I was just reading the Puerto Rico newspaper and he said he is still planning to do Margarito/Cotto 2 in June. Margarito not only lost the belt, HE WAS CAUGHT CHEATING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cotto fight against Jennings is for the vacant WBO belt. If he beats Jennings, the fight against Mosley would be an unification fight. ARUM SAYS MARGARITO HAS MORE FANS THAN MOSLEY AND THEY WILL MAKE MORE MONEY!!!!!! The true is both fighters belong to Arum, SO HE WILL BE THE ONLY ONE MAKING BIG MONEY!!!! OLD BASTART!!!! MArgarito needs to prove he can win without cheating before fighting for a title again. Right now, he doesn't deserve that opportunity. I hope Cotto's team don't fall for this. The Money is with Mosley. More than half of Margarito's fan are gone after he was caught cheating!!!!!!:fire:fire:fire:fire:fire
well i cant say it surprises me, i mean boxing aint no charity, the mans gotta feeds his kids, well...his kids are probably already set, he's probably working on his great great grand kids these days, but still, he only cares about whats his pockets, not about whats inside Margarito's gloves
**** the money idiot of course it should be made, cotto wants/needs to restore his legacy by beating the only guy to beat him (by cheating) its a must fight......absolute must
Huh? This fight needs to happen. Cheating-cloud over first fight or not.. Cotto needs to beat Margarito to have any kind of legacy.
Ok. I am going to clear the water for the last comment. You guy are obviously not smart enough to see that far. Right now, the only reason for Cotto/Margarito2 would be pride. If Cotto beats him, they will say that was after Mosley knock him out. If Cotto losses, then Mosley will not have any interest on fighting Cotto. There will be more money on Margo/Mosley2 if thats the case. If Cotto fights Mosley now he will: 1) Make more money. 2) Have a chance to unify. And 3) Wins or lose against Mosley he could always fight Margarito later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COMPRENDE?????????????
This one is actually not too bad. Good time to see what really happened on marg vs cotto 1 .. If cotto can dominate marg on the rematch then we know for sure that marg is a cheating *******. Atleast thats one factor... Still doesnt take away the fact that arum is one dirty old greedy *******.
If I remember correctly, Cotto made a little over $5 million against Mosley and about $3 or $4 million against Margo. Arum is a lying, greedy *******.
You're a smart man Ricky. You're absolutely right. If Cotto beats Margo, everyone will say Margo is shot. So why should Cotto take less money to fight a possibly shot fighter when he could fight the man who just kicked the **** out of Margo for more money?
That's typical Bob Arum BS, but if it becomes official that Margarito did cheat, Cotto and the Puerto Rican fans will have revenge on their minds... But here comes the fun: if a) the commission confirms illegal handwrapping, Margarito will most likely be banned for 6 to 12 months both by the commission and the organizations, so there's no fight. But if b) the commission doesn't find anything illegal, it means the Margarito win was legit, no controversy, and a guy who was knocked out just a few days ago, simply doesn't deserve the rematch. Either way, Cotto-Margarito II doesn't sound too good at the moment. Cotto should fight Mosley for The Ring belt. That's THE WW fight that matters.
Nah. Ban for life, wipe his record. Make it as if he never existed. Cotto keeps his record. Cotto doesn't have to beat him. If he's a filthy ******* of a cheat right enough do you really think he deserves another pay day? No Way!! IMO his legacy remains untouched. Losing to a cheat don't count!!
Hold on a second,why is he an idiot?Just because you are a Cotto fan and want the rematch doesnt mean he cant look at the bigger picture and curse Arum. You obviously want the rematch to help your boy.Fine.Nothing wrong with fanboy bias and tunnel vision,but it doesnt make him an idiot because he refuses to fall into line with whatever Arum says.
You have zero proof he cheated against Cotto. ZERO. History won't write down that "maybe, maybe" he cheated against Cotto. It will go down Margarito TKO 11 Cotto.
Maybe people ought to wait until the whole story is out about Margo's handwraps before declaring him a cheater. As it stands right now, nobody besides HBO is saying that there was a "substance" on the wraps. Margo's trainer has said that they were just wrapped "too high" and thats why they had to re-wrap. Brother Nazim has made no statement about a substance being on the wraps, and neither has the commission. People are sure quick though to be judge, jury, and executioner before the whole story is even out. With that being said though, if it comes out that there WAS a substance on the wraps, then both Margo AND the guy wrapping him should both be suspended for at least a year., and have a sizable fine to go along with it. And rest assured, if there was something on the wraps, then Dean Louhis from the commission aint gonna just let it go. I know Louhis, and he doesnt play around.
