Doesn't impact my decision. It's like saying that Margo was hurt badly when he fougft Clottey. Margo at most was frozen for a moment by a hook, but that's about the extant of the damage that result. Same instance here...and I don't even think it had that much of an effect.
Wobble or not (which I didn't see him do), Cotto is goin' to school Margarito.. Cotto will get to work early, will be able to hit Margo with accurate counter-punches and body shots, and he will bust a cut on Margo.. There might not be a KO, but Cotto is going to outclass Margarito..
Chins don't get better anyways. So it's a moot point. The only reason Cotto didn't get knocked down or out against Mosley/Judah is because neither of them are quality finishers at this point in their careers. Judah is more explosive so he could make Cotto wobble, but he has the same issues. He doesn't have a consistent enough attack to get the job done. Mosley doesn't either. And Gomez was just horribly outclassed. Most of us who picked Gomez only picked him because Cotto may have overlooked him. That should give you an indication of where Gomez stands in the 147lb crowd. I'll say it again. Margarito has fight ending power. It may not seem like it but let him hit Cotto with a couple flush body shots and see if Cotto still wants to come forward. You never know come fight time Margarito may just decide to try and end the fight in the first few rounds. If he loads up on every punch it isn't impossible that he decks Cotto and keeps him there.
I don't recall Cotto being hurt at all in that fight. But I'll concede to the point that mabe Cotto's legs did wobble for a sec. All that being said, do you think Cotto was seriously hurt by Gomez causing his legs to wobble? That seems to be your part in this back and forth you've been in. If you think Cotto was really hurt or in any danger, then just state it outright. If you don't think Cotto was hurt at all or in any danger, then you just arguing for the sake of arguing.
And what part of Margarito clearly beating Clottey did you not get? :huh I looked over most of your posts in this thread. You're better at trying to be funny then you are actuallty dissecting a fight, which you haven't done. You can cry all you want about Clottey's hand, but knuckles bruise in fights all the time (that's what it wasm, not any broken bones). Some have the heart to fight through it, some don't. Not to mention Clottey won the first few rounds against a slow starter. Anyone who considers themselves as unbiased should address that tidbit.
What pattern...that he gets hit? :huh You're not presenting any new information with that. If Cotto wasn't hurt, thern who really gives a **** if you think his legs wobbled. And please, people mention a fighters legs getting wobbly to try and show they were hurt. Which was clearly not the case against Gomez.
It's not completely immaterial. Gettnig wobbled is not the same for every fighter and should be discussed in a case by case scenario. The most important thing is, at no point was Cotto in any danger of losing to Gomez.
I'm not Mexican dummy. I'm white. And that's besides the point. Are you disputing any point in that post? Obviously not. Asking me if I watched the fights has no bearing on my post. Btw I did watch both of them. You have the same illogical grade-given arguments as the teenagers on this forum. Sad indeed. Cotto is the better boxer But better boxers have been getting their asses kicked by better sluggers since the dawn of licensed boxing matches. Nothing will be different here. Oh and one more bubble to burst. Clottey didn't have a broken hand. He had a bruised knuckle. Choke on it. :hi:
More stupidity. So now a bruised knuckle is excuse to stop working? No, I think accumulative punches on the arms and on the shoulders had plenty to do with Clottey being GASSED midway through the fight. As if he hadn't proven that already against Gutierrez and Baldomir. I think you need to watch somemore of Clottey to see the real deal. Just be here after the fight. Don't go missing like a slumlord. :rofl
Can't understand all those Margarito by KO posts, it's not like Margarito has one punch KO power, he needs to land and land A LOT to be able to seriously put Cotto in a position where he's about to get stopped and Cotto will come prepared for that. Cotto might not have the best chin but it's not glass either, his chin is good and can take Margarito's shots and the fight will prove it. Cotto by UD.
Margarito does not need one punch KO power to score a KO. If he can hurt Cotto, he can go for the kill. One punch to hurt you, a few more to put you down.
