    yes you are correct there if cotto attacks that body early there won't be enough of margarito if it even does go 12.the first 6 rounds of there fight margarito had trouble catching him but once the plaster hand harden it was catching up to cotto and even with the plaster he couldn't knock cotto out, it was the exhaustion of body attack from the cast that formed on margo's hands

    Cotto was winning the fight until the toll of the plastered gloves fatigued him.

    Margarito doesn't have AMAZING power, just punches at a high rate, and when you're doing that with bricks on your fist, its bound to take a toll on a man.

    Cotto vs Margarito w/o the bricks = Cotto dominating UD for 12 rounds, EASILY.
    Rewatch the fight...you guys are too zero'd in into the Cotto bloody surrendering.

    Seriously buzzed?
    Cotto has never been buzzed by Judah, when Judah landed one of his few clean shots on Cotto, Cotto was ducking Judah's incoming attack, Judah landed zero punches in the 5-10 second span after Judah's clean shot.

    I give you Mosley, but you have to keep in mind Cotto kept his base.

    Seriously buzzed to me is when you get knocked off your base....Cotto gets back into control in the fight very quickly and has an underrated chin.

    People are forgetting that Margarito was being outclassed by Cotto for majority of the fight...seriously.

    He can if he learns to hold on the inside. He would make his flashy combos score and then hold, ala W. Klit style..

    minus the concrete gloves? of course he can! he'll out box margarito as he did for the first 5-6 rounds in there previous fight, before the plaster of paris started to harden. No doubt cotto hands margarito an ass whoopin in the rematch.
