You should all watch the tapes again and picture yourselves in the ring. Cotto Boxed and couldn’t keep him away. The Punshes to the head werent as effective as the ones Margarito received by Moseley. Moseley has Longer arms and can put his body into it. If Cotto would have punshed that way with his short arms he could’ve los balance and gotten knocked out in the earlier rounds. Different strokes for different folks. Cotto should just work extra on conditioning and now that he knows what Margarito’s best is like he should study every single move. Let’s see how far would Margarito get that way.

Cotto should just do what he was doing in the first 5 rounds. Cover himself more and work in his conditioning to last the 12 rounds with the same rythm. The other thing would be to watch any of the tricks Margarito has. Like illegal wrapping of the fist. That’s nothing u should be playing with. U could kill somebody that way and for you Mr. Know it all did you see Cotto’s face?? I would like to see you box someday and see if u have the same heart as he those. A Small guy taking the most feared boxer. COTTO is a complete representation of our ISLAND small, but with a big heart and we could beat any huge nation if we want to.

Man u are fool of caca. If Trinidad would have measured 5’7 against a 5’11 Margarito and gotten hit by the way Cotto got hit the fight would have been over like in the third round. Trinidad had good hooks, but a weak chin and he had tasted floor more than a hand full of times in the welterweight, junior middle weight, and middle weight division. For a 5’11 guy that is unusual. Trinidad was good lets just say he was an exciting boxer to watch, but he is no COTTO. Cotto is Rocky. They should make o movie out of him.

talking about the trinidad and margarito matchup trinidad is the only puncher who had a chance of breaking down margaritos jaw and if trinidad would take his career more seriuos than the last few years that fight probably would be happening.iIT WOULD BE A GREAT FIGHT!

Cotto tried but failed miserably.

He will never be the same after that beat down. He was broken down from head to toe and does not deserve a rematch, he may want to go back and fight jr. welters again.

personally, i think cotto needs to train harder. he ran out of gas. some fighters train harder than others. when a fighter tires out in the 7th or 8th round, something is wrong physically or he did not train. some of these new young guys could never fight 15 rounds. as far as taking a knee, it can be a good tactic if you are overwhelmed and need space. cotto needed space. he just needs to train harder. do more anaerobic work.

I’ll draw attention to David haye v Enzo maccarinelli. If Enzo had been sensible enough to take a knee when Haye caught him, he might have seen the end of round two.

It’s not dirty in the same way as a low blow surely is and it still counts as aknockdown so there’s the obvious point deficit you incur, too.

It’s the last defence of the brokwn fighter and it’s understandable. I remember doing three rounds as an amateur and praying for the bell to end it – had I done ten rounds with Antonio margarito I’d have dropped to both knees and invoked the virgin mary.

Trinidad got smashed by Hopkins and went to sleep on the canvas. Cotto was a smart fighter and if he’d have got counted out it could have hurt him more in the long run. Winky is hardly an animaland Jones let Trinidad off the hook big time. To suggest Cotto is gutless is just the opinion of a trinidad nut-hugger who hates the fact their is a new boy in PR town.
