Miguel Cotto vs Antonio Margarito set for July 26th

[Tony]

De La Hoya could beat Margarito and I think he will if they fight.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

SHUT UP TONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ur the one that jinxed this fight, picking cotto to win damn it

 

[REdRUM]

De La Hoya cannot and will not beat Margarito. At this point in their careers, Cotto is the far better boxer, and he couldn't beat him.

LOL... I knew he was going to lose soon I just didn't know it would be to Margarito.... you kept getting on me for picking against Cotto, so blame yourself for influencing my pick. Just kiddin'... I really did think Cotto was going to win.

De La Hoya would handle Margarito if they fought.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

de la hoya aint handling Margarito, he's got knocked out for the second time of his career. shit, he might not even be able to handle pacquiao, who more then likely will be his last opponent (which is a disgrace to the sport!).

 

[Tony]

De La Hoya would score at least a few knockdowns against Margarito. We'll see if the fight happens. I give Margarito credit but De La Hoya would take him to school.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

HAHAHAHA!!! what are you smokin tony? How can ODH knock down Mr. Iron face Margarito?? Cotto who is regarded as one of the top punches in the WW division landed combo's at will and Margarito didn't even budge. ODH couldn't even hurt Stevie Forbes who is a nutural 135 pounder!!!!!!!!!!

 

[REdRUM]

ROFL @ Oscar knocking down Margarito. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oscar couldn't hurt Felix Strum, Stevie Forbes, Floyd Mayweather...but he'll knockdown Margarito?

 

[Tony]

Styles make fights... De La Hoya would eat Margarito for lunch.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

why do you think ODH isn't fighting Margarito then if it's so easy? How come he said he'll fight the winner of Cotto/Margarito if the winner is Cotto? lol, he wants nothing to do with Margarito.

He wants Mayweather/Cotto/Pacquiao/Hatton. Why? Because all of these guys are hella smaller then him (Cotto started at 140, Hatton 140, Mayweather pfffft probably best at 135, Pacman 135). He's scared to fight anyone his same size cuz he knows he'll get hurt.

He wants Mayweather/Cotto/Pacquiao/Hatton. Why?

I think it's because none of them are mexican.

 

[CALICOE509]

CANT SAY NOTHIN REALLY ON BOTH ENDS BUT IT WAS ONE HELL OF A FIGHT, IM HAPPY TO PAY MY CABLE BILL ON THAT FIGHT

 

[m.w.merlino]

Goddamn I loved that fight. Cotto looked amazing and so did Margarito. It was pretty interesting watching Cotto get torn down like that, Margs earned it.

 

[kayvee]

cotto got moooooooppped.

~k.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

DLH would beat Margarito.



If it was 1998.

 

[Thir$ty B]

Did you see what freaking Steve Forbes did to Oscar's face!?!?! He wouldn't have a head left if he fought Margarito.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

lol, no kidding. Oscar actually admitted there was a hairline fracture on his skull, by his eye after the fight.

If he fought Margarito his face would resemble something like this:

 

[m.w.merlino]

Cotto only proved to me that he is getting better as a fighter and has many dimensions. Every time I see him fight his game is on point, different, and sharp. Margarito had a ridiculous chin, that won the fight for him. Anyone else would have crumbled before then.

I agree with you. I've seen Cotto really develop into a great fighter. Honestly I didn't like him at first, but after Judah I became a fan. Then I watched all his old fights and basically watched him getter better with every fight.

I think it was a good sign against mosley though that margarito was a bad opponent for him. At 147 he doesn't have the same power as he did at 140, and he got hurt and ran out of gas at the end of mosley fight, difference was he was able to out box mosley and keep him at bay when he was in trouble. Margarito is a different kind of beast all together though - he doesn't get hurt, he doesn't get tired and he never stops punching. that's tough for anyone to handle, especially if you're smaller. I think cotto underestimated his chin. Also, because of margarito's nonstop punching, cotto couldn't get off body shots, he would have left himself wide open for uppercuts. I don't think he anticipated that either.
