"It will be interesting to watch how Cotto easily beats Margarito with his speed," he said. "Margarito was my sparring partner for a couple of years. He can't handle speed."
I've been saying since the fight was announced that though Margarito is a tough fighter, he's not on the level of Cotto by any means. I see Cotto easily winning this fight using his jab, speed, footwork and "patience".
I just don't see what Margarito's going to do when rushing Cotto doesn't work. Cotto won't stay in the pocket the whole time like Cintron tried to do and let himself get hit.
As I said before, most of the Marg fans are pinning their hopes on Margarito to win by KO "assuming" he'll land one shot and floor Cotto, which isn't a good plan if that's what you're solely relying on.
Cotto wins by stoppage in 8-9 rounds
I would be shocked if Margarito wins the way Cotto's fans have been backing him. One of these guys is history come July 26th and their fans are going to be badly upset. We already know Margarito is nothing but a hype job. We're just waiting on Cotto.
Damn bro....Torres, Paulie, Judah, Quintana, Mosley. Even if Cotto loses he still isn't a hype job. He is a legit title holder and come July 26 he'll be a legit champion.
I think Cotto beats Margarito, but almost certainly not easily. No one will be shocked if either fighter wins.

Cotto's burst of attacks are a thing of beauty when he sets himself. I won't be surprised if he dominates a stationary target like Margarito.
Well put plus Cotto has decent power behind each shot. If clottey wouldve been busy he wouldve beat margarito but everytime Clottey wanted to give a nice combo he would hit Margo on the button at will. This will be interesting and probably the best fight of 2008.
Margy is gonna keep coming and coming til Cotto goes down
he will do that at first then get caught with a couple good shots then reconsider his initial game plan.
DLH would love Cotto to handily dominate Tony, but that ain't gonna happen. Even if Tony does lose, he will extract his 2 cups of blood from Cotto first.

Although Margarito has that uncanny ability to make his telegraphed punches land at will...

DLH is a fucken moron! What's he going to say if margarito wins??? Oh i wont fight margarito cotto had off night plus i sparred with him 7 years ago :wtf1: I think it's safe to say most guys margarito has fought have been faster then him does that really win you a fight? wasnt judah and mosley both faster then cotto?
The speed will be the biggest factor. When they trade inside Cotto should be able to land first every time. Still his chin isnt a lock. I can still see him getting stopped. Put it this way, if he had Marg's chin there would be no doubt.
I'm not agree with it I"m just quoting it. Dont shoot the messenger. Also, I'm sure DLH "hopes" Cotto wins regardless of who he "thinks" is going to win based on the fact that a Cotto fight is probably more marketable.
I got you. I meant come on now to Oscar.
Agreed on the speed, but Marg has a good chance to win. Come on now.
