    Zab Judah hits twice as hard as Antonio Margarito at 147?

    Really?

    Why? Who is Margarito fighting? Ray Robinson? You sure make it sound like it.

    Either you think Margarito sucks, or Cotto is Jesus Christ.

    Probably a dirty corrupt judge. But aside from that, I am once again going to pick against Cotto and again i'm hoping I get it wrong. AM to stop Cotto late on.

    Judah's one punch power is MUCH harder than Margarito's. Margarito is a volume puncher who doesn't even throw with full force most of the time. And when he does throw with full force, it's not comparable to Zab's power punches thrown at full force, which are extremely fast and often times very sneaky, unlike Margarito's punches which Cotto will see coming easily.

    Cotto is Jesus Christ compared to Margarito. Seriously, Margarito is worse than Mosley, Judah, and even Quintana. It's a step down, yet to the boxing world it's a "superfight" and it will be the biggest win of his career. I can't wait for it though. Cotto is going to destroy Margarito so beautifully.. I had two dreams about the fight already. :lol:

    Judah hits harder than Margo :nono faster yes, but not harder. Margo has a very good chance of taking out Cotto. Only if Cotto gets drawn into a fight and neglects his supirior boxing abilitiys. I think Cotto is too smart for that, but at the same time Miguel can't resist a scrap, :bbb being a natural fighter.

    Cotto is Jesus Christ compared to Margarito. Sounds like a bumper sticker.

    I guess we'll see about that. :bart

    I think you'll be surprised at just how competitive this bout will be for the two of them. :good

    Some of you Cotto fans are taking lessons from Fraud groupies.

    Obvioulsy Cotto is the slight favorite and the technicaly better "boxer" but to pretend like AM has almost no chance is just plain stupid.

    Margaritos best qualities as a fighter would be his toughness and determination but toughness and determination dont always win fights Im sure as ive seen in vids with Cotto sparring bigger guys that he has prepared himself well for the test..

    I have to say this. DO NOT expect Margarito to have the same punching output against Cotto than he had against Cintron.
    Remember the counterpunching and hands speed will be a lot better than Cintron's. Plus, Miguel likes to punish his opponents shoulders

    Cotto should be OK. As long as he doesn't have an accident against one of Margarito's uppercuts. Margarito is a good finisher. And if Cotto gets hurt.....
    But I see Cotto winning. Probably by TKO

    Cotto outboxes Margarito from rounds 1-9 with a few tough moments then for the last 3 rounds Margarito will make the fight real fun

    I remember mosley saying he was surprised how cotto mixes up the brawling & boxing skills. If cotto goes out with the game plan of winning a decision he will achieve it. The only real question is if they stand & trade, does margarito have the power to take him out. I don't believe he has. Its not as if margarito hasn't been beaten for several years, the williams loss is still very fresh in my mind.
