    ......in the favor of Cotto? I just think there is a clear difference in class. Cotto is going to be first time and time again. Margarito can't match Cotto's hand speed or overall boxing skills.

    The only question for me is how much money i'm putting down on Cotto. :good

    Don't bet too much money because this is a 50/50 fight to me.

    put down $500 if you got the money like that. Marg is tough but will taste defeat for the 6th time in his career! Look at the cintron2 fight, tell me if cotto didnt see that and said "this is not the way to fight marg, i got to box"

    In my opinion Cotto is a good bit better, but then Margarito is persistent and brave enough to win rounds. Maybe something like 116-112? I think Margarito has to score knockdowns/a knockout to win but he will be in the fight.

    Looking forward to this one a lot. :good

    if you are basing your decision only on speed and overall boxing skills then you dont know a whole lot about boxing. we could count 100's of times where a boxer is quicker and technically better, but get beatin into a pulp.

    Im not saying that is going to happen here, but what i am sayin is Margarito does NOT have to match speed and skills to win. He has the heart, he has the chin, he has the work rate to beat Cotto. And i forgot, he can bang too.

    Not completely one-sided, but I think Cotto will win this fight rather clearly.. A lot easier than most people think.. I'll say it's a 70-30 in favor of Cotto.. That's just what I think, but it would be nice to see it go down to the wire..

    Technically speaking Cintron has better boxing technique & faster speed. Look what happened to him...

    yeah who ever thinks this fight will be onesided dont know to much about the sport or atleast the 2 fighters that are fighting that night.

    margo will brawl and cotto will box 1st brawl 2nd, while comging forward and moving in angles.

    Is this a joke?

    Cintron is a one dimensional, KO puncher. He has no boxing skills. Could Cintron ever outbox the likes of Mosley, Judah, and Quintana? Could Cintron ever outjab Mosley or Judah at times? :lol:

    Cintron is tailor made for Margarito because all he does is look for that big punch and he needs space to wind up. And a guy like Marg simply doesn't give him the space and he's in your face. That takes away the sole weapon of Cintron and he's done.

    Cotto's overall hand speed and foot speed along with overall boxing skills are very underrated by people IMO. If he dominates Marg, i wouldn't have a problem putting him at P4P #1.

    As long as Cotto boxes it should be a one-sided clinic.
