    I just have this feeling that Cotto completely outclasses Marg and it could end in the later rounds via TKO. I just think there's a clear difference in class between the two. I mean you look at some of the guys Cotto has beaten and the WAY he beat them and it wasn't just about brawling.

    This is kind of like before Gatti-Ward 1. We all knew it was going to be a great war, but probably not as good as we all hoped it would be. Then it turned out to be better than all of our wildest imaginations.

    I think this will also be a war and probably better than we are hoping for. The way I think it will play out is that Cotto is going to box a little bit more than we are used to seeing him, just like in the last four rounds of his fight with Mosley. He will feel Margarito's power early and then proceed to outbox him for most of the fight, but with nice two sided exchanges mixed in.

    So you are expecting a mixture of boxing and brawling. In your prognostication of the fight, are you seeing a Cotto victory and if so, by UD or KO?

    Didn't Cotto Mosley look better on paper? I think it should be kept in mind that most people think Cotto must fight an elusory tactical fight to best his chances.

    Yes it will, this will be entertaining whether it turns out to be one-sided or not.
