    OK, now there is a lot of considering to do.
    Firstly, nothing's for sure when it comes to the sweet science, as we've seen many times in the past; ie- Chavez v Taylor, etc. And lets face it, Cotto is not going to be a 3 to 1 favorite going in against Margarito. Margarito is much bigger than anyone he's fought before, with a decent length in reach. I'm not saying it will be Margarito all the way, but you can bet for sure that this will be the most exciting or devastating (great either way) fight in Cotto's career. I used to be a Cotto fan back in the "action" days; meaning, when he used to get knocked down a number of times in his fights, it was edge of your seat type of stuff cuz he would come back and win it. And then he started getting better at boxing and his defense. And I'm sorry to say, it got boring for a long long while. His fights in the past 2 years have been meak in entertainment value, but was revived somewhat with the Judah and Mosley fights. They kept throwing over-the-hill competition at him and he really doesnt have a chance to show his full potential. But also, I'm beginning to realize that I'm only interested when fighters like those are good enough to find mistakes in Cotto's style of fighting, which leads me to believe in a weird way that I'm somewhat of a hater of Cotto now. All things aside, Margarito, a C+ to B- type fighter, has a greater possibility of giving Cotto and even match-up than any of his past A-A+ competition, simply because of the physical differences in this fight. Cotto's efficient jab is unlikely to help him against the looping hooks and uppercuts of a natural welterweight. Margarito's v-shape torso is the perfect Cotto antibodi, and in turn Cotto has had the tendency to show a glass jaw from time to time. Things like this work more to make the match a brawl rather than a boxing fight. It is hard to tell right now who will be willing to take the role of the stalker, but if it is Margarito, you can trust it will be a cut and dry fight.

    All Arum does is talk and you all believe him like he doesn't lie. Well I got news for you, promoters lie!!!! It's nothing new. Arum doesn't want to put Cotto in the ring with Floyd right now cause Floyd would ruin Cotto.

    Floyd now claims "I got money so it must not be about money" and "I already am the best including SRR, SRL, and Ali"

    Ah but Floyd is the promoter that dont lie. He promised Margarito a chance but he again lied under pppppressure:rofl

    He said he'd fight Margo if they got the money right, Margo wasn't even the best in that division. So Floyd went afer the #1 guy in the division for the same amount fo money and beat him easily. Margo just got his ass whooped anyway.

    If Floyd fought Cintron, Clottey, and Williams as did Margarito then no one but a hater would doubt Floyd's courage

    Clottey clobbered Baldomir and Margarito lost but he was very competitive and actually hurt Williams more
