    Absolutely. Marg is NOT a top class fighter, never has been and never will be, this will be a one sided blow out that the fans flip over.

    Not only am I going big on Cotto, but I am taking the beautiful 4/1 odds of Cotto by stoppage, all because people are convinced Margs made of titanium, not considering accumulative damage.:p

    Floyd turning down 8 mil. to fight him, made Margarito 6 inches taller in some people's mind, like he's the man to beat, the "most feared" they like to say, ****ing Korgoth of Barbaria.

    Can't really recall a boxer being ranked so high on account of whom he didn't fight more than whom he actually fought and results. He mostly fought clownfish pooh, pushovers and - yes - a few B-Level fighters, one maybe pushing to A, with overall ok result at best.

    I'll give him that he's a very good athlete with tough guy attitude. Yet he wouldn't be much of a challenge if he wasn't such a big WW.

    Less than a week before that big balloon deflates (like the Miranda's balloon).

    I think Cotto could possibly win a one sided decision, but it's unlikely in my opinion. I do seeing him winning a clear decision though like 116-112 or 117-111.

    Yeah I am, I thought I'd throw it out there though. Cotto is going to get hit, and he is going to have to work his ass off becuase Margo is so active and applies so much pressure but I think Cotto is going to batter Margo.

    I'm thinking this is going to get stoped by the ref late

    Cotto TKO 10 or 11

    Cotto could possibly outbox Margarito but stopping him is not likely. Margarito has a lot of determination, good conditioning and the size to give Cotto problems. I see this as a very close fight decided not only by boxing skills but also the ability of the fighters to take a punch and sustain a good work rate for the whole fight.

    Dude throw your cash down. Cotto will beat Margo, and yes your right; he is clearly a level or two above him. If Paul freaking Williams can outbox Margo should there be any doubt at all whatsoever that Cotto can do it? I'll answer that; NO. It will be an exciting fight and lots of people will be rooting for Margo, but he is outclassed on this one

    On another note don't let people fool you Klion about "Margos workrate"; effective moving and countering from Cotto will cut it in half. His workrate is very high against guys that stand in front of him and trade without countering, which surely Cotto will not do (with the exception of maybe deciding to trade on occasions)
