The Cotto-Margarito rematch is very interesting for a number of reasons, least of all the sheer amount of unknown factors around this fight. To list a few;
1. What did the losses to Mosley and Pacquiao do to Margarito, if anything?
2. Can Cotto hurt and back up Margarito?
3. Can Steward fix the mistakes from the first fight?
4. What will Margarito's punching power be like versus the first fight?
5. Is Cotto psychologically ready to take punishment from Margarito and still come back with more desire to win?
6. How much will the fight being in New York lift Cotto, if at all?
7. Will Cotto say to Margarito directly that he believes illegal wraps were used in the first fight?
So many questions, true compelling boxing-drama.
Regardless of how the fight goes, huge props to Cotto for stepping up and attempting to take revenge on a person who beat him in a brutal fashion.
December 3rd can't come soon enough.
why do people think it still 07
Margarito is shot to **** he obviously doesn't have any power unless he loads his gloves again his last legit win was 3 years ago
Cotto is borderline shot based on his recent opponent selections and purposely trying to drain Margarito at a catch weight (I'm hoping Cotto wont stoop that low)
Not really unknown. Clearly they're both shot. That being said Margarito still beats him.
Both clearly shot---based on what? How Pacquiao beat them?
Margarito may still win, no doubt, but how? Cotto is coming off two better performances.
Cotto will start off just like last tine, since he has no long term stamina and tires out cuz he dont got no world class conditioner,margrarito will start coming on agian.ala khan maidana,cotto might pull it out with a points win but might not.it all depends if cotto goes to that body,hes a great body puncher do it!! Remember this post.
I'd have to disagree, I think Cotto would soundly beat Margarito. Cotto is the more polished fighter and even though his power is not really there he can easily outpoint and outbox Margarito, as he was displaying in the first fight. Nowadays El Tornado is just good as a punching bag.
