Cotto's conditioning played a huge part in his loss. He has the ability to outbox Margarito but he needs to do it for the whole 12 rounds if he wants to win. I still think Margarito will beat him again.
We got some proud, brave, unashamed folks here.. :rofl They got that private poll dead even. But they're not touching this public ****. If you're picking Cotto don't be ashamed, be real, be out in the open.

Cotto will win if his skills/killer instinct haven't eroded since his destruction by margarito (we will see in his early '09 fight). If Cotto has the endurance to last 12 rounds (ALL 2160 seconds of them)...he will win a points decision vs margarito. Cotto went full throttle in first 6 and faded after that...He went 5-1 on most people cards through the first 6.
i picked margo by decision i think it'll be a lot less interesting of a fight than the first one... cotto now knows he cannot try to outfight margo and therefore will not be looking to engage at all... i think it'll look like the judah fight with clottey
To be fair Cotto faded after the 6th because he started incurring heavy damage from that point forward.
I am going way out on the limb with this one. I think Cotto being young with the right trainer. Someone who can correct a few mistakes from the last fight and can get him inside his comfort zone not necessarily inside Margaritos comfort zone with the way Cotto punches he will have a chance at a tko. He also stands the same chance of getting tko'd again. But like i said he's young enough to be able to make the necessary changes.
Rightnow I can't . . . I'm still torn between these two fighters . . . they are both in my favorite list. I'll wait for the weigh in . . . before making a pick.
