Now you understand why Mayweather skipped $8 million to fight Margarito !!

    Cotto showed great boxing skills, good movement and accurate punching all night but Margarito took everything Cotto could dish out and was relentless as always !

    The thing with Margarito is that it's abnormally draining to fight him for 12 rounds if you're smaller, no matter how great your conditioning and skills are...

    Floyd would have swept the first 6 rounds easy on skills alone but he might have been in trouble once the 10th-11th and 12th rounds came up ! Margarito will always be a risk for any elite fighter at 147, no matter who they are !!

    True but PBF whole style was built around safety first and he would be more able to keep up what Cotto did but more so and even better IMO. Margarito is a tough fighter who doesn't stop but if PBF came out of retirement, I would pay to see it.
