I really think that the fight can go two routes. One such avenue is a brawl; in this scenario, it favors Margarito but really is a tossup since both Cotto and Margarito are the two most violent fighters in the sport who want to hurt their opponent, let alone in the same division: welterweight. So either Cotto or Margarito can win by stoppage. The second avenue is a technical fight which I can only see Cotto doing since he has shown, especially in the Mosley fight, his boxing skills. Margarito has only shown that he wants to brawl. A technical fight may be boring to fans but can be one way in which Cotto can win the fight.
Are you really laughing out loud? Mosley is a far superior boxer than Margarito. Don't compare the two.
Yeah I watched it live. That fight was also last November, Cotto has no doubt improved since then. I'm not talking about the Gomez fight either, that means nothing to me. Margarito may time his punches but he's going to pay for it. Mosley may be over the hill but considering he has never been stopped in his career, I can't go too hard on Cotto for not being the first one to accomplish the task.
Could go 12, but it will be a very brutal fight. I will not be surprsed if Margarito knocks Cotto out. Still, could go either way.
Cotto is going to box his way to a UD. I don't think this fight isn't going to be an all out brawl like everyone expects.
Are you suggesting Mosley-Vargas II was fought on equal terms? Wow. Please. Mosley made the plunge from 135 to all the way up to 154, and only once was in trouble, that coincidentally occurred after a bad clash of heads. Which is astonishing conisdering his level of opposition. Margarito's been down on 3 occassions and rocked by fighters not known for punching power like Joshua Clottey and Daniel Santos. His durability is primarily based on his fights with Kermit Cintron and other subpar comp.
I guess Santos and Clottey must load their gloves... This content is protected This content is protected
Either way, the rematch was as one-sided as you can get it. Saying it was fought on even terms, shows either a., you didn't see the fight, or b. , you're a liar. LOL @ the younger aspect. The fights were 5 months apart. And how am I reaching with durability "crud." Anyone who has been following Boxing for a while knows, Shane has a proven chin and durability against elite fighters. As I said in my previous posts, Margarito's durability is proven against lesser competition. And who gives a ****? Apparently, you being that after those GIFs put your "can't rock with a baseball bat" theory to rest, you felt the need to make **** up, or at least imply **** that never happened. Urkal. Now Malignaggi. Good ****.
Translation; "I'm gonna pull the fan boy card, and pretend your posts weren't made with any objectivity, in order to hide the fact that I can't respond with anything of substance. I'm right and you're wrong." Great logic there, budy. :good
