but i had a vision of a weary Cotto rising off the canvas and the ref waving it off because Cotto was unable to continue and Margarito running around the ring celebrating.

You had a psilocybin comeback. It will pass...

Antonio Margarito is a flawed fighter, and he has a record to prove that he isn't unbeatable. But, does he have the type of fighting style and physical constitution to give someone like Miguel Cotto serious trouble? I don't think there's any question about that. Of course he does.

The people who are picking Cotto to outbox or outsmart Margarito have a decent theory, I just think they're overestimating their guy quite a bit, and overestimating the degrees of seperation between someone who has somewhat better boxing skills than who they're facing, and someone who is a Willie Pep or Pernell Whitaker caliber dynamo.

Regardless of what mode Cotto is in he's hittable. It would be challenging for some of the sports best boxers and defensive wizards to avoid getting hit against an opponent who continually keeps coming forward and throws a high volume of punches from every angle. Cotto is a boxer with skill, but is he Floyd Mayweather? Is he Ivan Calderon or Joan Guzman?

We might as well debate if Cotto can take a plethora of fully loaded combinations from Margarito because he's sure to get hit with them. People think that Cotto can beat Margarito because Miguel beat Mosley or Miguel beat Judah? Because of "class" or some nonsense? Did Mayorga beat Forrest on "class?"

The people who have marked Cotto for defeat in the past always maintained it would take a sustained attack. Just look at the Torres fight - Cotto isn't easy to drop, and he isn't he easy to stop. I think anyone who has been paying attention knew that both Judah and Mosley would have a hard time beating a consistent, accurate puncher like Cotto, and they wouldn't pour on the kind of offense needed to take him out. Margarito... Now that's a guy that worries me. I've been with Cotto every fight up until this one, but this is where I get off.

Finally, a sensible post on this fight :good

I picked Judah and Mosley to beat Cotto. As much as I want him to beat Margarito i'm picking against him yet again. Fanastic fight. Can't wait for it.

Great ****ing analysis. I'm worried about this fight. I still got cotto, though.

Margarito has a hell of a chin, but he's one dimensional, and Cotto will take advantage of it. Cotto by UD.

That's all very well but look at Clottey and Williams, hardly supreme boxers themselves and both can be hit, just like Cotto. Williams beat Margarito though and Cotto is a much more intelligent and accurate fighter, Clottey aswell was beating him and even rocked him with a big uppercut.

Cotto TKO around 7/8.

El Borracho · Jun 28, 2008

I think it boils down to this:

Cotto's chin & stamina vs. Margarito's inconsistency

Anyhow, win or lose, this is the kind of fight which could affect Cotto for the rest of his career. I wouldn't be surprized if he's not quite the same fighter after his war On July 26th....

I have been trying to say that it is career defining for Cotto.

I had a dream too about the fight the other night.

Cotto looked great in the first few rounds, and then just couldnt handle Margarito's pressure he tooked too many hits and looked like he was dying, he was in the corner getting wailed on, I was screaming at the TV to stop the fight but it was obvious the ref didnt want to because he didnt want Cotto to lose but eventually did. I think I was crying out of pity for him too. Margo won a 10th TKO.

I had another dream last night

this time it was Donaire-Vic 2, It was a great action fight then both of them got knocked down in the 3rd round. Donaire got the win but he looked really bad.
