Margo takes Cotto zero away...you are next Floyd?

Question

do you think that cotto should get a rematch? after that wupp as*

Answer 1

Actually...styles make a fight.  Knew this would be a brain damage fight but thought Cotto had the better chin.  Marg's style is more suited for Mayweather's box and hit and run style.  Mayweather wanted no part of Cotto...not Marg.  MW will not stand and trade body shots like Cotto did which is his style anyway.  MW in 12th very similar to Hagler vs Leonard years ago.

Answer 2

Floyd is not that smart, he is an excellent boxer but he is afraid of Margarito.   I find it hard to digest when Floyd calls himself the best pound for pound when he avoided boxers like Margarito.  You are the best only when you've defeated the best, not when you avoided them.

Answer 3

i dont think he'll want one, but he'll likely take it. he was actually landing shots... he just wasn't hurting margarito. he ran like crazy from round 6 on out. he was getting hurt often and early, as he fight went on.

Answer 4

Mark my words: Miguel Cotto will never be the same again after tonight. If he fights Margarito again, he'll only be KO'd more quickly.

I suspect Cotto will take a couple of tune-ups and look pretty sharp, but as soon as he steps up to a world-class level again, he'll fade quickly.

Come to think of it, I wouldn't be surprised if Margarito started to get rocked a little easier going forward. There is only so much abuse a fighter can take. Think Diego Corrales.

Answer 5

The money fight is with De La Hoya.  Honestly as a Mayweather fan I don't want to see the fight between the two because it would be boring.  Floyd knowing he can't knock this guy out would 1-2 and slip the whole fight.  He would win rounds by scoring 5 shots to none and win on points.  What a smart boxer would do against Margarito is take it to the cards because Margarito used his head for defense.  I love the guy but that's who he is.  If you fight him head on, he will wear you down.  Why play his game?  Look at what happened to Cotto.  There's more then one way to win in boxing, and if you let the machismo get the better of you, you'll taste canvas when you  least expect it.

Answer 6

I don't think you'll see Cotto in a rematch with Tony anytime soon. Look for Cotto to take a little time off and regroup and then have a couple of lesser fights before he fights for the title again. I don't think you'll see Mayweather come out of retirement to fight Margarito either, though I do think Floyd presents a style problem for Margarito and would have the best shot to beat him. People have to remember that boxing is all about styles and how well they mesh. Just because Margarito beat Cotto convincingly doesn't mean he'll do the same thing to Floyd. Floyd is much faster than Cotto and has a much better defense and is a sharp counterpuncher. Floyd has the ability to box Margarito for 12 rounds and he can hit Tony from different angles and tie him up in close. Of course we know that Tony is gonna come to fight and bring the pressure, so it would be an intersting matchup to say the least.

I really think you're gonna see De La Hoya-Margarito next. Oscar wants to go out with a bang and what better way to do it than to go against Margarito! It'll be a tough fight for Oscar but Oscar has never ducked a challenge, and Tony won't have the size advantage over Oscar and Oscar has good speed and a good chin. I think Oscar can cause some problems for Margarito style-wise. I would love to see that matchup in December and I bet we're gonna get it.

Answer 7

I knew Margaro was gona beat the 5h1t out of Cotto.  It reminded me of Chavez vs. Camacho where Camacho kept running all the fight just like Cotto.  My respects to Cotto though because he took the fight against Margaro when Floyd and Mosely had turned him down.  Now we know their reasons for turning Margaro down.

Answer 8

Margarito wants to eat Oscar De La Hoya for breakfast now.

Answer 9

Would you even want one if you were him? The thing I don't get is how does Margarito have 5 losses? The guy has the hardest head I've ever seen.

Answer 10

I don't think cotto wants to take another beating. And MPowell Margerito lost those six fights when he was a young boxer fighting guys twice his age.

Answer 11

Floyd is too smart, he won't fight Antonio Margarito.

Answer 12

floyd? i bet since de la hoyas going to retire and cotto lossing, mayweathers pussys *** is going to come out of retirement
