    I said it was the first fight I came to on youtube and it showed that DLH did land effective body shots correct? You said Cotto couldn't do that. My question is why not? Pretty simple

    Not saying they hurt him, but he definitely felt them. You could see him puffing for air in his corner after at LEAST a few round. Body shots oprobably has something to do with that.

    No im not kidding , cotto doesn't find floyd body as easy you think and will be counter by one of the most accurate puncher today (Floyd) thougher fight because he will need to figure floye out before floyd figures him out , if floyd figure you out and gets you time , it will be a long night.

    Margaritto on the other hand will be swing at air when he fights cotto and will be on the end of a lot of counter punche just as he did against clotty and santos , cotto will not be there to get his strenth zab by those wide looping punches and will not look to take damage from margarito .
    It no secret what margarito wants to do , get in close and bang.

    those shots didn't help Floyd, so I would call them at least a little effective. :smoke

    If Floyd were to beat Cotto it would be by throwing very few but effective punches and winning a UD or SD. If Margarito were to beat Cotto it would be by pressuring him and throwing 140 massive shots every round and eventually Koing him.

    How is the Floyd fight a harder fight for Cotto? :nut

    Look even further at what styles Cotto has had problems with in the past and I think it is clear. :good

    Again all I was saying is the Margarito fight would be a harder fight for Cotto. Not saying he wins either but I have explained pretty well as to why that it and no one has refuted that.

    Just for clarification, what are you trying to argue? Nobody is arguing that Margarito wouldn't be a tougher physical fight for Cotto (because it would be). Most are arguing that Cotto would have more difficulty beating Mayweather, thus it would be tougher to pick up a W against Mayweather than against Margarito.

    Well we would have to hope that Cotto fights both and see which fight was tougher. He could lose both fights IMO, or win both who knows.

    PBF - COTTO should b made!

    MArgarito VS Williams/Quintana winner!

    Cintron vs Collazo or Clottey

    time 4 some action!!!

    BTW, I can't see PBF on his bike for 12 str8 w/o broken ribs vs Cotto...Margarito is hell for anyone.
