    Yes, but remember that Soliman never was of a real threat to Wright which explains how Winky beat him convincingly even with a flu, besides Bika's main weapon was to dominate Soliman was the jab, that way he just kept him at bay and didnt let him settle for his awkard looping punches. You can put Mayorga as the most unpredictable fighter in the world if you want, but the fact is after he beat Forrest (who had a sholder injury) he got beaten by Spinks (@ 147) later spanked by Tito and dominated by Oscar from opening bell... yes i agree that Mayorga at147 is better than at 160/154, but you dont dominate a fighter the way Mayorga got dominated with out been figured out. We can agree to disagree, it doesnt really matter because Margarito is not unpredictable at all.

    One other thing you guys have to realize is that this is the biggest fight of Margarito's career. No I don't mean as far as challenge, but of fame. Margarito knows Cotto is a star opponent and like Cintron, he may come into this looking to make a big statement.

    Sure the Santos, Williams, Clottey fights were big, but they were big only amongst the hardcore. The Cotto fight is a status symbol. I expect Margarito to be hungrier than a starved wolverine.

    Too anxious or "hungry" can translate into mental mistakes.
