    of course it is.

    i actually think a rematch could be in cotto's favour because margarito (IMO) really but his balls on the line in that fight.

    i could be wrong, but who wouldn't pay to see that again?

    I think there should definitely be a rematch, who knows maybe Cotto has learned something valuable

    i doubt cotto has learned much. he's a sound offensive fighter but a crappy defensive one. however i think he's a very consistent in one respect and could take the rematch.

    Of course...but trust me Cotto does not want anything to do with Margarito again. You will not want to get in the ring with someone that you can't hurt. I'm sure he will be having flashback and nightmare about Margarito.

    Yes, but I doubt the result would be different with the eception of Margarito pressing harder and finishing faster.

    How do you figure that?

    Cotto out boxed Mosley in their fight and Margarito couldn't land a single punch while Cotto still had energy left in him

    Now despite the result ask yourself aloud if theres another more credible, exciting, or competitive fight out there at WW?

    I cant think of one. Williams-Cotto? nope Williams-Margo2? nope

    Yes, as Cotto has the skills to beat Margarito. He needs the following and can beat him in a rematch: First some time to clear his head and decide if he wants it in his heart.

    a. A new Trainer Nacho or a or an old school Panamanian they know the style.

    b. Stamina, Cotto needs to be pushed, no children in the gym hugging and kissing you while you punch the heavy bag stuff. Roadwork uphill, stamina clinching and defense.

    C. The new trainer plots the correct strategy and makes the on the spot changes in strategy during the actual fight while Cotto concentrastes on execution.

    these things happen and Cotto can come back stronger than ever but his menatality during training has to change. He has to push to get that extra 10 percent that talent alone wont give you. Margarito knows all about this and its why he is so formidble. Cotto has the skill to beat Margo in the rematch he needs the things Ive mentioned and and it can happen.

    PS Stay off the ropes. His back must never touch the ropes.
