Am I the only guy here that thinks Cotto isnt getting past Margarito?!

[AntonTheMeh]

Lemme set this straight for you bro. Mayweather DOES NOT want fight Cotto. But it IS NOT because he is afraid of Cotto. Mayweather's mind is so warped he actually BELIEVES IN HIS HEART that he is the greatest boxer of all time. Anyone THAT CRAZY will absolutely not fear any man alive. I am no mayweather fan but from a completely objective standpoint Mayweather is just absolutely TOO GOOD 4 Cotto to ever beat him. regardless of whether Cotto is top 5 p4p or not.

this is not about predicting outcomes that's saved for the fight,if and when the fight gets made it's about the fight actually happening.

Hey Addi I love your avatars man, are you big on wolves? good stuff, I like the last one you had a lot.

Thanks.

I actually had a bobcat last time out (I own a hybrid), but a friend of mine who we call the wolf was brutally beaten and almost killed the other night. He got caught caught by 4 guys with a few baseball bats. He's alive though.

Cotto should Outclass Margarito if his boxing as Good as He fans say it his...

This is a fight where Cotto needs to Show the World....That he is not one dimensional against probably the most One dimensional fighter in WW division...


If Cotto doesnt Box Margarito..and loses

Then he just proved what so many people have been saying about him all along...

This fight Should Be Cotto test to see if he can really outclass a fighter who really can only brawl....

Will Cotto try to outclass Margarito

or

Will Cotto try to outbrawl Margarito...
And I don’t think Cotto has the chin to out brawl Margarito...

You are correct about the boxing aspect. Cotto will need to box and avoid two of his bad habits:

leaning forward and becoming susceptible to the uppercut
putting on the earmuffs and eating looping right hands

those are a couple of Margarito's best weapons, avoid those and box and he could put a serious hurtin the tornado

Marg will give Cotto his toughest fight to date.

Possibly KOing him. I go with Margy by KO

I consistently fail to understand what anyone sees in Margarito.

Lets take a look at what he has going for him:

The Bad:
1. Mind numbingly slow hand speed.
2. Punching power that is mediocre at best.
3. Slow foot speed.
4. ZERO head movement.
5. Mediocre blocking ability.
6. Very very questionable boxing skill.
7. Poor ring intelligence.
8. Inability to adapt to changes in tactics.

The Good:
1. Very good work rate
2. Very good chin
3. Tall for the Welterweight division
4. He might be strong, I'm not exactly sure but I'll give it to him for fairness sake.
5. Good reach.

So we basically have a tall come forward fighter that cannot get on his toes and box, throws lots of SLOW punches without much behind them, has virtually no defense, and is easily out thought.

How exactly is he suppose to beat Cotto? If you are under the impression that the way to beat Cotto, is to stand in front of him and let him beat on you, then you are sadly mistaken.
