    I have been seeing people making a big deal about the staredown between Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito at their final press conference today in Las Vegas. So I decided to started a thread for those who wanted to comment on what they saw.

    For me, I saw nothing other than Margarito is taller and Cotto looks at his opponent with the face of a dispassionate, cold terminator patiently waiting to take out his next challenger. Let's just get July 26th here already and answer the question of who is the best welterweight currently in the world.

    I felt there was a lot of intensity and it was very foretelling of the fight itself. Two guys who will not back down from one another and are tough as nails.

    Margarito is in trouble? For the 6th time he will lose? Yes, he has 5 losses.

    I wonder if Cotto's opponents get intiminated or nervous by his staredown..

    Oddly, I had a strange dream that Margarito stopped Cotto with a body shot, and I'm picking Cotto to win. Looking forward to this one.

    People seem to think Tony was bothered by that staredown. It made me laugh though.

    I dont think some of yall dont understand it so let me explain it in ebonics....
    What Miguel Cotto Does in his stare downs is "son" you
    its basically a verb that means to

    3. lessen the authority, dignity, or reputation of; "don't belittle your colleagues"

    an example of this...
    for those of you with fathers who were very serious and you were intimidated of when you were little...
    if you were little and you were running around and you either broke something or did or said something completely stupid....
    and before your dad would even say a word..

    HE WOULD JUST GIVE YOU THAT LOOK!!

    :fire
    it was kind of that look where you could feel the flames radiating off his body..and you knew that if you continued to act stupid... you were either getting beat-punished or both

    now back to cotto

    in cotto's stare downs he sons you
    and he lets you know that when he comes into the ring hes going to **** you up by that stare...

    theres nothing you can do about it .. its inevitable that at some point your going to have to meet up with that man in the ring and he is going to be in your ass for 12 of the hardest rounds of your life.... now unless you dont have strong will hes going to roll right over that ass...

    just like your parents used too..
    hope that cleared up the whole stare down thing


    NOW SOMEONE GIVE ME A DAMN LINK!!!!!!!!

    *MIGUEL COTTO STAREDOWN*

    Nothing happened. Cotto gave Margarito his cold stare and Margarito didn't flinch.

    Anyone who thinks Margarito of all people would be bothered by that is really digging.
