    Judging by Cotto's fights against Urkal, Judah and Mosley, I honestly can't see him not getting tagged with counter shots and that leads me to say with such utter simplicity that Miguel would rely mostly on stayin busy all the way to the finish line in short contrast to Tony Margarito that would try to overwhelm him with every twisting powershot like he did to Cintron.

    Look for Cotto to get a taste of his own medicine when he comes up against someone that is bigger and more aggressive than he is. Margo will give him a bad beating before closing the show by knocking Cotto out cold later in the fight. Styles make fights and Tony is all wrong for Cotto.

    Margarito is taller than cotto but he is not going to outweight him, at least not by a lot. I do think Margaritos style is very difficult for Cotto, but i think Cotto has become a great fighter, better than Margarito, and i would expecting to win a hard fought war, desicion or stoppage.

    you can't be serious. amsterdam is esb's most childish poster. this guy said b-hops loss to roy jones jr was his best performance. LMAO. you are the floyd version of amsterdamm. a pure "diluted dip****".


    and you are acting all big because you picked your mans to tko ricky. everyone who had a brain knew hatton shouldn't be in the ring with floyd, except of course the brits.

    this would be a tough fight for both guys. cotto wouldn't ko margo i think thats obvious. i actually think margo is tougher, and he throws more than cotto. margo could counter the slower cotto better than say he could clottey or williams.

    never wanna underestimate cotto though. tough fight to call.

    That right there shows you dont know **** about boxing. WTF are you talking about. WTF are you on. Margarito/Counter. That is an oxymoron. If margarito counters it is unintentionallly. He swings wildly when a guy is in his punching range. He throws a barrage. Cotto would counter him easily. Cotto also keeps his guard up. The only punch margarito would be effective with is his uppercut. Cotto would easily win the jab battle. Cotto is not slow. If he showed good hand speed at 140 WTF makes you think he wont handle Margarito who is the slowest of handspeed at WW.
     
  8. Margarito wins by late stoppage, every fight Cotto's in he takes a lot of punishment, :nut this would be no exception..
    **** i and a lot of others thought Mosley beat Cotto:deal he faded down the stretch in that fight, Margarito's superior stamina would make a difference..

    Margarito KO 10 OR 11..

    all i have to say is this cotto is bob arum's crown jewel of top rank, he has been trying to get him and margarito together for a couple of years now, he has much more to lose if cotto loses then if marge loses, so if he honestly thought cotto couldnt beat mr tijuana he wouldnt b trying so hard to get them in the ring together. wat do yall think about this?

    if you want to defeat Cotto, your best option isn't to pressure him, but, rather to box him, bounce single shots off of him, and then get the hell out of the way before he fires back with his own incoming. If you move forward, and force Cotto to box, you allow him to use his movement to create countering oppotunties, and to rake you on the way in with combinations to the head and body.

    That, methinks, is what will happen to Margarito, who will stubbornly move forward, eat a healthy amount of leather, and eventually break down before he can wear Cotto out. Cotto by late stoppage.

    watch this moron. I am not a huge margo fan at all. in fact i was one who did a ban bet saying williams would win. margo is no pushover and he CAN DEFINTELY counterpunch.

    watch this and listen to audio.

    Yes, as in gauging his ability. I don't put much into the Tito Trinidad win, but I do rate his long stream of consistent domination over B levels.

    You on the other hand are one of the most idiotic posters here.

    I don't understand how Margarito's punches are wide since this is a big guy who closes down on you, steps in against usually shorter opponents n tries to put em together inside - he would have no advantage of going head-hunting against a guy like Cotto on the inside and missing an awful lot of shots - that uneffective punching theory is false even if you use his last fights as evidence ( Santos, Cintron, Clottey, Williams) but there's no denying that Cotto would get first and time his attacks. Williams explored angles well and came with all mighty shots from the sides that Tony took well...That would fail with Cotto cuz he doesn't move his thick body side to side as much - it's still pure strength collision between these.
