Cotto's betterand he SHOULD win. But Margarito has the tools to beat him. If we knew for certain, we wouldn't need to have the fight.
:good Agree wholeheartedly. Cotto in an easy one. Not takin anything away from margo, I just feel people are building him up a little bit too much. He is a good fighter, but cotto's boxing ability is very good and steadily getting better, and he should be able to box his way to a pretty unanimous decision.
I showed Margo all the respect in the world after the Williams fight and watched the Cintron fight 4 times because I thought he did great in that fight. Trust me man, I don't dislike Margo at all and if he beats Cotto and proves me wrong, then great for him. Also great for all of us, because IF Margo wins he will have to make it a war and it will be a great fight. I just really don't think he can do it. I think Cintron is tailor made for him and just like after the first fight, he is being overrated based off the Knock out.
You went from picking Gomez to pull the upset to picking Cotto to beat Margo in a close fight. I love to see my fellow man evolve.
In all honesty I see this fight as quite the toss up though I can see Cotto totally outclassing the hard nosed Mexican warrior. What I find shockingly erie about ESB'ers and humankind alike is the consistancy in which we make choices.....humans are extremely predictable thus the high percentage of posters that consistantly pick against a particular fighter (in this case Cotto) in the hopes that percentages will somehow sway their way and that fighter loses therefore justifying their self righteous rationale. I've noticed a strikingly high number of posters that picked against Cotto in the Gomez fight are now glowing at the opportunity to pick Margo as the clear victor. We can clone and build rockets that venture into space yet in many ways we are as simple and innocent as those who roamed the earth thousands of years ago.
Pretty much everyone picked Cotto over Gomez, and more than twice as many will pick Cotto rather than Margo to win in their upcomming fight. You'll never have complete agreement no matter how big of a mismatch is taking place.
True...I was merely spotlighting the naysayers, its similar to PBF's situation in which everytime he faces someone with a heart beat his retractors will conjure up every god given scenerio explaining why he can and will lose.
