    That Cotto was KO'd in the 6th by a Margarito right hand, he was laid out cold and could hardly get up. I guess I am thinking about this fight a little to much. Deep down inside I am a little worried about how Cotto is going to fare against Margarito's size and style.

    But the reality is that Cotto is the much better boxer and has way too much speed for Margo, I think!

    What is the possbility that my nightmare becomes a reality?????

    Don't worry too much.

    Everyone should watch the first five rounds of Clottey vs. Margarito and spot his vulnerable defense against the in and out movement that Cotto does sooo good. Cotto either UD's Margarito or stops him on accumulation late.

    Sure there is always a chance. Listen, Margo's got a granite chin and hits like a beast. Add the fact that Cotto's chin has already been tested. Anything can happen.

    First of all Bronx, great avatar! I am a big Gomez fan!

    I think Cotto outboxes Margarito pretty easily but should be wary of the Tijuana Tornado's power for sure.

    In the end, Cotto will be too good and will stay away from any exchanges that could hurt him.

    Moving up to welterweight has helped Cotto take punches.

    Cotto UD12 Margarito

    Well anything can happen in this fight. I want to see Margarita body be tested. I haven't seen anybody test it yet. That will be Cotto best bet. I still pick Cotto to win by UD.

    I wouldn't worry. Cotto destroys Margo. I'm certainly gonna have a little bet on a Cotto TKO victory.

    Lets do percentages :

    I think there is a 15-20% chance that Margo can KO my boy Cotto.

    Clottey hurt Margarito with a left hook to the body in the first round of their bout. Imagine Cotto digging to him for 8+ rounds, Margs body is really going to be tested here, I will put money on Cotto late TKO.

    Im actually sort of a Marg fan so its good if yor dream comes good! But dont worry it wont, Cotto will win this one by my reckoning, just too skilled in the exchanges im thinking.

    Ive had loadsa dreams about fights that NEVER come off, had one the other night, cant remember what it was, but i THINK it was Jones beating Calzage!!!

    Does anybody else think that Margarito's chin is being slightly over-rated?

    I mean he's got a great chin for sure, but Cintron's power is over-rated, he's never KO'd a good opponent, and he was rocked by Santos and Clottey and visibly shaken.

    Mosley has a better chin than Margarito imo.
