I actually have to say Cotto, because I don't think he has the tools to avoid getting KO'd. Read it and weep: This content is protected * And that is REALLY saying something, because we all know how little This content is protected wants anything to do with the TJ Tornado. Cotto is now getting into the same zone that PBF is in: Having very limited options of guys he can fight without a significant chance of losing. If Paul Williams comes to fight, he beats Cotto. As does Margarito. As does Mayweather. This is why Cotto is looking for fights like Mayorga. Same for Floyd: He can't fight Margarito, would have one hell of a time against Williams, and would be in for a true contest against Cotto (although I think he would win and have an easier time against Cotto than either PW or AM). So are we going to see a bidding war between Miguel Smurf and Pretty Wussy to see who gets to fight Carlos Quintana or Ricardo Mayorga? We'll see. But if Cotto decides to step in the ring with Margarito, don't expect him to last the fight. He doesn't have nearly the speed or defense of Floyd, and Margarito will tower over him and be in his face all night until Cotto goes Cintron and collapses to the canvas.
not because of the danger, but because these guys are on the level where they want to make money. I personally think that Margarito should get back at Paul Williams v Carlos Quintana winner ... A fight between Margarito and Cotto is a fight that I would love to see, and the winner would get the right to call out Mayweather for a potential fight. But Arum is truly trying to sell Margarito to Floyd and to Cotto when they don't see any point financially to a fight against him. Margarito hasn't been handled right and now has been forced in the mix - because Arum knows he messed up with this guy ... his star power should be up there with both guys but it hasn't been for some reason -
Dan Rafael says Cotto's fighting Margarito next so doesnt look like he's avoiding him. "While Floyd Mayweather Jr. fiddles, the loaded welterweight division moves on without him. Now, the stage is set for the biggest showdown the 147-pounders have to offer minus the "Money" man: Miguel Cotto vs. Antonio Margarito. Circle July 26 on your calendars, site to be determined." http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/columns/story?columnist=rafael_dan&id=3344439
Props to Cotto for having the guts to step in with him, if this is true. Floyd? Same as it ever was. Out picking from the cherry tree, again.
The link to the article is ridiculous, this guy obviously is on margaritos bozack...he states in this article that he felt Mosley beat Cotto ( which no boxing anylist or expert had agreed to that ) and that Cotto also didn't look impressive against Margarito last night...therefore stands no chance against AM...i don't know but sounds like this guy is either Mexican or forgot to remove his tourniqate and meth suringe from his arm before he watched these fights...bum
Cotto is going to be run over, and it's going to be ugly. He has nothing that will slow Margo down, including the body shots. He has a very slim chance of lasting the fight, and if he does, he will be permanently affected like a Vargas after Tito. He is going to take a hellacious beating. At least he can learn how to hit the canvas from Cintron.
whatever ... you were right about last night (CottoIsGod) but don't act like you know the fight game well. stylistically that fight (margarito v cotto) will be great -- no one knows who's going to win ... Margarito has an iron chin ... both fighters are prone to cuts ... Margarito also fights well on the inside.
