Boxing - Cotto vs. Margarito showdown starts shaping
Tuesday, 06.10.2008, 10:25am (GMT)

The history of boxing sports back in its origin to ancient Greeks who were the first who played this famous sporting game and sent it all over the world. Boxing is an incredible game, which has its fans as well. Actually, it can be played by two players who are entertained with the same weight. The winner will be announced as soon as his opponent fells on the ground full of pain and tired and could not stand on his feet again, within ten minutes from his fall. Universally, boxing champions are hold, while most countries cooperate in them with their heroes and media as well.

Considering the huge numbers of heroes and practitioners of boxing, we have now two famous names. The firstly is Cotto, and the secondly is Margarito.

Miguel Angel Cotto, whose nickname is Junito, was born in October, 1980. The twenty seventh years young man has a nationality of Puerto Rico. He is rated at welterweight. As to his boxing records, we see that he has a total fights esteemed with 32, while he won 32, won by KO 26, and didn't loss at all.

Cotto is considered in fact, the former WBO light welterweight champion. He is also considered the current WBA welterweight champion. Presently, he is ranking the seventh according to the famous magazine, The Ring's list of Pound for Pound. Cotto is considered also an amateur and continued in representing Puerto Rico in divisions of lightweight and welterweight as well in all universal competitions and champions too.

Cotto could maintain his title as a champion against Alfonoso Gomez, Shane Mosley, Zab Judah, and Oktay Urkal as well.            

Antonio Margarito, is a famous boxer, whose nationality is Mexican. He was born in March, 1978 in California, United States. His nickname is Tijuana Tornado. He was rated at welterweight also.

Margarito has a good boxing record as well. We can notice that his total fights are forty two, while he won 36 times, won by KO 26, and lost only 5.

Antonio Margarito could defeat Antonio Diaz in 2002 and could defend the crown to be regarded as an actual champion according to both The Ring and An Independent Magazines. In 2003, he could defeat Maurice Brantley in Arizona. By 2004, he back to welterweight and could defeat the undefeated at that time, Hercules Kyvelos, the Canadian.

Yet, in July, 2007, he lost his WBO belt by Paul Williams, but he could defeat Cintron in April, 2008 and recovered the IBF welterweight championship.

Now to answer the question of the title, who will win, Cotto or Margarito, we are expecting the coming July 26, whereas a championship will be hold at MGM Grand Garden, Las Vegas (PPV), to watch Miguel Cotto, Puerto Rico against Antonio Margarito, Mexico, 12, which will be actually for Cotto's WBA welterweight title.
