    Cotto is slowly getting back to being Cotto prior to Margarito. How do you compare Margarito to GGG? I feel GGG is a much better fighter and in order for Cotto to beat GGG he will have to improve in some ways above and beyond his prime in order to beat GGG. Has he?

    He was impressive against Geale, but I would like to hear a technical argument on how Cotto has regain above and beyond his prime.

    Cotto is still shot obviously.

    The fact that he's still competing at this level is simply amazing.

    We must all give this man props, he has guts.

    :nonoHe won't be fighting Drainelo, he'll be fighting a full strength Canelo possibly much bigger due to a catchweight, Canelo will expose the reborn Cotto for the carefully matched smoke and mirrors show that he's been for the past year and a half.

    What has Cotto really done since Margarito beat the tar out of him & took his soul???

    What fights has he won???....

    Delvin Rodriguez .... A legit win against a club fighter
    Yuri Foreman... Was made to fight on by Mercante jr when he only had one good leg Cotto still couldn't put him away

    Rematch with Margarito... Despite Margarito being blind in one eye from round 2 and Cotto targeting & blatantly lacing the eye that was permanently damaged by Pacquaio, Margarito was coming on beating his chest as Cotto started wilting. Only then did that NY doc stop the fight. Not to save Margarito's eye but to save Cotto QUITTING AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
    His title win against what was merely a shell of Sergio Martinez mad him look far better than he was
    His Ko win over Daniel Geale who he weght drained down to his lowest fighting weight in years. Geale looked & fought like he was weak as a kitten & he probably was
    Cotto claims he is the lineal World Middleweight Champion now is the time to prove it Fight either GGG or Canelo at the proper 160 pound weight limit
    Show the boxing world he really is BACK!!!! If he did I'll be the first to apologize to him & call him CHAMP!!!!!!!

    Only in the eyes of brainwashed Mayweathers zombies That's their only pathetic defense they can think of because they know Mayweather was scared chitless of Margarito. That video on U tube shows Mayweather with a look of sheer terror on his face when face to face with TONY ROFLMAO there was no faking that Floyd messed his pants in FEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was:scaredas::scaredas::scaredas: :clap: :clap:

    Margarito was a fraud/cheater that lost to santos, p-will, sparked out by oldsley, bludgeoned by tiny pac, whooped by cotto without bricks...:deal truth is he was an ordinary fighter from mexico that was nothing special...

    Jan. '09 when he got exposed as a fraud was the demise of Margarito and the birth of Margacheato...

    Cheato definately would have used bricks on floyd, no doubt about it... smart move by Floyd to get more money fighting Baldo..

    He will probably lose to Alvarez.

    But even if he pulls that one off, neither Cotto nor Alvarez are a match for GGG.


    Alvarez would have the better chance of the two.

    Well, one thing is GGG won't be fighting with loaded gloves. Another big factor is the way in which Cotto fought Margoresto. He hit him with everything but the kitchen sink but refused to do things like tie Margoresto up to slow his momentum. He fought in a way with depleted his stamina badly and didn't do anything to negate Margoresto's offense. I think Cotto is a much smarter fighter now.

    Also, even though Margo was a cheat, he had great stamina. I don't believe Triple G has stamina anywhere near what Margocheato's was. Both guys are/were mainly effective at midrange. Cotto or anyone else would be wise to fight GGG in the pocket. The couple rounds that Monroe had success were from there but of course he lacked power like Cotto would bring to the table.
