    lol yea the chincek dance was and always will be a legendary moment in boxing. but in all honesty, i think everyone will agree, an 11 ronud ass whooping is worse than a 1 round ass whooping with a chicken dance at the end. but i see where your going, haha its funny yea yea, but cotto brutalized him worse.

    alright alright, my fault :lol: im getting ahead of myself. Im just very wary of margo fans now because they have been bashing Cotto way to much with no merit. Im a big Margo fan, yea he is exciting, yea he is fun to watch and supoprt but the way his fans are bashing cotto is ridiculous.

    c mon now what are you talking about.... zab almost dropped cotto... if he was more disciplined and if you subtract the nut shots... zab had a good chance...

    Pac I give credit for taking on any fighter and cleaning out 130lbs however he has fought 3 really good fighters with one loss, close calls, and in everyones opinion who isnt philipino lost two times to marquez. He now moved up to 135 but imo has to beat a solid champ to really move up. dont get me started about joe until he fights pavlik.

    zab was TAXING kostyas ass in the first round of a two round fight, are you crazy?? Zab ALMOST dropped Cotto...woulda, coulda, shoulda but didnt and he caught hell for it. Think about what your saying for a second...one RIGHT HAND. yes, it was more impressive and legendary but im talking in terms of a brutal beating and 11 round body, left hook, right hand fest is a little worse.

    I like both guys. Too often my analysis of a fight gets broken down into I hate this one, and I like the other one.

    I'm not Mexican so toss that theory out of the window. I'm white and I just like to see fights like these. If I pick one way or another it's just because I see him having more of an advantage.

    Should Cotto win it puts him squarely in competition for the top two spots P4P. If he would have gotten Mayweather it would be a no brainer. So figure on Margarito, Williams and Clottey. If he does that he gets #1 on the strength of cleaning out the deepest division in boxing. Something neither of the top two can lay claim to.

    On paper, I would say yes.
    With "Fight" being the key word.

    But to date, Torres is without a doubt his hardest fight. (IMO)

    I have massive respect for both guys, and that will not change with the outcome of this fight. They are both among my current favorites, and they will both remain among my favorites. The boxing world needs more guys like Cotto and Tony, and fewer guys like the dude in my avatar.

    I expect Cotto to destroy Margarito, as Margarito is a glorified gate keeper. Watch the explosion afterwards, they even wanted to move Cotto up P4P for beating Gomez.:rofl

    This will just be a solid win, the win over Mosely, even close, means so much more.

    I disagree. Cotto beat Zab up (Actually, Zab beat him up too). Nady stopped Zab's fight with Judah way to prematurely IMO. Who knows how that fight would've ended had it been allowed to continue. Zab hardly took any punishment in the Tzyu fight, therefore I maintain that Cotto beat him worse. :good
