    Would be hoping he does because if he doesn't then I think you'll see me criticise SO much that you'll think we're swapping positions. :lol:

    If Cotto loses it won't affect him THAT bad, I mean Margarito is still highly regarded and he's coming off a loss to Williams recently so he's not in a horrible position either BUT if Margarito loses then it's nearly over for him which will be sad to see, that's why I'm rooting for him. Though I'm picking Cotto by UD, Margarito does have a good chance and TKO/stoppage is my pick, can't see him win a decision. Let's just hope!

    Great talking with you too. :thumbsup

    Nice talking with you

    Compukiller is just being funny. I like Cotto but no way he gets rid of the 147 elite in 2 rounds. And by that I mean any of the top 147lb guys. He's not that kind of puncher.

    I'm just ****ing with Lance, but I do believe this will be a competitive fight.

    I think Cotto has the talent, but Margo's style and height may prove ultimately a bridge too far for Cotto.

    How these dudes talk about Floyd boys etc etc. When they are margarito sack chasers. ...... Anyway, A bruised knuckle or dislocated knuckle hurts worse then a bruised wrist. Clottey bruised his hands bouncing it off of margaritos thick skull. Margarito hurt his wrist punching Clotteys guard all night. And I do mean missing damn near every single punch and landing on his guard....ALL NIGHT. Lets talk about faces..lol Margarito looked like the elephant man and was more swollen then ever before. Clottey looked the damn same and was holding his finger after 12 rounds with the tornado and basically said after the fight he was nothing special..lol

    Say what you want, but I don't think Amb_def or I even come close to being sack chasers. We are much more realistic about him and his chances then you are. Why don't you go back to defending murderers in the lounge dude. :roll: We've been having a nice discussion here.

    :lol: :rofl

    On a serious note....how funny would it be if Margo beat Cotto and DLH beat Mayweather, both convincingly?

    Then everyone on here would be hollering for DLH vs. Margo.

    What would be even more hilarious is if Margarto beats Cotto and Mayweather beats DLH.

    2006 all over again. :rofl

    :lol:

    Honestly, if Margo wins, he would deserve a PBF fight (win or lose against DLH).

    I scored the fight 7-5 for Marg. I don't know what fight the one judge who scored it 10-2 for Marg was watching as Clottey clearly won the first 4 rounds. I gave the 8th to Clottey also when he landed about 5 really flush shots which offset Margs activity. The 12th was close but i gave it to Marg.

    I think i might have overestated the impact of the left hand injury but it did affect him. He was clearly controlling the fight before he hurt his hand. Clottey's very talented. He can beat a lot of people.

    Are you kidding me?, you barely know what the HELL you're talking about. The reason why Margarito didn't go for Cotto is because Cotto was set to fight Mosley instead so Margarito fought another undefeated fighter in Williams but lost which pushed a fight with Cotto away some more till he pulled it back by beating Cintron in a rematch and grabbing the IBF belt. As far as being ducked you can't really prove he was ducked till you mention how and the situation behind it, not just "Cotto refuses to fight Marg" OHHHH he's ducking him, that's the WWE method you're using, you might want to stick to facts instead.

    Cotto-Margarito was set in early 2007. Top Rank even released a press release announcing the fight for June. Margarito originally was going to fight in the co-feature to Cotto-Urkal against David Estrada to build up the fight. But he turned the spot time because he said needed time to recover from the injuries that hampered him in the Clottey fight, and eventually opted to defend against his mandatory instead. Cotto-Mosley wasn't even considered until the summer of 07, long after Margarito-Williams was made.

    Of all the Margo fights they are going to show that one! Tony looked so bad in that fight and his defense sucked
