    I see his chin being a bigger concern for Cotto more than his height.

      Marg overwhelms Cotto and stops him late I think.

      Cotto will try to box and move but Im sure Cotto believes he is much better than Marg so you cant tell me his pride wont make him stand and trade at times. Thats where his chin will come into play, lets see how he can take shots from all angles from an unrelenting Margarito.

        Are you kidding? Sorry pal, but even the Titanic couldn't handle certain damage. I don't think there's anything fancy to discuss. BTW, I have paid tribute to Cotto's versatility more so than anyone here. I haven't seen you around much, so I'll assume you're a fan and this is emotional for you.

            I can't imagine Margarito getting knocked out... but, I can't really see Cotto losing either. It has fight of the year written all over it.

              Margarito's height shouldn't present too much problems for Cotto because it means there's more body for Cotto to hit but it'll be difficult for Cotto to go to Margarito's body without getting hit himself.

              Margarito is a good inside fighter who likes to throw uppercuts and he could catch Cotto on the way in if he times it right, Margarito's activity level could present a problem for Cotto as well when Cotto is on the inside.

                cotto wins the last 6 and the fight. being tall is nothing, cotto has beaten taller guys before and margo doesnt fight tall at all. the only thing is possibly the margo right hand and uppercut (see the judah fight for cotto getting smashed with uppercuts), but i think cotto adapts within a few rounds and wins a wide decision
