Who besides mysellf thinks Margarito is underestimating Cotto's punching power?

I think its cotto's body work that will do the damage. I dont think head shots will affect tony much. he was taking flush shots frmo cintron without a problem. and cintron is a big puncher for 147.

Puas I have mad respect for you bro..... Great post and let the best man win.......

if they was both in the hood fighting you'd pick cotto if they weren't who they are cotto is muscular and margarito is hella hella thin. plus I don't see margarito doing any strength training. cotto is and we've also cotto beat people the f up. and I have felt the whole time everybody been talking about this fight that they were really overlooking cottos power. saying cotto got speed margarito got power. bitch cotto got power and speed and skills. not saying he can't get caught but theres a reason margarito a 2 to 1 underdog. angles clean punching and accumulation creates knockouts and who does that favor. C O T T O.

Taller yes, but stonger i don't think... Strenght wise I think it is 50/50 cotto. :boxing: Edge going to cotto because of stronger legs and shorter arms. I just got feeling though man, tony is going to catch cotto with an uppercut or two that is going to put him on the canvas. Cotto comes in with his head low, almost rushing

Taller yes, but stonger i don't think...

Don't know but if thats his aproach I can see him walking into some very big punches... specially that left to the body.

I read some clips off espn chat from yesterday where Margarito repetedly downplayed Cottos punching power. Is this guy serious? Is Cotto fighting him with his hands tied behind his back or something ... All he talks is abouto KO and what a threat he is... Tell you what if he opens up fighting the way he did Clotty, dude doesn't pass 5... I think he is not overestimating but feeling more confident cuz he is the bigger guy!:boxing: Cotto is more stocky though, that should negate things!

did you just compare cintron to cotto? and were you serious? Cintron punch harder but he is not as quick as Cotto and not doesnt have mobility. Cintron also get discourage easily

Cintron's shot were smuttered. Cintron fought Margs game and just stood there and ate shots, letting himself get hurt and weak and his punches get weak. Let Cintron stand there, set and unload on Marg MORE than once and see Marg hit the canvas hurt. You say Marg took Cintrons best shots, Cintrons shots were smuttered. Everybody downplays Cotto before a fight and he always comes through and proves them wrong. His Bodyshots will wear and slow Marg down.

I'm pulling for Tony, but, unbiasly speaking, I would not be surprised to see Margarito hit the canvas. Skills tell, and Cotto has got skills. The point I'm trying to make can be explained using the example of Floyd knocking out Hatton, while Kostya Tszyu wasn't able to put a dent in Ricky. KT being the much harder puncher, but Floyd being better skilled. Floyd created the KO opportunity with angles and timing; a surprise punch that Ricky was unable to brace himself for. Tony was never phased by Kermit Cintron, however, with Cintron, what u see is what u get. U see the power coming, and if you don't have the whiskers, its lights out, whether u brace yourself or not. Tony has the beard, but if he don't see the shit coming, it's a whole 'nother ball game. Cotto may be able to create that KO opportunity, and I think that's the game plan come Saturday night. It's Tony's WILL against Miguel's SKILL, which will prevail???

Cotto put a spankin on Cintron, we all know that....

cintron is a big puncher.stop being fucking idiots.

I!!............

thats exactly what i'm talking about Cintron who?

doesn't really matter.he took cintron's shit.
