    Eh, Cotto is my favorite fighter. But I just don't see it hapening.

    One of the few people I've seen that knows what's up. :good

    Still, I see Cotto doing a bit better for some reason. Somewhat like Cintron's improvement.

    I don't like his chances at all. Margarito by mid KO if it happens again.

    I think it could go the same way.

    I think Marg has his number. Cotto has to use lateral movement, stay off the ropes where Margs power is magnified, and use body punching himself throughout the fight, especially early on. Its an odd recipe to win a fight, defensive body punching coupled with superior boxing.

    I don't think its going to happen. He has the skill set to do it, but execution is another thing.

    Do you feel Cotto has the mobility though? That's where I would say he doesn't have the skillset. It took Cotto excessive amounts of energy to haul his body around and change directions. Always will, IMO.

    It all depends. If Cotto can box for 12, he can win. But if he runs out of gas for any reason, then no he gets stopped. With Margo, if you run out of gas, the rounds start feeling a lot longer than 3 minutes.

    Unless Margo gets old overnight, Cotto's chances aren't much better. He can't hurt him. He is too small and he's a great boxer/puncher but he isn't slick enough to avoid the punishment that he proved he couldn't take. Same result.

    He fought the perfect fight against Margo and was still wore down and stopped.
