Isnt that what people were saying after the Mosley beatdown which was worse than the Pac beatdown. Mosley actually TKOd him and those shots were brutal but still Margarito showed his chin is there. Cottos only chance in my opinion is that Margaritos chin is cracked by the time they meet.
Get Floyd out of this question..:fire That guy doesn't fight anyone. He's a non factor when talking about real fights that can be made.
I can't say that after the beating Margo took from Pac. I think that Cotto will open that eye and force a late stoppage because of cuts. Prior to the beating I was picking Margo, but Cotto and Steward know his opponent is really ruined and will take care of business, by not making the mistake of going too much to the ropes and exchange more in the middle of the ring to avoid that brutal body punching that Margo puts on the ropes against his opposition, in other words use the Mosley fight as a blueprint.
The fact that he knew he had to survive in order to get back in this game. Had manny spark'd his as in the 4rd then the comeback wouldve ended there. He survived knowing that would get his name back in the mix with cotto.
Are you serious? Floyd doesn't need to hurt Margarito. He has better footwork, defense, stamina, higher boxing IQ and is much faster than Cotto. Margarito could be the exact same fighter in the last round (which he wouldn't) and he still wouldn't be connecting on Floyd enough to slown him down or hurt him. Floyd decisions him 99% of the time. Cotto can outbox Margo, but he gets hit in the process which slows him down and makes him even easier to hit from mid-late in the fight. I still believe Cotto has the tools to defeat Margo, but after the way he lost the first time it's going to be hard to rebound mentally from that loss when he sees that same man in the ring across of him ready to jump on him again.
