    I dont agree with POWER going to Margarito. The reason Margarito has such a high workrate is becuase he's not that accurate (unless he's fighting 'hit my face' cintron). He would have more K.O's if this wasn't the case. Power comes from accuracy.

    Pernell Whitaker was a damn accurate puncher. Look at his KO %.

    Mayorga is not an accurate puncher but look at his KO%.:hi:

    Personally I believe power stems mostly from technique, how much of your body weight you can put behind a punch I'm talking about that sort of thing.

    That is a good argument. It is my opinion that Cotto is a better skilled fighter with the shorter punches and better footwork, but Margarito's timing is highly underrated, and timing is a skill in itself.

    Timing has beat and often times destroyed speed and movement.

    Margarito is over-rated. Cotto is almost in the elite level and should be there in the next couple of years as he's shown vast improvement in every fight. Margarito is still in that that slow, sluggish style and can not be classified more that a b or b- fighter. This fight is a no-brainer. Cotto by wide UD.

    You're giving him too much credit, ******ation is not always drug-induced.
