    Experience listed as even I agree

    Speed listed as Cotto I agree

    Durability listed as Cotto I disagree Cotto stopped twice and has been dropped, Margarito stopped once in recent memory went 12 vs Manny Pac

    Tenacity listed as Margarito I agree though he can be a slow starter

    Stamina listed as Cotto I disagree, wasnt it Cotto who gassed vs Margarito??? and who usually throws more punches over the course of a fight, hasnt Margo thrown over 100 punches in rounds

    Versatility listed as Cotto I agree

    Consistency listed as Cotto I dont disagree but Margarito typically shows up in shape and with 100 percent effort too

    Technical soundness listed as Cotto I agree

    Current form listed as Cotto but thats a mystery both are past their best i actually feel Margarito fills the weight better but he has had a lay off and two poundings

    Corners listed as Cotto I disagree he has had how many corner changes over the last few yrs this may be a real problem, Garcia is a good trainer and has been in his corner longer than Cotto has been with the new guy

    Intangibles is even and I have to agree big time with that

    overall its an ok assessment sometimes i feel these 12 rounds really over favor or under cut certain traits in some fighters

    this fight is pretty evenly matched though i think it plays out very similar

    but its hard to tell cause of many factors playing in

    I cant believe the corner they gave to Cotto....talk about Garcia getting shot in the foot.
