Anyone you'd give better than a 50-50 chance of beating Margarito?

    Miguel Cotto if he boxes smartly again, uses his jab more and doesn't tire.

    I'd give Mayweather a 65-35 chance of beating Margarito.

    Unfortunately, I give the fight about a 5% chance of happening.

    Do you think Clottey's chances of securing a win over Margarito are better than Williams?

    Williams is the obvious answer.

    I would favor Clottey & Williams against Margarito. Mosley, I would give him a 50/50 chance. Of course I would favor Mayweather over this guy if he was still boxing.

    I'd give Williams maybe a 35-40% chance. Margo knows what he has to do to beat the guy and will come prepared in the rematch.

    IMO if Cotto trains more intense in his camp to last atleast 12 rounds at Margo's pace, do as little trading as possible at the start of the fight meaning no resting on ropes trading with Margo, he would win a clear UD.

    Sure Margo beat Cotto now and he deserves all the credit in the world, however boxing is very tactical and changes of tactics in a rematch could very much change the outcomes. There are some fights were you see it and you think the rematch cant be any different at all, this isn't one of them.

    Mosely & DLH are 50/50
    Clottey 40/60
    Williams an PBF 60/40
    Cotto 50/50 in a rematch.

    The only guys I'd give more than a 50% chance would be middleweights, or the jr.middle Dzinziruk. Those are the only guys however.

    DLH, Santos and Mosley probably have about a 40/60 chance. Williams a 30/70. Clottey a 20/80 and Cotto-Cintron a 10/90.

    I am sold on the idea that Margarito just came ill prepared for Williams. Just as Williams came ill prepared for Quintana. The rematch will happen. Sooner or later.
