Clottey would have been fighting Margo again if he wasn't fighting Cotto. Clottey was killing Margo with those combos until he hurt his hand. Clottey vs Collazo will mostly be an undercard of Cotto vs Margo fight :good

Yeah, Margarito pretty much has no chance against Cotto. Not because of the Clottey fight, but because of every one of his fights.

Torres doesn't fight much like Margarito and is a one-punch Kayo artist while Margarito's knockout comes on accumulation.

Also the Torres fight was at 140 and Cotto is much better at 147 so comparing Torres-Cotto aint the same as comparing Margarito-Clottey which i feel is a good comparison as i feel Cotto can do what Clottey did and do i better.

...for the first time and came to this conclusion:

There is no way, I repeat NO WAY Margarito beats Cotto. Clottey was dominating Margarito with is high guard, blocking all Margarito's shots and even tought he was much more active, no clean shots landed and Clottey was countering him with those nasty left hooks and straight rights who were landing clean.

When he hurt his left hand, it was a disaster for Clottey as this was his money punch and that he was landing it at will. I doubt Margarito wouldve won this fight if Clottey used his left hand with the same regualrity than in rounds 1 to 4.

Now Cotto has a incredible left hook, powerful, quick and if he can land it has Clottey did i doubt Margarito will see the final bell as even tought he has an iron chin theres only so much you can take.

Cotto has a good chin at 147 and is smaller than Margarito and will be able to land that same left hook while on the inside and with his typical high guard he will dominate Margarito and since he can box and fight on the outiside (which Clottey could'nt do) i don't see how Margarito wins this fight.

The only thing I see giving trouble to Cotto is AM's uppercut in both hands who are very powerful but if Miguel Cotto can neutralize those two punches he will beat Antonio Margarito without much trouble.

Anyone else get a feeling that Cotto may just opt to use his excellent (and under rated) jab to control the fight and cruise to a UD victory slowing Margo's output with hard body shots?

I think if Cotto wants, he can make a long but safe and easy nights work of Margo... I was amazed by Cotto's performance against Shane, who I still think is tier 1 elite level even now... Having said all that I'd prefer them to go toe to toe! lol
