    Cotto can win by UD and have it be a blowout, but I don't think he would take that risk because of the latin pride and the fact that he doesn't want to disappoint his fans. I think the UD would be easy if he focus on the body and use his superior conter punching and side to side movement. He can make the fighter harder than its supposed to be by not boxing and just using his speed ... electing to brawl ... and trying to prove who's "el mas macho"

    He's a warrior that would definitely go out on his shield ...

    As I think about it more ... if Cotto uses his side to side movement and sticks with his jab - he can make it an easy night ...

    He can cruise to a UD, because overall he's faster ...

    But it will be hard, because it will test his conditioning ...

    Cintron was damaged by starting his career at 19 years of age, he will never be able to compete with guys with the pedigree of a Cotto or Margarito. Being mentally tough is something that can not be tought. Either you have it oryou don't. He does not.

    Late starts don't mean **** ... he got a title out of it ...

    If he was truely dedicated to the sport and work on his craft and skills - then his performance wouldve been better ... if he were in with better competition, instead of tomato cans then his performance wouldve been better.

    Don't blame it on the late start because there are many boxers who have started late and have done something with their career.

    JCC jr ... has no amateur experience and is learning through his pro experience and is getting better every fight ... don't sit here and say it was because he was 19 when he started boxing ... Paul Williams had a hand full of amateur fights and he beat Margarito ...

    It has nothing to do with it ... Amateurs just fine tunes your skills and teaches you the fundamentals ... it has nothing to do with your performance in the pro ranks.

    If that were the case Muhammad Abdulaev wouldve beaten Miguel Cotto in the pros.

    Stop listening to commentators and pay closer attention to the fights ... there are fighters that come around quite often and do significant things with their careers and don't have the same amateur pedigree as the guys then beat.

    I remember Jim Lampley say that **** but he's a blow by blow guy not the expert analysist.

    Dedication, determination, and discipline play a part in a boxers career more than anything.

    Cintron just wasn't willed enough, and didn't have enough heart to compete for 12 rounds. He kept trying to hit Margarito with his heaviest/strongest punch hoping that it will have an effect on the fight.

    His defense was non existant and his ****in boxing skills were as well ... if he had a stronger, stiffer jab it wouldve helped him ... if he had better conditioning it wouldve help him.

    If he had a better trainer it wouldve helped him adjust ...

    Cintron overall had a suspect team and a suspect work ethic ....

    Cotto is going to have his hands full with Margarito ... he can make it an easy fight, but he can also make it the toughest fight of his life.

    He has to show what he's made of because even to beat Margarito you have to sistane a high work rate for every second of every minute of every round for 12 straight rounds.

    You can't take a minute off from this guy ... he's going to test Cotto's heart, will, and conditioning.

    He's a very good body puncher and a very good pressure fighter ...

    Cotto has the skills to make him look silly but the thing is that you're more than likely not going to knock him out and you have to be on you toes for 12 rounds - one punch is not going to make Margarito stop.

    Paul Williams beat him by throwing over 1,000 punches ... I never seen Cotto throw over 1,000 punches ... I never seen him fight a guy who throws alot of punches.

    Cotto is very hitable and has a suspect chin ...

    I disagree the list of late starters that were great athletes but never made anything of theselves at the elite level is endless:

    Michael Grant
    Kermit Cintron
    Nikolay Valuev
    I think Joe Mesi
    McGirt Jr.

    Just to name a few!

    Do you have a clue?

    Second time I've read you questioning Cotto's chin.

    Tell me, when has he been badly hurt at 147?

    I think he's answered the "chinny" questions, since moving up in weight.

    I'd say Cotto's heart equals Margo. (torres fight ring a bell?)

    Once again, you show your ignorance (or lack of knowledge, or hatred) by saying Cotto has a suspect chin.

    The only thing suspect here, is your knowledge of boxing.

    :yep

    The fact is boxing isn't complex. It's just one of those things that are easy to pickup but difficult to master. Knowing all the ins and outs of a left hook, or a right hand. The benefits of distance and the negatives of distance, how to roll with punches and how to utilize extra control points (like elbows and forearms), etc. All of those things when taken into proper consideration can make a world champion.

    Starting at 19 years old goes only as far as your desire and physical ability. But in the end it will be your downfall.

    Usually agree with you platnum, but both have already earned the right to fight Floyd.

    They are both fighting each other, because Floyd isn't interested in earning his money, when he can steal it from DLH and Hatton.
