Miguel Cotto vs. Antonio Margarito

[RL_GMA]

Ahhhhh so the Cotto haters have arrived LOL...

Margarito will be dumb founded when he gets in the ring with Cotto. If he tries playin the inside game with Cotto, he's gonna be on the floor quick.

Cotto isn't going to sit there and trade with Margarito all night man, that's just ******. He'll run circles around Margarito, throw those hooks and outbox him all night.

I can't wait though

Look at Malignaggi, Quintana, Abdulaev, Branco, Gomez and Judah.

lol those guys aren't threats like Tony is.

You're right, they aren't the threat that Margo is. However, that wasn't the point I was trying to make. I was using their faces as an example of how Cotto's heavy hands have an effect on his opponents. Cotto is very accurate and it shows on his opponent's faces.

Also, look at Margarito's first four rounds against Clottey. He lost every single one because Clottey was in his faster and able to counterpunch effectively. Do you really think Cotto can't do the same? Had Clottey not hurt his hand, I'm quite sure he would've won 9-10 rounds in that fight.

There's a difference between Cotto and Clottey. Cotto is more well rounded, but Clottey is certainly bigger andhas been at 147 much longer. Also, Clottey has that turtle defense style which is deceptive and lured Margarito into a dangerous fight. Cotto's style is different. Margarito has the added benefit of knowing he can hurt Cotto, badly.

Margarito we all know will get hit. But he can probably take it. Can Cotto go the whole fight without getting touched by Margarito's 90-punch-per-round workrate?

Margarito's workrate alone will force more openings in Cotto, and Marg is a hell of a body puncher himself.

Cotto has the capacity to make Tony look bad.

But he can make many people look bad to begin with, and people remain dangerous against him throughout the fight. That's been established.

Mosley at his size was able to bully Cotto around the ring in the second half of their fight........Mosley using his attrition alone.

Cotto is a tank but he's undersized compared to Tony and would be in against someone who won't stop throwing punches. Even if he misses 90 % of them........that means 130+ will land. He keeps the power throughout the fight, throws chopping shots and can take a punch better than anyone Cotto has ever faced. That's just the facts.

Cotto has been hurt by a sideswipe punch from Corley on the side of the head. If and when Tony cracks him (Cotto's defense isn't saintly) he's going to be in ****ing dire straits and he won't have time to breathe.

Margarito is just really tough, but I don't think he can take out Cotto and absent that, he gets out boxed. It'll be a hell of a fight.

[DiegoFuego]

This could be the Tua-Ibeabuchi of WW.

But I think Cotto will box way more and probably win a decision. MAYBE he hurts Margarito to the body late in the fight but probably not enough to KO him.

Well if he doesn't take Cotto out, yeah I think he loses the fight by default. Even if he throws 1500 punches, because Cotto will be more accurate.

That's like his thing now, he's one of those guys.

He'll keep routinely using that accurate potshotting tactic with the jab, hook and right against everyone. The people who shouldn't be in the ring with him fold........and the people who can take that barrage will be behind on points because he's fluid in his attack and gets people's attention.

70% of this sport is looking pretty I think.

I think Cotto has this in the bag.

It is possible to KO Margarito, your chin means nothing if you get rocked in your ribs and if Cotto could withstand brawling Ricardo Torres and knock him out I think he can do it to Tony.

But I think the real outcome is prolly a decision. Tony's exciting and come foawrd but he's turtle slow and Miguel can box when he has to and brawl when he has too.

Yeah but Ricardo Torres ain't no Margarito, and Margarito would never get koed by Cotto ,his mind and his Balls wouldn't let him go down too much pride, On the other hand we have seen Cotto Rocked several times when hit to the chin by Mosley, Juddah, Torres, Mosley almost had him in his last fight, So I see there is no way Cotto knocks him out . Margarito would also pressure him the whole fight Miguel would look dumb running trying to box and knowing cotto hes a brawler too so he would have to engage with Marg. Tonys pressure would make him fight him all night long . Yes Marg ain't the fastest but hes very consistent with his punches and pressure thats how he wins fights, Everybody was talking about Cintron's power and we all saw when he hit him with his best shots and Marg just smiled at him , a couple of days ago a lot of fans had Cintron by ko over Marg, So I really think Cottos best chances are to the body but still like that I dont think Marg can be Koed, Cotto can because Marg hits harder than Juddah and Mosley and Torres slow as a turtle your right but damn does he make up for it when he has the pressure and is hitting you but thats my opinion pretty soon imma have people saying Mosley Juddah and Torres hit harder than Marg.

Of course there's a difference. Cotto used to fight in the peak-a-boo style himself, but has opened up in the last few years. I'm sure he can revert if needed.

The fight is closely matched and both fighters are in for a tough test. I feel Cotto has more tools and will be able to weather the Margarito storm and fire back with some vicious body shots to Tony's long torso.

Also, Margo might be taller, but their reach isn't that far off. I seem to remember the tale of the tape from last night say that Margarito's reach was 23 1/2. I know for a fact that is what Cotto is listed as so, if that's the case, then Margo doesn't have a reach advantage over Cotto.

Tony is 4" taller and has 6" more reach not to mention a much better chin, more stamina, and bigger power. Cotto better hope his chin holds up otherwise he is in for a long night(or short as the case may be) come July.
