    Yeah there's no doubting he's a tough guy and heart of a warrior. The handwraps thing took me from a fan to a guy who pretty much feels he used them on Miguel first time round.

    I think Manny will tell Miguel to stand his ground lot more and unleash that left hook this time whilst on front foot.

    It will be a brilliant fight yet again...styles mesh brilliantly.

    I think Margarito beats him in a rematch. Some fighters just have the other's number and I reckon this is the case with these 2.

    Even though I'm a bit of a Margarito fan, he defo loaded his gloves against Cotto. He was busting Cotto up yet never really seemed to land any clean, solid blows. But regardless, I think he'd have gone on to win anyway. The way he was just walking through Cotto's power shots and relentlessly applying pressure is what won him the fight that night.

    Cotto will probably be betting favourite if they meet again... he's got Steward on board now (even though he hasn't really looked that much better if you ask me) and Margarito has taken 2 truly savage beatings either side of a long period of inactivity, but I just don't think Cotto has it in him to keep moving for 12 rounds. By the time he reaches the 6th and Margarito's still walking through bombs and grinning them off, he's gonna start having flashbacks to the first bout and the momentum of the fight will start to shift.

    Margarito is just all wrong for his style.

    Really looking forward to it happening though, whoever wins gains some sort of redemption.

    I think that "walkaround" is going to cost Cotto again. The turning point in the first fight was when he stopped going it because he wanted to and started doing because he had to.

    I think Margarito beat Cotto again also. I would like to see Martinez fight Cotto next though.

    You have to face you're fears someday, and Miguel Cotto must fight Antonio Margarito again.

    The Margarito that turned up against Cotto looked unstoppable. He will make quitto his ***** again.
