Will Cottos chin hold up to Margaritos power???

[Addison]

How the hell do recall this so quick? You're the man. I'm going to have to check this out tomorrow morning, it's almost 4am I'm feeling wobbly myself. Thanks again.

No prob, Dan. Let me know what you see.

This will be a A shutout by cotto. Margarito could have an Iron chin and Iron fists but, he is not even close in the speed depatment with Cotto. Margo have the power but not the speed nor the skills to knock Miguel out. People are overhyped because of his display agaist Cintron. Miguel will get innsede and outside, to the body to the head everywhere on Margos anatomy. You will see Margo getting stop with a left hoook to the body. Margarito loves to throw that right hand uppercut and he is goig to be open for that left hook to the body all night long. He may rock ebery now and then but he will be outclasss Cotto is just in another level!

I agree with you on that.

Eventually in this fight he'll have to trade with Marg....Cotto trades punches in every fight.

EXACTLY AND IF HE GETS HURT TONY IS GONNA RING THE BELL ON HIM THEN ITS LIGHTS OUT!!

[Pullcounter]

Please dont flame this thread..I jus want to know what most people think about it.....


Cotto has been rocked in the Corley..Torres..Judah..and Mosley fight.

I think Margarito throws more then Shane/Judah and weill land more because of it...albeit mssing some but still...

I dont know if Cottos chin can take what hes in for.

We all know Cotto wont dent Margaito..I mean he laughed at the hardest hitter in the division.....

margarito will never be able to tap that chin... cotto will outbox margarito easily.

A big LOL to all the delusional 24% of Miguelito's nuthuggers so far saying yes. LOL you people are obtuse as ****, Cotto's glassy chin is going to get shattered by Tony's punches, you'll see.

Margarito is not a hard fighter to figure out. He comes straight at you and drops his hands when he throws the right hand (as seen with Paully and Cintron). He has no defense. That'll be open season for Cotto to throw 2-3 hit combos.

Cotto will hurt him to the body and eventually it'll take its toll.

Cotto is going to drop Margarito.

Delusional Puerto Rican fan, your boy's chin is getting shattered bra', just face the facts.

I don't want to shock anyone here, but my answer is no.

Cotto's chin is a big, big problem. People know that he was hurt by Mosley and Judah at 147 - but what they may not realize is that he was buckled and stunned by Carlos Quintana and Alfonso Gomez - yes, Alfonso Gomez! Gomez caught him square a few times.. Once Cotto's arms flared out in a shocked reaction, another time his legs wobbled and his upper body tilted. It's like he has some sort of disorder or disease.

Cotto does not like to be hit. He is not good whatsoever at taking punches, and when Margarito fully exposes this reality people are going to be devastated. Me, all I will do is cooly and quietly sip a glass of lemonade when the time comes. There will be no surprises here. Just fond admiration for Miguel Cotto, and his ability to keep his secret for soo long - and his accomplishments so grand, despite his vulnerability.

Cotto's Boxing ability is pretty good and is mobility is also better than average - but not anywhere near where it would have to be stay out of Margarito's kill zone for 12 rounds. No where near.

Personally, I'm angry that Bob Arum and Top Rank are setting Cotto up like this. It's disgusting. They know what's going to happen.

Cotto and his team will tape both the right and the left like they did his left against Gomez for this one.. You won't be able to read "Cleto Reyes."

At what point exactly did Gomez hurt Cotto, I watched 3 times and all I could see was Gomez getting pummeled.

No prob, Dan. Let me know what you see.

In the Quintana fight Cotto does get pushed back by a left, it looks like he loses his footing after missing a left hook right before the bell though. It was a little harder to tell with the Gomez fight becasue the camera was at a further distance. Good eyes though. What I do like about Cotto is his ability to recover after he gets stunned, even in the moments you mentioned, he comes right back after getting hit.

After watching a few Margarito fights I'm beginning to think this fight might not be as easy for Cotto as I once predicted. Can't wait!
