Those arguments are flawed:Cotto has never faced anyone like Margarito before. These are the plain and basic facts:
Cotto wont be able to deal with Margarito's work rate (Cotto averages 500 punches per fight while Margarito averages over 1000)
Cotto wont be able to hurt Margarito, and for every 3 punches he throws he will get 9 back.
Margarito fights every second, every minute of each round.
The size advantage goes to Margarito too having great height and reach advantage. Cotto better hope he boxes as thats his only chance of a win, if he even slightly gets into brawl he will get hurt badly and wont be able to hurt Tony.
1) Its easy to everage 1000 punches when you have a stationay target. Ask Paul Williams after the Quintana fight. Cotto landed 64 punches in the fourth round against Gomez. The punch output depends on your opponent.
2) Cotto is faster than Margo, and he throws compact punches while Margarito's punches are wider. Cotto will hit Margo with more punches.
3) You are right, Margo does have the height and reach advantage, and if they get in a brawl Margo will get the better of it.
I just dont think it will be enough. Cotto by decision.Comment
