      Yeah? Nobody was able to withstand Tysons pressure until Buster knocked his ass out, what's your point?

        You're right...I like Cotto and all but he does get hit with Uppercuts and Straight leads (left or right hand leads) alot. Look at the Judah and Mosley fights...In the Judah fight it was straight lefts and uppercuts..Mosley was hitting him with right hand leads and right uppercuts. So if Tony can manage to find a home with his uppercuts...I'm liking his chances..

        Damn...This **** is just nerve wrecking for me...I want to run with Cotto, but something tells me Margorito might pull this one off. ****....I dont know..its a toss-up fight IMO.

          I think the only way Cotto wins is if Tony beats himself, if Tony gets to watching the Torres tape or the Judah tape or even the corley tape it might just get to his head, especially knowing he has the better chin of the two, in my eyes Margarito has this fight in the bag, its his to lose. sure in recent fights he looked sloppy but he has had long lay offs, and in his fight with Clottey he had a strained Ankle.
          but recently his footwork seems to be a bit better and his shots seem to be a bit straighter perhaps he has been working on some specifics in the gym since his fight with Williams.

            Cotto is the better boxer, but I feel that Cotto won't come in to "box", he's going to want to establish his power and brawl Tony in the beginning of the fight. But if by round 8-9 Tony hasn't bulge by Cotto's power then he will try use his better boxing to try and get a decision. However I feel that if this is the case, Tony will continue to chase him down, not letting him feel comfortable and start landing on a worn out Cotto, possibly scoring a KO in favor of Margarito.

              Yep yep, I noticed that a lot too after watching Urango fight last Wednesday, they both use that "bull-like" or earmuff defense/stance when they come in, making it a perfect target for uppercuts and like you said, the uppercut is Tony's most effective and favorite punch. If Cotto decides to come inside, Tony will land that uppercut with a high %. It's going to be a great fight guys.
