Antonio Margarito, having lost his WBO Welter Weight Title to Paul Williams, and his first loss in 10 years, has a sense of urgency. Watching Margarito dismantle Golden Johnson at the Garden, I wondered....."how come "THAT" Margarito didn't show up when facing Williams???

Bob Arum has been wanting to Match up Cotto vs Margarito since last year. Was it a coincidence Margarito was on the undercard of Cotto/Mosley?? Is it a coincidence Margarito will be on the undercard of Cotto/Gomez on April 26th in Atlantic City???

I don't think so!

Margarito lost credibility with his loss to Williams. Which brings me to where I say......Cotto beats Margarito!

Margarito has notable losses to who????......SOUTHPAWS!!
Daniel Santos, Rodney Jones, Victor Lozoya AND PAUL WILLIAMS!

Miguel Cotto is a "NATURAL" Southpaw, though boxes Orthodox. Expect Miguel Cotto to capitalize on this, and switch back and forth.

Cotto SD over Margarito.

I didn't know Cotto was a natural lefty!

No wonder his straight right isn't that great, and why his jab is so damn effective, even though it's not fast and he doesn't have lengthy arms... and no wonder his left hook to the body almost kills people.

Personally I feel Arum wants to match Cotto with Marg because it will make him money but he is doing it is COTTO'S favor. He knows Cotto will win the bout and so do I.

Margarito is bigger,stronger and Cotto gets hit alot, I know Margarito is slower and also gets hit alot but he has the better chin of the two and would win if Cotto went toe 2 toe with him.

is this fight even happening

i think the bumping of an old article confused peopel thinking the fight was happening.

I like both a lot i dont know who id pick. I am not sure Cotto has fought anyone who throws like margarito

I think that will be a great fight but Margarito has the reach,height,power,and chin... cotto uses his jab alot so that might keep marg off of him but i think Margarito will beat him 10TKO.... It would be one hell of a fight though!

Cotto will destroy Margarito. BTW Margarito's loss to P. Williams was not his 1st loss in 10 years. Margarito loss to Daniel Santos a few years ago.

Yeah, you're right! Margarito lost to Daniel Santos in 2004! My bad, I was looking at 1996 when he lost to Rodney Jones. In fact Margarito lost twice in '96. I'm telling you......Southpaws can beat Margarito! Cotto will switch up on him, and confuse "Tiajuna Tornado" all nite! One thing I can honestly say about Margarito....that boy can take a hit!

Dont underestimate Margarito. Cotto wouldnt have done anything to Williams either.

Cotto Will Beat Antonio Margarito!
