    Sorry If This Has Been Done.
    I Think He'll Beat Cotto.

    Interesting...why? Too much relentless pressure and high workrate? :think

    Not me, I think should win, I would favour him anyway. It will definitely be a war of attrition, Margo only has a forward gear, it will be interesting to see what approach Cotto takes. Will he trade with him, fight going backwards (like parts of the Mosley fight) or both? Good fight though, cant wait for it to happen

    I don't think cotto should allow this fight to turn into a war of attrition. He can easily outbox Margo. In a war of attrition ANYTHING can happen.

    what does his previous losses have to do with anything. do you know the circumstances of any of the losses besides pw.

    those types of responses i thought were only made by the floydboys.

    I think it is going to be close but it wont be the fight that all of you are talking about....I really dont think Cotto will stand toe to toe with Margo at all. If Cotto wins it, it would be by getting on his bike for 12rounds and winning with the jab no way in hell TKO

    The only way I see Cotto winning is Boxing for 12 rounds. I don't see him being able to go toe to toe with Margo. Cotto would the best WW since Trinidad if he takes out Margarito. I don't care about DLH or PBF.

    IMO it comes down to COTTO/MARGARITO. I see Cotto, pulling it out in survival mode, 12UD.

    Those 2 factors plus others;
    Better chin(his power will trouble Cotto more than visa versa)
    underrated speed and accuracy(Hes accurate,watch Cintron fight,and hes not THAT slow)
    Physically bigger and possibly stronger'
    A Killer to the body,just like Cotto.
    Determination,wont be intimidated.

    Its 60/40 Margo to me,and im amazed Cotto's the consensus favourite.
    I also think Shane hurt Cotto more than he realized and didnt capitalise.Margo will notice and capitalise.

    I'm picking Margo because it means more to him than it does cotto, he is going to make sure he does everything to walk out victorious. Cotto has never been in with a fighter as good as Margorito.

    i am picking cotto in this fight, but tony is an extremely live dog. this fight is by no means going to be easy for either fighter. tony is just too damn rugged and relentless to go easily. miguel should win, but he will go through hell to do it.

    I don't.
    Cotto will beat Margarito, it won't be easy and I won't be surprised if Cotto is badly hurt or even knocked down but still he has been in that position before and came back to win so it won't be that shocking to see him do it again. It'll be one hell of an exciting fight.

    BTW,I think its just a bad style matchup for Cotto,not that hes an inferior fighter.

    They're even in the hunger catagory. Location is Vegas, Cotto would be in new territory.
