Just watched Cotto / Margarito again...

To win Shane should watch what Clottey did first half of his fight with Tony. He stayed close and just beat him to the punch. Margarito is good but I think some people overrate his power. He tends to wear a lot of fighters down and punish then over the course of the fight. He is strong but if he hurts Shane it would be because he wears Shane down, it wont be from one shot. I like the underdog in this one.

This fight got way too much attention. All it was was a fight for THIRD BEST welterweight in the world. Seriously.. what? In the past few years Tony has gone 8-1 against The Ring's top ranked welters. Whereas Mayweather has beaten how many top welters? ZERO. The other i'm assuming is PW. I can't knock you on that. Boy's got some skills. Tony and PW i would say share the #1 spot in my eyes. Let Mayweather keep picking on the small guys.. like Pac.

Movements Cotto must prepare to go the distance. If he works the body from the start and maintain the head movements I, can see Cotto winning by decision. He just need to give Margarito lateral movement all night long.

Margarito has more of a defense then Carl Froch in my opinion, but thats not saying much since Froch is all balls and no brains... That is why he will lose to Taylor.

... Margarito has zero defense, but he's got some serious chinnage. You think Mosley has the same or more power than Cotto? i dont think mosley has more power than cotto... cotto teed off on margarito for a couple of the middle rounds and he virtually didnt even daze margarito... i said it leading up to the margarito v. cotto fight that the chin wasnt going to be a good strategy to earn a win... the best gameplan (for cotto and just about any other margarito opponent) is to work the BODY of margarito; consistantly and frequently. everything else you should do against margarito is in the fight against cotto in the first half of the fight. (ie. staying outside, sticking and moving, being fast/slick, jabbing consistantly; etc.) THATS how you do it. Cotto wouldnt have tired out (by getting on the bike) had he slowed margarito down by working the body...as lamply once said, "its easier to fight walking forward than it is going backwards"...it takes less energy for margarito to walk cotto down than it did for cotto to run from margarito...thats where the body attack comes into play.

You know alot of people are saying that Shane is going to be KOed.. I don't really know about that. Shane was fighting at 154 for a few years fighting bigger guys. And Shane is physically strong and has a very good chin. Also about who has more power Cotto or Shane? Well it's really the way they throw punches. Shanes punches come at you faster and alot of the times its the punches that you don't see that really hurt you because you're not really prepared to get hit. Cotto puts alot more power into his punches and doesn't really throw that fast punch that will suprise you. Shanes punches are faster and more suprising when you get hit with it and don't see it. I think Shane has a very good chance at beating Margarito but with his age I wouldnt bet on it. But I wouldn't be shocked if Mosley beat Margarito.

Naa I don't think he has more power than Cotto, but I think he can run for 12. I don't think SSM will run which is why his possibilities of being KO will be higher

Mosley won't hurt him, if Mosley wins, he needs to move a lot.

SSM ain't gonna hurt Marg. No WW is.
