    Something like that. Al Bernstein is usually spot on with his facts, so I think its reliable.
    Hmm, 1996 though? He was like 12 years old..

      No, he was already a 2 year pro. So 18.

      The point is. Margarito is human. He can be hurt. I have never seen him tested to the body, so this will be interesting.

      I think we can agree that Cotto is the best body puncher in the sport today.

        Yeah, but he was only 5'4 back then.

          Cotto is the best back puncher. Hands down.

                He shot up an incredible 5 inches that summer.

                  Judging from the two polls I've made like this you have to assume that people equate faster feet with better footwork.

                    Unfortunately most people are easily confused by terminology.

                      Since you're comparing their traits you might as well add chin and stamina as well......
