    put cotto in there will pw and see what he does. PW is the toughest match up for any ww even more then floyd. PW reach is the reach of a heavy weight for crying out loud. all that being said margarito could have easily won that fight. A cotto fight would give margarito his due respect no doubt!

      Marg by stoppage or points.
      It is?

      Should be a good fight but I think Cotto will come out victorious.

        Thus guy is an average fighter at best, face it.


        Although your a Cotto fan and can see where this is going, i have to agree with you.

          This isn't basketball when you have 20,000 people waving balloons, yelling their lungs out behind the backboard while you shoot freethrows with 1 second left. Boxing is a sport where home field doesnt pay any dividends. The introductions are nice and get you pumped but once the bell rings your alone in that ring.

            IDK about Marg easily winning that fight, he took punch after punch to the head with quick jabs. Tough matchup for mayweather?...i think the one thing we've learned about money may is that he's able to adapt to any style of fighter, so calling it a tough matchup would be a little overrating.

              You might just be very surprised how much wicked punishment Cotto takes from such an "average fighter". Especially from those right uppercuts Cotto eats up like candy. This will be a brutal fight that takes a lot out of both of them.

                Yea, tell that to Cotto and Madison Square, Gotti in Atlantic City when he wasnt on the tail end of his career...come on, dont deny being in your home area helps. It does in any sport.

                  Yeah I'm a Cotto fan but if a fighter is great like Floy Mayweather, hey as much as you don't like his act, the guy is a great fighter inside the ring. Paul Williams, the kid is good....I have no problem recognizing other fghters talents even if they face Cotto.

                  But this Margarito fans, c'mon the guy is just no that good.

                    you do know your first three bashings on margarito are three bashing that very well fit cotto as well. "marg doesnt have huge power" one more bash against cotto that marg doesnt have is that glass jaw

                      margarito is a very good ofensive fighter. But he only is a one style fighter. He is very easy to predict. By the way his defensive skills are very poor. He comes at you really open its like a batter trying to bat a ball of basquetball very easy right. Cotto can box, has better defensive skills, better footwork and equals in power but he puts better punches. And in genaral is a more inteligent and complete boxer.
