    I'm not saying Margarito has no chance against Floyd, but have you ever seen Floyd gas out? If Margarito can hit him enough to slow him down (probably not) then he can beat Mayweather too. :thumbsup

    Hard to say because even with the handwraps, it was margaritos style that caused cotto most problems and thats something that cant be changed...
    But with steward he may have a better and more efficient gameplan and will also come in better shape to last 12 rounds...
    A Bit biased but ill got for a Cotto Wiin, probably by UD/MD

    After what Pac did to Margocheato you guys really think his cheek bone will hold up?
    I going with Cotto for a TKO cus Cottos jab is going to find that weak spot all night...
    No hand wraps this time plus Staward in his corner.

    I think Cotto will get his revenge. His stamina and his mental toughness will be the key factors, he was outboxing Marg and still ahead when he was stopped.

    Without the plaster, Cotto will make it to the end and win via UD

    cotto outboxes marg to win a fairly easy UD. Everyone will see how big of a roll the hand-warps played in the second half of the first fight.

    Big shredded Margarito from the Pacquiao fight could very well just repeat his success, with or without tampered handwraps. That'd be an extra 7 pounds he wouldn't have to cut and he was looking beastly against Manny.

    cOTTO BY UD OR LATE TKO. EVERYONE STATES THAT IS WANST THE WRPAS IT WAS HIS STYLE THAT GAVE COTTO TROUBLE. YOU GUYS NEED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT WRAPACHEATO HAD A MENTAL EDGE KNOWING THAT HE HAD PLASTER IN HIS WRAPS & THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY START TO BREAK COTTO DOWN. ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS WEATHER THE STORM TILL THE WRAPS HARDEN BY RD 6-7. NOW TAKE THAT MENTAL EDGE AWAY SINCE HE WONT HAVE THEM & YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS (MOSLEY TKO 9TH RD). HAVIN A MENTAL EDGE LIKE THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE WILL TO SURVIVE THOSE VICIOUS SHOTS HE TOOK IN THE 1ST FIGHT KNOW HIS OPPT BODY IS GETTIN TENDER DUE TO THE BLOCKS TAKIN THEIR TOLL.

    So what Mental edge was Marg using in the Pacquiao fight when he refused to stop coming forward with a broken orbital bone? He weathered a **** storm from round 4 on.

    I would like to see how Cotto looks against Mayorga and if he takes any serious punishment in that fight.

    Cotto is a natural 140 pound fighter while Margo is natural 147 pound fighter, so the edge goes to Margo at 154. Both are past there better days. Can Margos orbital bone hold up and stay intact? Can Cottos face keep together, he has so much scar tissue now? Who is mentaly stronger at this stage?

    It's tough to call. In the first fight it was Margos chin and stamina that won him that fight. People talk about loaded gloves even though when there is no hard evidence, just speculation. Margo was taking a pounding from hell in those early rounds, anybody else would of been dropped, loaded gloves or not!

    So to me the factor would be Margos chin, can it still hold up? If Margos chin can't hold up then he's toast against Cotto.

    but theres a diffrence when margarita knew he had plaster,
    so he was more determined,....

    He will not have the same determanation this time around cuz he knows he cant cheat(unless hydroxycut again).

    Maragarita deserves life in prison getting rapped for
    bieng a low life cheater.
    And when the info on pacman comes out in the near future
    (which it will,..trust me).
    Pacman can join the list of scumbags that deserve the electric chair.

    Yes because we know for a fact he used them in that fight. Evangelista was in on it too. He was watching Margarito wrap his hands and happened to miss those cinder blocks they put in his hands.

    Same result as last time or actually even worse. It seems Margarito has gotten bigger and his chin is still in tact. He did take punishment that would make a lesser man quit against Pac.

    Cotto wont be able to hurt him and will eventually get walked down.

    Same result everytime in this one. Cotto is better but style wise Margarito has him beat.
