Can Margarito fight going backwards?

[freedom213]

If he fights Cotto Margarito better not back up like he did against Lujan: (round 2 and 3)

he wont back up for a second against cotto, its the biggest fight of his life, he has bigger nuts than anybody in the fight game

He allowed Lujan to pressure. The real point is if Lujan can pressure and be that successful what will happen when Cotto pressures.

He wont step back. I gaurentee that Cotto will be the one TRYING to box becasue he will need a breather from Margs constant pressure. By the way I started the whole Cotto fighting backwards thing, then everyone started saying the same with Margs. Oh well. Margs will be to in shape and strong for Cotto. Cotto will start strong then fade and be dropped ala JT vs Kelly P 1.

ha that lujan guy looks like cotto hes probably the same size too thats how those 2 are gonna look when theyre in the ring
zab made a good point on his commentary "margarito has a good jab"

[Sealhound]

Cotto and Margarito know no other way than forward, its going to be explosive. Can't wait.

What makes you think Cotto can't fight on the back foot?

[chibomber]

This is exactly what ive been telling myself. People think that marg is the only one that will be going forward the whole fight, no it will not happen the whole fight. Marg is too squared,too open, his punches are slow thats why this guy was just slipping them. I honestly think this fight will go the full 12 because marg and cotto will have too much respect for eachother, but marg will try to check cottos chin,and cotto will try to check marg ribs.
