PrintIn just five days, Miguel Cotto will climb back into the ring with Antonio Margarito, three and a half years after their epic and later highly controversial first meeting, for a rematch at Madison Square Garden. Here's HBO's Greatest Hits video for Miguel Cotto:

The lineup of fights chosen is what you'd expect, so let me note a few things I thought while watching this video:
- Miguel Cotto with hair is weird.
- I now am more convinced than ever that Amir Khan didn't hit Zab Judah with a low blow. I'd forgotten exactly how dramatically Zab reacts when actually hit with a low blow. If Khan had gotten him low, he'd have flopped around and screamed.
- Jim Lampley's old Miguel Cotto love was really out of this world. Way worse than any bias they show toward Manny Pacquiao or anyone else. I especially love how Lampley compliments Cotto's decision to throw Clottey on the mat. I mean, it's not that I have anything against what Cotto did (Clottey kind of asked for it, boxing is hard, etc.) but to act like it's a great three-punch combination or something is wild.
- Miguel Cotto is a really good fighter and I think his legacy will age pretty well.
- Yuri Foreman's corner should have come in when Mercante DID stop the fight and thrown 10 straight towels in his face.

Mercante’s license should have been revoked right after the fight…………………one of the worst ref jobs I’ve seen.
That was nothing. You should have seen him in the Pernell-Hurtado fight and in the Scotland-Jones

I liked the Cotto/Mosely fight,
That fight kind of awoken something in Shane, it seem like he got his confidence back. He really let his hands fly, even in future fights. But i wished that Mosely had the chance to fight Berto, I still wondered how that fight would have gone and where both those guys would have ended up afterward.
It was my favorite Cotto fight
Dude was on point in that fight…also the first Mosley fight where I felt he started to slow down. Cotto was beating him to the punch and Cotto was never that fast to begin with.

I swear Clottey headbutts every world level opponent he has faced.

I don’t think he head butted Margarito
I like Clottey when he fights. The man throws wicked uppercuts. But he is mentally not championship stock.

I blame a lack of a world class trainer.
I would love to see him under the wing of a top level coach. He has the power to do some damadge, and i like his combos. He justs needs to man up and let his hands go!
Also i <3 Coto. Man never backs away from a challange
(less so since the Margaritto II fight)
Lost respect with the stupid 153 catch weight. WHATS THE POINT.
“Fuck Margarito” is the point.

LOL
but 1lb is not that big an advantage. Its just a joke.
Who do you see cotto fighting if he gets passed Margarito?
It’s no real advantage at all. It’s just dick measuring, basically.
If Cotto wins, I really have no idea. He could fight Chavez if he wants to. He could fight Margarito a third time. He could take 2012 off and it wouldn’t surprise me at all.
