For my Rican brothers....please give Margo his deserved props. Cotto's words were, " we both did our jobs tonight, but Margarito did his better...this was his night" Mosely did the same when he fought Cotto, " I tip my hat to Cotto the best man won tonight" Feelings and bias to the side....be objective, fair and honest. These men showed themselves to be above the fray,,,so give them that respect.
It's fighters like Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley, Antonio Margarito, and Manny Pacquiao that keep the fight game alive.
Cotto has always showed character inside the ring and outside of it. These guys: Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Pac are what make this sport great.
true fighters who actually do the talking in the ring unlike some guys who say they are going to do this and that and when they get in the ring they run.
I like Margarito, but he is a whiner! And it rubs off on his fans! "I started late!" - as if he didn't hear the bell to round 1. "he didn't knock me down or out" - as if he or no one else has ever won a fight by decision before. "He might fight the winner of Clottey/Judah" - despite the fact that he and Paul had a rematch clause in their first fight agreement; and it never happened.
Don't forget Kelly Pavlik! He definitely deserves to be mentioned with them in terms of his great character.
Big respect to both of them. Having fighters like Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Jmm, Pacman, Calzaghe, and Wlad bring honor to the sport. It's ashame other fighters like Pbf and Haye have to try to ruin it.
