If Cotto fought Tony the 1st time like he did the 2nd time, he would have won..

[-jose-]

what's so hard to believe about it?
didn't say he was more worried about Mosley
he was worried about protecting his newfound status
he woulda loaded up after that no matter who it was, not just Mosley
Cotto fans gotta stop crying about this shit
Tony became a star with the Cotto fight
if he had to cheat to stay there, he was willing
how good do you think Cotto is? :laugh:
the guy is ok, he's not great at all
he got his ass kicked by a man he couldn't hurt
just let it go, he got a win in the rematch

So trying to cheat is how you protect
"his new found status"
that still makes your a cheater....right?

Cotto's mistake in the first fight was that he thought he could stop Marg.

He also got his nose busted in the 2nd which affected his breathing and stamina.

And like you said he never clinched, pushed and spoiled.

Straight after the first fight I knew if there was a rematch Cotto would win.

That basically sums it up.

2nd fight didn't prove a goddamn thing
Tony's face just fell apart
Cotto gets some props, but that fight was inconclusive
neither guy was quite what they were in 08 in the rematch
Tony won the 1st fight fair and square, get over it

No way, if you use that logic, Cotto's face fell apart in the first fight and that's why he lost.(sounds ignorant to me) It don't make sense. Go look at Cotto's face after the fight was stopped in the 2nd fight and then compare it to the way his face looked in the 10th round of the first fight. There's no comparison and just about the same amount of punches were landed.

He was using plaster andd there's nothing indicating that he didn't.

people act as if pacquiao was the only person to break someones orbital bone,cotto did it to pauli, vitaly did to briggs yet you don't hear people say oh paulie face is swelling up but thats only because cotto broke his orbital bone.

Little Stevie Forbes broke Oscar's orbital bone..

This fight was much different, wasn't it...Cotto didn't get trapped in the ropes, no vicious uppercuts like the 1st fight, Cotto stayed off the ropes, he kept moving laterally, turning tony, landing pricise combos, staying on the move to avoid getting pressured, even pressureing Tony, pushing him back.
So yeah, Cotto learned. (in response to your response to me about Cotto not learning)

What did Tony learn? He didn't even bother to protect his eye, he never learned to box properly, never learned good defense, he wouldn't listen to his corner screaming at him to STOP following Cotto around, to cut off the ring, Tony didn't learn that, Basically Tony didn't learn anything, or do anything different, but Cotto fought a completely different fight. Tony learned he lost the fight...
the end.

The fight was different because of Tony's eye and beating he took from Mosley..

He was no longer the most feared man in boxing in the 2nd fight..

In the first fight Tony was brimming with confidence..

you saying the second fight didn't prove anything,Margaritos face
fell apart...Lol
How do you think it fell apart?
I'll answer: Cotto took it apart, and don't say "thanks to Pacquiao"
that's played out...
First fight Margarito did win BUT
FAIR and SQUARE you don't even believe that

"I can't feel my face,I felt like I was getting hit with rocks" -Cintron after the fight with Antonio Margarito

Yeap, that was incredible when I saw and noticed his comments (after the Mosley and Cotto scandals).

Margarito is a CHEATER. No questions asked. He should had been banned for life.

Thank you for acknowledging that
I posted the same thing before
if you put all the pieces together
it spells out:C H E A T E R

Margarito was also impacted by losing his eye for most of the fight. Which is the direct result of his eye injury from his previous fight. It played a big factor, and it's impossible to say for sure how the fight would have gone had his eye not closed from trauma on an eye that had just had work/healed.

I agree Tony losing his eye by round 3 played a big factor too.. Good point
