    After seeing the HBO countdown, countless threads, biases, and rational analyses for and against both Cotto and Margarito, who do you see winning the fight? Of course the weigh-in is not until Friday. But without regards to boxing skills, styles, or things of those nature, deep down inside and thinking about the intangibles and what things lie ahead for each fighter, who wins via your gut feeling?

    By watching the coutdown, Cotto will win by TKO. I just think HBO is trying to hype this up the best way they can. It's going to be a good fight. But Cotto is the real deal and can't see anyone beating him know

    will win this one.
    In Cintron like style....

    If Cotto follows his trend as a WW and continues to suffer alot of punishment
    I may expect him to take the most since the Torres fight.

    Miguel cut's very easy now, I can't remember a recent big fight he has not been cut in?

    In reality, Antonio Margarito is the best welterweight he has ever faced.

    Mosley has slown down to such an extent that he doesn't pose as many problems as a peak Margarito.

    I think this fight will be a great spectacle, and the best man will win.

    I think that man will be Antonio.

    Margarito. From the time to this fight was first floated to the first bell it will be Margarito. No question.

    I have a gut feeling that Margarito will knock Cotto out. Styles make fights and Margarito is the wrong style for him. I think Margarito wants this fight mre than Cotto, he appears to be obsessed with it.

    The judges and ref will be for Cotto, but I don't think they will be able to do much in this fight. Whatever, it should be a real war.

    Judah is not Margarito. Mosely is not the fighter he used to be either, Mosely/Cotto fight was extremely close, it could have gone either way.

    I think Judah and Mosley are much better than Cintron and Goldie. I'm not counting Gomez and Williams for obvious reasons.

    I like both guys but have since this fight was signed, given the nod to Margarito. I think Cotto has issues with guys who walk him down and I think Margarito will do it at the right distance and the right volume of punches.

    I'm expecting a late stoppage for Margarito.

    If he uses his superior boxing abilities and boxes Magarito from the outside, Cotto should win a UD

    Margarito is looking awesome. Not sure who will win, but my gut feeling is with Margarito. We will soon fight out.
