    Generally speaking, I agree. There are exceptions to the rule obviously.

    Its gonna be harder pressure if the punches are harder. Margarito is yet to hurt any fighter in 3 fights minus plaster

    Cotto wasn't sitting down on his punches in that fight. They were quick flurries whilst on the backfoot. He needs to get into the pocket and give him some real hurtful shots then bback out again. Maybe then he can stop Margo coming at him strong in the later rounds. My moneys on Margorito though

    Unless the Pac beatdown has taken it's toll on Margarito's ability to take a punch. Then you would have to make him the favourite. Cotto boxed beautifully for the opening four rounds of the first fight but could not find the power to hurt him or back him up. Even in fights when he is not put under such extreme pressure he has tended to fade in the later rounds. This unfortunately will be his undoing again.

    I hope I'm wrong because I'm a massive Cotto fan.

    Cotto is a great guy but I think Margarito has got his number.

    Cant believe how one sided it is on this forum, if you stuck it in the general with a poll, I guarantee the majority would go with Cotto:lol:

    talk of this fight happening at 150 which means that aids Cotto more.
