    Margarito is a hell of a fighter but Cotto is a notch above...

    I believe Cotto will win too.
    Let me give yall my analysis on the two fighters.
    2 years ago in 06 when Arum offered PBF 8 mill to fight margo i actually thought margo was this welterwwight destroyer everyone i knew was claiming him to be. I saw his physical advantages 5'11 73'' long reach and i thought he could beat a lot of quality fighters. Only problem was i didnt see him fight before. when i first saw him fight, the clottey fight. i asked myself what so dangerous about this guy? i personally thought clottey won the fight even though he broke his hand.then i saw him fight the punisher and margo looked clueless throughout most of the whole fight. IMO it seems when margo fights a higher quality fighter he either loses or doesnt look good against him. against Cotto yes he has the physical advantages he's taller and longer reach but when has he really ever used it and outboxed someone. As for Cotto yes he has a suspect chin but if anyone can tell me when he was hurt against Mosley please tell which round cuz i missed it, he did get hit by quite a few right hands but he walked through most of them. also ppl forget SSM was knocking out guys bigger than him but he couldnt even hurt Cotto.it seemed to me that maybe Judah hit harder than SSM but thats just my opinion. Since Cotto is one of the smaller guys in the division he has held up great while moving to WW from JWW. he has also improved in every fight he has fought. i didnt even think he was going to out jab judah or SSM let alone win those fights but Cotto has made into a believer. if he can outbox them 2 then he might put on a clinic against margo on saturday night. Cotto by unanimous decision.:cool:

    I think most of the boxing world gives Tony little chance of winning and I think most of the boxing world wants Tony to win, givin his long wait and all the dues he's paid on the path to this fight. They want him to win because he is indeed the underdog both in the ring and out.
    The world loves an underdog who pulls victory from certain defeat and wills his way to a win when most thought he couldn't, but really wanted him to.
    Never a media darling, always overlooked.....Now is his time.
    Could Margarito be the new age Cinderellaman?
    Most of us hope so.

    :patsch

    Your making it sound like Antonio Margarito is a journeyman. He is the IBF Welterweight champion of the world, and beat a better fighter to get it than Gatti and Baldomir.
