How Exactly Can Cotto Win?

[Addison]

Dude, you don't come across as intelligent or competent at debating whatsoever. If anything you come off as a nuthugging enthusiast with a superiority complex; however, it's pretty evident that you are quite lacking in the aforementioned ability and the only thing you've done here is state your opinion.

Pfft.. WEAK ****.

[Addison]

Ha ha that doesn't mean much coming from someone who thinks he can judge someone's intelligence from a few threads on a boxing forum, as soon as someone comes up with something you don't like you resort to insulting them with nothing related to boxing. Il come find you and your little bum buddy on here after the fight.

I didn't realise picking the favourite makes me a cop-out, just thought it was common sense. I suppose everyone who picks floyd jr without an elaborate detailed explanation are cop-outs. A cop-out in this fight would be sitting on the fence and saying it could go either way, margarito has never seen anyone nearly as good as cotto simple as that, the sooner you realise the better.

That's what I think of you. End of story. Live with it. Deal.

I'm disappointed, Addison.

The only way i see Cotto winning is if the ref lets him get away with repeated low blows.

What have you seen to date to suggest that Cotto will not respond well when he is hit with adversity? He has been hit a lot, rocked, dropped, and nearly stopped in the past but he has responded every time.

You make it sound like Cotto will throw the kitchen sink at Margarito, who will take everything, and then Margarito will just start unloading on a guy who has run out of answers. I think Cotto is more intelligent than that. I doubt he'll underestimate a guy like Margarito considering his rep.

...Yep, this aint Kermit Cintron. Cotto always deals with adversity and he will in this fight as well. Margarito is going to get beat up and brutalized just like all the rest when it's all said and done. At least I hope that's how it goes.

Addison, one punch could probably kill Lindros with his weak ass head. Hahaha...what a ****ing joke you are.

LOL.. That was a beating you put on em.

Addi, serious question, I want to get your opinion on this. Based on your predicted outcome of this fight, do you think it would of been any different if it would of taken place last year as it was schedule to happen instead? mind you Cotto not fighting either Judah or Mosley, as well as Margarito not losing to Paul Williams that night. Do you still see Margarito winning decisively or do you see Cotto winning this fight?

Go ahead and tell me what you're basing that on. Do you know ANYTHING about Lindros as a fighter? I have hours upon hours of him beating the **** out of everyone in the NHL. He NEVER lost a fight. Are you that ******?????

Cotto might show us the will of a Joe Frazier, refusing to back down after getting knocked down.
Margarito might show us that he doesn't like tougher guys, and eventually foil when pressure doesn't work.

Cotto might look like Ali when he feel the sheer force of Margarito, running like the ***** some claim to see in him.
Margarito might look like another version of Foreman when he drives Cotto back with the force of his punches.

Cotto might show heart like Ali.
Margarito might show ******ity like Foreman.


There is alot of if's and butt's around this fight, but ignore that and look at the facts for a minute.

- Cotto is not as strong as Margarito, forget about it.
- Margarito is by far the bigger man.
- Cotto has shown us that he doesn't like being pushed back.
- Margarito's style is all about pushing people back

- Cotto boxing backwards has often been interpretated as brilliant boxing ability.
But could it also mean that he gives up his ground if he's facing a wall? I think so.

- Cotto has shown me vulnerability to body punches. Margarito can hurt people to the body.
- Cotto was pushed within proximity of his limits, both mentally and physically, against Malignaggi. That was nothing compared to what he'll be facing this time around.

- Margarito is mexican. They are very used to being manhandled to the body. Cotto's body attack will not be effective, at least not to the extent some expect it to be.

-In order to get to Margarito's body with hooks and uppercuts, what does Cotto need to do?
Exactly, he needs to get close. How?
By doing what he does best, lunging in, face first.

But what is Margarito's money punch?

That's right, long uppercuts.

Tyson, you bring SOME facts into the discussion - but these are disputed, son:
"Cotto is not as strong as Margarito, forget about it." True - Moseley was stronger than Cotto
"Margo is the bigger man" TRUE - so where about 10 other fighters Cotto has oppossed
"Cotto vulnerable to the body?" WHEN??? Margorito was put to the canvas with a bodyshot.
"Margarito is Mexican. They are used to being manhandled to the body?!!!!" HUH? YEAH - I guess Castillo slipped against Hatton and De La Hoya slipped against Hopkins, and oh yeah, did I say Margo was downed by a bodyshot...

"How does Cotto get close?" BY LUNGING? Dude, Margo is going to be in his face - Tony doesn't use his height to keep distance - surely you know that.

"Right, LONG uppercuts..." Cotto - left, right to the body - read a mag, watch TV, here comes the uppercut - SWISH!!!

Your IFs and BUTs were excellent - noone's brought that analysis to the forum - but then you had to ruin it... It's gonna be a helluva fight!
