    BTW...you in Miami??? I'm in the 954
    I'm on the 305 area, originally from Kendall but I moved to FL City/Homestead area.

      I am not worried, I like both fighters but my loyalty lies with my boy Tony all the way. All I want to see is a good fight, a mix of all the things that makes the sport of boxing great. If Cotto likes to exchange punches like he has been doing throughout his career I want him to engage Tony so that they both can feel each other's power. It will be hard for Cotto to box Margarito when he's throwing a barrage of punches at him.

        Cotto has really excellent and under-rated boxing skills....better for us Cotto fans then, keep thinking he's just a brawler, thats what Mosley thought and look...he got defeated at his own game

          Why is movement and angles considered a bad thing to you? JMM uses it, Barrera used it multiple times when he was not the stronger guy and didn't want to trade i.e. Barrera/Juarez.

          Cotto doesn't run, movement creating angles and punching your opponents to stoppages isn't running, Abdludev (sp)/Mosley. I guess you consider Rafael Marquez a runner too? Talk about hypocrites.

            He beat him to the punch cause mosley was washed up.

            Damn alot of you are idiots.

                  Cotto has always had boxing skills its just that the average fan have short term memory.

                  If he brawls in his last fight hes called a brawler.If he boxes in his last fight hes called a boxer.

                  Alot boxing fans can`t seem to retain the memory of some of the things some boxers did in the past.

                      That was a 36 year old that Cotto fought not a 26 year old.
