What will be better for margarito, a match with de la hoya or a rematch with cotto?

Question

i think a rematch with cotto would be the right thing to do. think about it the first was probably the fight of the year and both fighters are in there prime. Margarito will get huge purses for either fight

Answer 1

Money- Delahoya, he is a bigger risk because if tony loses he loses some of his shine and market ability. and by beating oscar he gains very little seeing as how oscar has lost previously to bhop,mosely,trinidad,mayweather, and i am gonna even throw in sturm(who was robbed),

Respect and legacy- cotto, he proved he was the better fighter that night and unles he wants to go the money mayweather route, will have a rematch but just not immediately.

he will earn more fighting oscar but i don't see him trying to cash in on a quick buck and then trying to fight cotto that would be 3 straight hard fights for him which would be dumb. I would think he should get the mandatory defense out of the way first then go for some big names.

Answer 2

Oscar has said December 6 would be his last fight, so it's more convenient for Margarito to fight the golden boy for all the benefits(if Oscar doesn't back down). After that he can take a rematch against the tall Paul to avenge his loss and secure him as the champion. I think Cotto should have a couple of other good fights to boost his confidence again for the rematch with Tornado. A rematch will have more attraction and would be great to see. Money is looking good for Margarito(ofcourse depends on the other fighters). I'm not sure if his knockout over Cotto will encourage fighters who already avoided him before to fight him.

Answer 3

Let's face it...De la Hoya made it obvious that he wants no part of Margarito. In a rematch against Cotto, the result could be the same just because Tony is too big for Cotto. The fight I would love to see is a Margarito/Williams rematch for the WBA/WBO Welterweight Championship. That would be the best match for Margarito, because he can try to avenge his last loss.

He offered a lot of money to Hatton, but Hatton didn't accept the offer to fight Oscar.

Answer 4

i would like to see a rematch against cotto although margo would make more money fighting de la hoya but de la hoya is just in it for the money but cotto has alot of passion for boxing and margo has all that determination wich will make it a good rematch.

Answer 5

Cotto vs Margarito(rematch):

well in the rematch with cotto i would PROBALY have my doubts for cotto to win cause margarito proved he aint no push over and can take a h**l of a shot. i see the rematch going slow in the begining because cotto would be more aware and cotto will go to the body more, but i bet margarito would also be aware of that, i hate to say it but cotto would probaly lose again. (also we all know that margarito puts pressure and he would do it again. cotto is a fighter that is still building up his overall boxing skills and i beleive is close to reaching his prime but not just yet.)

Margarito vs De La Hoya:

Now this is a fight that would be very interesting, to me De la hoya is one of the best boxers in the sport, is a boxer that "operates like a surgen" and has been in the ring with champions and has very great experience. If this fight were to happen, i would see a replay of the De la hoya/trinidad fight. Margarito will keep coming forward and de la hoya would pick his shots and throw combinations towards margarito. I beleive it would be a very tough fight for Margarito. now people say that de la hoya gets tired in a fight quickly because of the trinidad fight. I dont beleive it because de la hoya learned alot from that fight and was just crusing rounds so he wouldn't be at risk for a lost. And beleive it or not no matter what anyone says, i beleive De la hoya has power to knock down margarito. De la hoya is tall and has been in the boxing game for his whole life. in the 1st round he knocked down Maryorga, and mayorga was best known at the time for the fighter with the best chin. it would also be good for margarito because people would remember him for beating the weltter weight champion(cotto) and beating the golden boy(de la hoya).I would pay lots to see this fight

Answer 6

money wise Oscar, but he also has a better chance beating De La hoya, if he fight cotto again he will lose, Cotto can beat him, Cotto just neads to be cotto in the ring and not try to do moves he's never done before, margarito aint ****, if Paul can beat I him Cotto can beat him

Answer 7

He'll surely make more money for a fight with De La Hoya but it would also be a no-win situation for Margarito. If he beats Oscar people are just gonna say that he beat an old, over the hill De La Hoya and if he loses then people are gonna say that he wasn't as good as people thought because he lost to a past his prime Oscar. I think career-wise another Cotto win would be better for him because like you said, both guys are still in their primes and to beat a prime Cotto twice would really be something good on Margarito's resume. I think a rematch with Paul Williams is the fight he should seek right now because he can avenge the loss to Williams and then he'd really be on a roll if he does that.

Answer 8

neither he should fight hatton and watch margo get whooped
