Both guys stock has slumped since they first fought, and for all we know Margarito's pounding at the hands of Manny Pacquiao may have left him a shadow of his former self, but I just think that Cotto and Margarito are two guys much like Bowe and Holyfield, ie: a combination that can't result in anything other than a thriller, even if one or both guys are not at their best. I think it's going to be a cracking fight, and I'm really looking forward to it. Winner should get Canelo next! :bbb
I am a Cotton fan. The man never backed down from an opponent and has fought the best in his weight classes. It is a good opportunity for him to avenge his last fight against Marg. I hope he hits Margo so hard it ends his career.
I'm a Cotto fan so honestly I can't wait for this fight I hope zcottopulls through, now that Margarito can't cheat it'll be a different story.
Mixed feelings as a Cotto fan. Can't help but feel revenge will be a bit of hollow victory given the pastings Marg has taken since. But at the same time there is some apprehension there that Cotto will still have enormous problems with his style and the extra weight won't exactly help. Still I will watch and I'm sure enjoy either way.
If you ook at it this way it's on even playing field. Margarito may have received severe punishing ass rapes, but that kinda equals what HE did to Cotto with that plaster. Weight makes Marg stronger but slower, and Cotto has Steward in his corner now and we all know Stewrd is a master when it comes to tweaking a boxer's arsenal. He already has a blueprint on how not to fight Margarito.
I get excited for a fight when it's weeks or days away.. i will definitelybe excited for cotto-margo, pac-marquez, ortiz-may, khan-judah..people saying that boxing is dying is not a fan of the sport.
revenge is a biiiiiiiotch margocheato w/o brick glove marg is average at best, cotto gonna ktfo his disgraceful ass
