I don't dislike him. Clottey did have success hiting Margo to the body, I clearly remember him throwing and landing double left hooks to the body and the head, and vice-versa. This idea of the uppercut winning him the fight is laughable. If thats the plan, then Margo is more depserate than even I believe. I already pointed out that the counter to the uppercut is the left hook. And given the disparity of speed, you can expect Cotto to come over those uppercuts with his own hooks. Quite simply, the equations goes as follows: Cotto's left hook > Margo's right uppercut.
That would be an awesome fight though, would definitely pay for this like I HAVE and WANT to. Though I'll be picking Cotto here but anything could happen in a fight like this.
you left out that he is too slow with with his footwork. i noticw last night that he is too mechanical even for floyd the only thing that i see that can give him a win to either cotto or mayweather is his activeness but being busy he opens up alot which is susceptible to cotto strength
I've always said Cotto beats Margo up. Coto is too quick, too accurate and has too tight a guard. Still, since it looks like PBF is going to fight De la Hoya again so he can buy another ivory backscratcher, this is the best fight to be made for the summer and I really hope it happens.
I believe Cotto will win just because of the fact that he is the total package. He can do it all, he can brawl, has a ferocious body attack, he can move real good and has a stiff jab, great straight punches and terrific hand speed. The bottom line is, if there is anyone in the division that will be a tough test for Cotto its Antonio Margarito, all this jive about Mayweather beating him, I just cant see it. Cotto is going to leave mayweather in shambles when it finally comes together.
If Shane had Miguel in his track shoes you don't think Antonio will I disqualify my self oh and i'll give you my top 10 1.) Sugar Ray Robinson 2.) Joe Louis 3.) Muhammed Ali 4.) Henry Armstrong 5.) Sugar Ray Leonard 6.) Evander Holyfield 7.) Joe Frazier 8.) Willie Pep 9.) Roy Jones 10.) Floyd Mayweather Jr.
fair enough, margarito might win, then he will once again be the most feared welterweight once again, and floyd will never again have a peaceful nights sleep!!
