    Cotto or Margarito?

    Better Jab
    Better Left Hook
    Better Right Hand
    Better Footwork/Footspeed/Movements
    Better UpperCut (with either hand)
    Better Chin
    Better Body Attack
    Who takes Body punches better
    Better chance of winning the fight

    The chin factor is a toss up because I think that Cotto has been hit by harder punchers than Margarito has ... and Cotto hasn't really been knocked down.

    Margarito has been wobbled before as well ...

    People also underestimate Cotto's uppercut (with both hands)

    Margarito has a ridiculous chin, and his uppercut is amazing.

    Cotto is the allround better fighter, but for some reason i fancy Margo

    Not trying to start a debate but outside of Cintron (who I think is an overrated power puncher) who has Margarito been hit by that had alot of pop and who legit-ly added to Margarito's chin factor?

    I can name more power punchers that hit Cotto flush and he hasn't went down from taking a shot from them.

    I can't say that same thing about Margarito ... maybe you can convince me.

    Santos is bigger stronger than any fighter that Cotto has fought.

    If i'm not mistaken Didn't Torres drop Cotto? And Margo Took some serious shots from a huge Santos. Williams landed some hard shots on Margo that would of dropped most welters as well.

    I'll say Margo got's the Chin between them.

    Other than Santos ... (which I knew was going to be the only one) ... who else was a power puncher that truely hit Margarito and could contribute to his chin factor?

    I'll say Cotto has the better arsenal. Margo, I think has the better uppercuts. This is the one punch Cotto has looked susceptible too.
    In the few areas where Margo has strength Cotto has weakness.

    Cotto is more likely to win if he doesn't get drawn in to a toe to toe fight. which is hard for Cotto to resist, being a natural fighter. Cotto has to use his smarts all the way through.
