    Margo doesn't really use his height to his advantage. If he does catch Cotto, Miguel is going to have a hard time holding and wrapping Margo up to recover.

    I think the size difference will only be part of the equation, along with natural toughness, ability to take a punch to both the chin and body, and sheer tenacity, all totaling to Margo TKOing Cotto sometime after the 8th round.

    Margo doesn't use height at all, he spends most of the time being rather hunched, or appears to be anyway.

    How he lost to Paul Williams I will never know!

    You forgot the ability to box and move side to side slipping puches. Quicker handspeed and head movement. Cotto has all these qualities, where Margo lacks. Cotto will take a hard fought decision

    The barometer was on Margarito, not Cintron. Cintron was the recipient of Margarito's inside fighting, which is what I believe the remark was referring to.

    How was it not? He used Kermit Cintron as an example of Margarito "never being at an disadvantage on the inside." Oblivious to the fact that Cintron can't fight on the inside, as shown in the Feleciano fight.

    When has Cotto been the taller man in the ring?? Never. When has he lost because of his hieght... Well, NEVER!! Height is never a determinant factor in a Cotto Fight.

    Look at Cotto's eye: It's like a bull seeing a waving red flag.

    Margarito could do himself good using his jab to keep Cotto on the end of his combos. BUT the height advantage could also make it harder for margarito to get to Cotto's body, and conversely EASIER for Cotto to target margaritos Liver.

    Theres still TWO months till this fight but Im excited about it like its an hour.

    Cotto vs Mosley was a very very close fight which force Cotto to box because of Mosley size and power.

    And please don't even bring Gomez into this.:patsch
