    it would be a tough fight for Cotto, but I can see Cotto out pointing Margo. Cotto will do body work that will slow down Margo. I just don't see Margo being able to throw 100+ punches a rd after taking so many body punches. He will walk through anything Cotto throws at his chin, but I don't think is the same story to the body.

    Nothing slows down Margo, including body shots. He will run through Cotto.

    His only chance to last the fight is well-placed body shots and a lot of 'cute.' But I don't see it. I think at some point Margo overwhelms him and once the train starts rolling downhill, coupled with Cotto's paper jaw, you could see an emphatic knockout of Miguel.

    Dude, Cotto has arguably the best body attack in the game. Who has Margo fought that can hand out the body attack that Cotto gives. This is something that I will believe when I see it. IMO, Cotto can slow him down with the body attack.

    Cotto would pick Margarito apart and bust him up in selective spots.

    Indeed. Like Cintron, Cotto's whiskers are rather suspect. I would expect to see him warn down and stopped in the middle to late rounds.

    I disagree, he has been wobbled by Corley, and dropped by Torres (pushed down, although he taking shots in a firefight). But he has faced some big punchers (Torres, Bailey, Pinto, Judah, Maussa) and he has weathered all adversity and come out on top. If his chin is as suspect as you say, he would have been dropped more or stopped by now.

    I think his chin pretty good to be honest.

    do you really think that Cotto fought HARD VS GOMEZ ??AA

    Come onnnn, that seemed like a sparring sesion for Cotto, he can also take hard shots like margo, don't let the younger Cotto fights fool you

    Cotto is improoving his boxing skills in every fight

    Margo is hard fight to anyonebut damm why the **** Cotto will hzve doubters, damm a lo of people was thinkig that Gomez was going to beat Cotto and again cotto shut the **** him up, just like the one the put him to lose mosley, judah, quintana, malignaggi, abvdullaev, Pinto ect. I like when he shut up people like the one who put this tread, Margo vs Cotto will be a hard fight by no means wil be easy but still cotto would win

    Margo wont be swarming him when Cottos left hook is breaking his ribs trust me on that! Margarito has a great chin I'll give him that but lets see how his ribs are :)

    The key for Cotto is to beat Margo's body, not his chin :yep

    Thats exactly the same bull**** they were saying about Gomez. How bid he was and how he used to fight middleweights. Cotto will knock Margarito out in 9. You can save this comment

    . . . I'm seeing it at 55% chance for Cotto to knock out Marg and 45% chance for Margarito to knock out Cotto.

    :yep

    It's seems better at welter, but what top PUNCHER has he faced since he moved up? Pauli?? Gomez? A used up Judah?? Margarito is gonna put those questionable whiskers to the test, and my bet is they don't pass it.

    Margarito has decent punching power but mostly overwhelms opponents with his workrate and pressure. I would definitely say Judah has more one-punch knockout power than Margarito does
