    Exactly.

    Cottos best punch is the Left hook to the body and Marg can be hit to the body very easily.

    Margaritos best punch is the uppercut and Cotto is most vulnerable to the uppercut.

    Should be an AMAZING fight

If they both came to trade on the inside and Margarito were to land those hard and powerful uppercuts on Cotto's semi-glassed chin, and Cotto were to pound Tony's solid midsection, who would go down first? I would have to give the edge to my boy Tony because Cotto has been rocked in the past and we all saw Judah hurting him with his own uppercuts busting his mouth open and ****.
      i think if cotto doesnt use good defense tony gets to him.

      we all know tony's chin is superior so cotto should focus his attack to the body while protecting his own chin.

      thats cotto's best chance to win via knockout is attack the body. for tony i think his best shot is to attack cotto upstairs.

      i think the stategy cotto should use is:
      A) dont war with margarito on the inside...let margarito try to get inside on cotto and when he comes in he doesnt always come behind the jab (like most of last night) and then cotto should tag him with a quick combo (finishing with a left to the body) and get back outside...and let margarito come forward again and do the same...

      inside the popular advice of "get in; get off; get out"...the advice will be (or should be) "let him get in; get off; get out".

      B) Jab him to death

      C) work the body

      for margarito i think his stategy should be:
      A) get inside and back out behind the jab (dont just walk down cotto it wont work)

      B) start fast and try to overwhelm cotto by using 100+ punches a round (its hard to lose rounds when you use over 100 punches unless you get countered constantly)

      C) work that chin with uppercuts and overhand rights. (some of margarito's best punches)
