better between the two fighters based on their other fights too not just the 1 fight they had between them.

I am not saying Cotto is better than Margarito but what I am saying is that sometimes the better boxer can lose to an inferior boxer, its not impossible

 

:rofl :rofl :rofl that is funny as hell

 

I will agree with this had it been a haymaker that landed. But when you systematicly took out a guy its hard to say that the guy on the receiving end is the better guy. margo is a proven fighter and a dangerous guy who gets better as the fight gets alone. In the case between these two guys i wouldn't say Cotto is the better fighter. he is the more technacaly sound boxer.

 

eze isn't very smart. He doesn't seem to have much real understanding for the sport. Besides, he's just a Mayweather groupie, not a boxing fan.

 

Definitly! Cotto has all the tools to out-box Margarito.

 

OMG the avaters have gotten digusting! Cotto still the better fighter than AM but he is not big enough to overcome the size difference.

 

This is definitely true and totally possible, though from a Head to Head basis i'm not sure it is true in this case. I think Margo was always going to win that fight, Cotto looked faster, more accurate and punching more effectively than ever, and it still wasn't effective enough to slow Margo, i think Margo would have always broken his will. I think the closeness of the scores show that if they fought 10 times Cotto would be bound to win at least one, however i think Margo would win the majority which makes him the better fighter/boxer head to head.

 

this is very obvious, and i say this with the minimum of contempt

 

Im not very smart because I said Cottos gameplan was bad? And I still feel Cotto is the better fighter of the two.

The Patriots are better than the Giants, that doesn't mean the Giants cant beat them.(Like they did)

 

Lance think he knows everything about boxing. He tried to tell me, I should watch more than one fighter. Yet I was posting on what Cotto should of done in the fight. And he knows I do Punch by Punch Round by Rounds for HBO Cards.

 

Cotto could have won the fight and I think he'd win in a rematch (if he's not ruined) by making some adjustments. He wasted too much energy in the first six rounds and should have established some punching to the body. But he is defintely more skilled and capable of beating Margarito I think. Nothing against Margarito, the man is a warrior and I give him large respects.

 

When did I say he stood and traded with Margarito? I said his fault was his lack of body shots. He'd have done better if he did fight his own fight and went to the body instead of concentrating on head shots(completely ineffective against this type of fighter). He didn't even know how to effectively clinch. He was up clear on my cards prior to the last round, and had he fought a smarter fight, he'd have slowed Margarito effectively while neutralizing Margarito's assaults in the final rounds by clinching. Though by that point, if Cotto had gone to the body effectively earlier, Maragrito's late rounds assault wouldn't have been nearly as successful anyway.

Sorry, if you can't see this you're gonna have to be placed in the Special Ed. bracket.:good

 

Watch out for Lance. You're an idiot for thinking Cotto have possibly even thought of changing his plan (what we call adjusting in a fight)
