You see no reason that Arum and Top Rank would want to see Cotto lose to their man Antonio Margarito?The more I think about it after reading some decent posts on BS the more I see Marg winning the fight. Hearns-Duran keeps popping up when I ask myself how this fight will unfold. I think Hearns had the perfect style and physical attributes to go along with that style that was needed to beat Duran. I'm leaning towards the same here. I think Marg has the perfect style and physical attributes to go along with it. I look at it this way. If Cotto beats Marg in my book thats it he's the Real Deal. I think Judah was dipping his toe in the Elite waters. Mosley was him jumping headfirst in the Elite waters. (Hopkins came up with that) I think Marg will be his final test. But I'm doubting now if Cotto can pull it off. Bob Arum and Top Rank must think he can win cause I see no reason why they would endanger their star while seeing fights with DLH and Mayweather in the future. At the end of the day I think Marg will just be too big and strong and throw too many punches and be too tough and will walk Cotto down. I want Cotto to win but I'm leaning towards Marg...
PS To all fellow PR's I'm not selling out this is just my opinion don't be ******ed by saying I'm antipatriotic.
At the time that the fight was made between Cotto and Margarito neither Mayweather nor De La Hoya were on the table and there was no indication they ever would be. That aside, if Margarito takes down Cotto it will boost Antonio Margarito's stock many times over for the rest of his career. All they need is a signature win to go along with the overblown reputation. Who else is Margarito going to beat, or get chance to beat, at marquis level?
It just all depends on how truly confident Arum is in Cotto's ability to remain undefeated and possibly beat a Floyd or Oscar. Based on the way they matched Cotto during the bulk of his career their faith was not undying for an extended period. I'll assume that they have the same realistic view of their fighter Cotto's limitations now, still, to some degree, and believe that it's possible he can be beaten. Better they keep it in the Top Rank family, is what they might be thinking.Last edited by Addison; 05-05-2008, 01:33 AM.Comment

Tony has been down 3 times in his career in old fights on body shots.
And Cotto has the left hook. Chin is different than Body obviously.
So to play fair lol Cotto can hurt him to the body.

Anybody can be hurt to the body, and even the head.
I will laugh in the face of anybody telling me otherwise.
However, I will scratch my head if Margarito doesn't come prepared for the bodypunching of Cotto. You know, all it takes is insane training in the stomach area and some hundred hours of deliberately taking punches to the body without blocking shots.
Chin you can do nothing to prepare.Comment
