    I have to say No .. Cotto had to make major changes to his style to compensate for Mosley speed and strength, I did not see any thing he did or from the perspective that saw the fight , that Cotto would have and Answer for Margarito size and strength.

    Don't get me wrong, cotto can win the fight, but only if he make the following changes , Improve his defense by leaps and bounds , he will need it to offset margarito punch out put and make him miss while landing his own, Improve his foot work , even though cotto can lay the wood on anyone , Margartio is really a big 154 pounder, fighting at welter cotto can not afford to take any damage from Margarito because this fight would need to be taken to the full 12 round and cotto would need to look good doing it , if not he could find himself in brawl, with a bigger stronger fighter that Cotto will get the short end of.

    Damn, I actually agree with most of what you said for once.

    Hopefully this fight gets made though and Cotto is a huge favorite.

    I might make a killin.

    I always have said that Margo has trouble with short stocky opponents…and that preatty much describe Cotto , add Cottos relentless attack to the body and hard jab…put together with a deadly left hook, which will find Margo often, since Margo is not hard find…the slow starter that Margo is, and I see another Kelso Pinto fight…Kelso Pinto and Margo both have very similar styles…and we all know how Cotto disposed of Kelso in impressive fashion in 6 rounds dropping him in multiple rounds….Margo had problems against Lujan in the beginning of the fight as well as Clottey…..Cotto is far better puncher than both with both hands…for this reason I like Cotto in a surprising KO in the late middle rounds..

    Cotto is the better fighter by far, but I think this would be a difficult fight for Cotto. Mosley was effective when going to Cotto's body. I would like to see them fight.

    listen fellaz, i'm a diehard cotto fan...as a matter of fact, he's my fav fighter right now....

    margarito is the most dangerous opponent out there for him....either him or cintron....i dont see anybody else beating him....mararito is a tough and hungry mother****er....sure a couple of his performances weren't all that...but really, have you ever seen him get his ass beat....cause i sure as hell havn't, and i've seen all his fights....sure he's been dropped with a body shot, but that was a long ass time ago.....he got caught up in his own hype last year, but this year and next year he's been looking for blood....and i just dont wanna see him fight cotto...

    please...that's something that only a margo hater would say... they went 2-2 in the first 4 rounds....after that, clottey says he broke both of his hands....FINE, but margo showed us his fist after the fight and his knuckles were all ****en swollen...he said he also messed it up....so who's to say that clottey was telling the truth....

    and dont think clottey would've won anyways...margo usually starts off a bit slow...nothing special that you barely noticed it

    I do. Think about the odds if this poll is any indication about how they're going to bet in Vegas.

    $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    I really want to see Cotto beat up Mayweather though. Margarito might ruin him.

    I like Cotto too.

    people dont understand that there is underdogs, and LIVE UNDERDOGS...margarito has always been a LIVE ONE, but his last 2 losses have came to some tricky ass mother****ers.....stylistically bad matchups for him....and even then, i dont think he lost those fights...AT ALL
