How funny will it be if Margarito crushes Cotto?

True, maybe. But i think Margaritos ability to keep punching and walk through his opponets power is where Margarito eventually catchs up to his opponets. They both like to bang to the body, they both can punch, they both have been stunned, but I think Margarito when stunned was able to recuperate faster. If Margarito gets Cotto hurt, he will be all over Cotto. Margarito has the size and power to really corner Cotto and take advantage of him being dazed if even for a second. Yeah, I think Margarito has good power and a punchers always risky but I dont see Margarito as that 1 hit puncher that is really dangerous. To tell you the truth I dont see Cotto as that either. I just think Cotto has more ways to win this fight. I think Cotto will do well inside (but more dangerous for him) and also do well boxing and picking his shots and unload in spurts. Margarito's lack of 1 punch KO power will enable Cotto to box if he feels that Margarito is too powerful and is hurting him on the inside. It wont be pretty but Cotto could box his way to a decision. Clottey is a more limited boxer but was still able to outbox Margarito at times in order to recover from his hand injuries. I always and still think that boxers are more dangerous to Cotto than punchers and brawlers. Someone like Zab with huge 1 punch power and slick skills could would give Cotto all he can handle.

Everyone expects Cotto to win, or at least be a very difficult fight for Margarito, but how funny would it be if Margarito lands a big hook or right hand, right off the bat, and knocks Cotto out in less than a minute? Or more realistically, just stops him early, within four rounds. Hey I respect Cotto, he's a warrior who comes to close the show, but Margarito is one of my favorites and the stink of hate over this guy is becoming overwhelming. Some guys spend more energy bringing down fighters they dislike than supporting the ones they're fans of. Margarito is not only a step up for Cotto, it is a poor style match giving Margarito the style advantage. Cotto has a static defense, and given that Margarito likes to mix it up, Cotto can expect to get hit frequently. If it comes down to a slugging match, Cotto may have the power advantage but Margarito is a big welterweight and a bigger man can take a bigger punch. Cotto has been wobbled in the past so it would seem his chin is a bit soft. Personally I think Margarito has to be the favorite despite all the shit he has taken for his recent lackluster performance.

i consider hitting and holding fighting like a bitch. floyd doesn't do that very often. people say he's "running" when he moves and controls the ring, but i call it ring generalship.

Marg is solid but he has been hurt before man against who ?

I wouldn't be laughing i'd be crying, but not through any hate for Margarito. It's just that Cotto and mini Klit are the two fighters I'd hate to see lose right now. I mean Cotto is so damn entertaining with his power, agression and slightly dubious chin. Similar thing with Wlad. difference being cotto doesnt fight like a bitch

YOU CANT HURT MARG.....CLOTTEY SAID HITTING MARG WAS LIKE HITTING A BRICK WALL........YOU WILL SEE IF MARG AND COTTO MEET YOU WILL SEE MARG WINNING BY KO.........LAUGH NOW BUT YOU WILL CRY LATER..........OH YEA COTTO IS ONE OF MY FAV. FIGHTERS Marg is solid but he has been hurt before man

Ferocity the thing is that the holes that Cotto showed against Quintana or Malignagi are not holes which Margarito can exploit. He doesn't have the handspeed footmovement and overal boxing skills to focus on whatever holes Cotto showed against them. However the holes that Margarito showed against Clottey are things that Cotto can use if he so choses. Overal I just think that Cotto has better boxing skills and tighter punches than Margarito who will as usual loop his punches. True, maybe.

Margarito is better then both these guys. You can't compare those guys with Margarito, I didnt' know Bazan, Cesar Bazan fought Cotto. I belive that since Mallenaggi and Quintanna were able to daze Cotto imagine what Margarito is going to do to Cotto....and some people disaggree that Cotto was dazed/hurt/wobbled wte, but i seen it with my own eyes and Cotto was dazed. People like to talk about Cotto v. Quientanna as if Cotto was flawless in this fight. Which he was not, he should a lot of holes in his game. Margarito did get dazed/wobbled by Clottey, but Clottey and Cotto are not the same fighters. I do aggree that Margarito looked drained, he will have to move up in 1 year or earlier. I bet if he loses he moves up to 154. If he wins, i still don't think he'd stay at welterweight for too much longer.

Question, What is it that people dont like about Miguel Cotto?

Fellas, always note who is talking #&(*# about Cotto...Mexicans! I read in the newspaper this morning that every single Mexican gets paid $3.45 an hour to hate Puerto Ricans for life. And a pension plan too!:owned: alot of the mexican females must be skating on the job because ive dated over 15 of em, and 3 of them being my girlfriends is grounds for firing

Wouldn't it be even funnier if Cotto loses to Urkal or Margarito loses to a nobody on his next fight? Urkal is no chump i pick Cotto and probably by KO

Im a be waiting for Margarito to talk to Cotto during the fight as he did with Clottey, "Come on Joshua." LOL. "Come on Miguel, no corras." Margarito is crazy like that. He may not be Ali, but he talks to his opponents and salutes them when they land a nice clean shot on him, lol. Haha, that would be funny, but I doubt it will get in Miguel's head. He's very mature and always seems very focused and concentrated.

True, Margarito looks beatable. But he hasn't lose at welterweight for many years now - his fight with Santos was extra close. Margarito toughness and relentless attack is what makes him and what takes him to a win. Im a be waiting for Margarito to talk to Cotto during the fight as he did with Clottey, "Come on Joshua." LOL.

Cotto is mentally tough, he can handle shit talking. Tony is very dangerous but against Cotto i feel he's out of his depth

Urkal gave a prime Tszyu a ton of trouble in there fight.

Wouldn't it be even funnier if Cotto loses to Urkal or Margarito loses to a nobody on his next fight?

Not nearly as many as Margarito showed in his fight against Clottey. He's gonna get KILLED at 154, he does not have the skills to compete with those guys. True, Margarito looks beatable.

Mark my words bro, this fight is gonna play out like the Bazan-Cotto or Maussa-Cotto fights. That's what Cotto does to taller, lankier power punchers, they're tailor made for him. Also remember how Lujan who has a similar style to Cotto but not his power nor stamina, was able to hang in the pocket and get at Margarito a few rounds until he got tired. Hurt by Malignaggi and Quintana? I saw Margarito buckled a few times against Clottey, he was very lucky Clottey got tired and also hurt his hands other wise the out come would've been different. I got lots of respect for Tony, but he's starting to look weight drained and he knows it, the same confident Tony would've fought Williams in a heart beat. I give you that, on June he won't be at his best against Cotto. Margarito is better then both these guys. You can't compare those guys with Margarito, I didnt' know Bazan, Cesar Bazan fought Cotto.
