Beating Margarito From A Tactical Standpoint..

[Addison]

Listen,
Fact is you can't pick fights, yet you come in here with the confidence of I know it all. If you can't pick that's fine but if you can't pick for **** and then you come in here giving your analysis about how smb's gonna win, that's just flat out embarassing. And you get angry cause I call you out on it?

If you weren't posting in my thread giving me points I'd tell you to shut the **** up. You want FACTS? I picked 86% of the fights correctly last year even with my little Cotto project going you ****ING ******. :wank:

That is not fair at all. Not including myself, I view Addison as on of the if not THE best analyst on this forum.

Bob is trying to bait him. I'm telling you all he wants is Floyd, put it this way if Floyd would say he would fight Cotto in July thats the fight we will see happening.

Quick question for Addison who do you pick for this saturdays fight?
and who do you pick for the july 26th fight?

Picking the winner is only half the game. Its much more fun to predict how a fight will unfold.

Yeah, I'd say you're good. Between Kayjay, Scott, Silencers, RWK, OG, Undefeated, Njord, Thread Stealer, Antonio, and some others I'm forgetting right now at pure analysis, I'd say that's very true. We got some talent here, most definately.

And more challenging.

I don't buy that, I think you also had Hatton winning against Floyd. It seems like you're always trying to pull a Teddy Atlas going with the underdog, that's what amateurs do. Even now you go with Hopkins and Margarito, slight underdogs but underdogs nonetheless. So you're pretty transparent with your picks. I've said it before, you have a knack for losing and it's not curable.

I don't believe he did. I remember this quite vividly as he thought my prediction of Mayweather backing to the ropes, hitting Ricky on the way in and then holding until the ref broke them was "interesting".

Turns out, thats what he did, and Joe Cortez was more than happy to fulfill his part in my analysis.

Im quite sure he thought Hatton had little to no chance.

At a certain point I believed that, although I'm starting to wonder..

You betting cash? Smart money?

It's highly unlikely Hopkins will be able to outscore Calzaghe under any circumstances, and even less likely he can stop him. There's only so much craft and tact you can throw to offset a wild banshee with good hands and a tremendous chin. Calzaghe should be the fav. And he is.

Cotto's advantages in footspeed, handspeed, and overall mobility will keep him in the fight, and his improving defense and tucked chin may prevent him from getting stopped. However, Margarito's workrate, punching power, and durability virtually ensures that he should be able to outwork or stop Cotto. I think Margarito is a horrible matchup foy Miguel Cotto. Period.
