Margarito will KO Cotto if they fight

Cotto will stop Margarito.

 

:deal
I don't think Margo would be very hard for Cotto to handle, but I wouldn't mind seeing this fight

 

He'd outbox him, counter him, and dig to Margarito's body inside. A difference in class.

 

Cotto is definately the better boxer and might leg it a bit to survive early rounds if Margarito starts out strong. Margo definately listened to advice here and in other spots about his slow start against Williams. He should have never lost to Williams and had he started earlier he would have had Williams drained and knocked out late. I have no doubt about it.

Cotto impressed me tonight which he usually does anyways. He didn't take Gomez lightly and beat him all the way around. He has good handspeed and good power because Cotto very rarely hits hard places. His bulk work happens in the soft, sensitive spots that make you think twice about being a prize fighter.

But that said, he won't stop Margarito. Margo is one of the only guys I've seen get up and win a fight after getting hit on the liver solid. And these days Margo is very good about protecting his body. Cotto will likely tag him clean upstairs but those body shots are not going to be offered without a stiff price. And Margo's uppercut is as stiff as they come in the division. Cotto is going to have his work cut out for him. Of course the trick here is for him to use footwork. He cannot muscle Margarito or he gets stopped. You can bet on that.

I can see a fast start by Margo heavy uppercut strategy really ****ing Cotto up. And with that a late stoppage. I'm still very convinced that Cotto won't find Margo's body easily. Not with those uppercuts coming back.

 

I read some body naming Cotto a cute fighter nobody punch with more authority than Cotto every punch hurts this guy has become a real destroyer on top he got the best jab and body snatching attack in the division.

 

TRUE, but I think Cintron hits harder than Cotto.

 

my head says margarito but my gut says cotto

it be a great fight for the fans

 

No. Margarito had a guy in front of him who he knew he could destroy because he did it before. That's why he started fast.

 

wtf!:huh its not even a close match up looking at every department: hand speed, footwork, power, ability to hit from the outside, infighting techniques. cotto would have a hell of a good night target shooting from the outside and roughing up margo in the inside with his short and poowerful uppers and hooks.

 

Cotto's foot movement would cut Margo's activity in half. Cotto would outbox him silly.

 

He'll KO him because he was able to beat Cintron? Damn some of you people flip flop on fighters way too much.

 

Dude did you not listen to the interview afterwards? They knew they started too slow in the Williams fight and it cost them. Look at the two fights since then. Margo has come out guns blazing.

They took the criticism well and made something of it. Had he started slow tonight or even against Johnson he may have been worked to a losing UD. That Williams fight was just bad strategy all around. Margo should have never lost to Williams.

 

Cotto would beat Margo 8-4 if not by TKO.

 

Remember how bad he looked against a slick boxer like Clottey, most of the shots Clottey landed stopped Margo from coming in time and time again. Plus all the shots Margo landed in the last half of the fight did nothing to him.
