Margarito has been knocked down 3 times in his career

Good point. I think Cotto's gonna win the fight by UD or late TKO.

All that longwinded typing and you fail to point out one simple fact. Margarito hasn't seen anything like Cotto in his career. He has seen power punchers, but not as accurate as Cotto. You talk about Margarito's abilities but you fail to mention Cotto's. Margarito has no defense and like Samuel Peter showed, you can get your chin checked and get tko'd if you don't D' up.

And vise versa. Cotto hasn't seen anything like Margarito, anyone as big and strong, durable, heart etc. That's why this can become such a great fight.

And if you read my post you would know I did mention Cotto's abilities. I think he can outbox Tony from the outside with the jab, and be effective on the inside with his body punches. But Margarito will force Cotto to fight, and there will probably be some trading because of their nature. This is where Margarito CLEARLY has the upperhand. He's bigger and stronger, has a better chin, is much more active while Cotto has better defense. Their power is debatable. Basicely if there's anybody that might get stopped it's Cotto. Because if he wants to knock out Margarito he will have to fight his fight and that's where Tony will dominate him.

Jotto has no power in the welterweight division and has a glass chin..actually a glass head ....he has been rocked numerous times....he hasn't really ko'd anyone in the welterweight division and Margarito will easily dispose of him with one of his famous uppercuts....no way Jotto survives past 4 rounds....All these Jotto balls lickers keep trying to find a glimpse of hope that Jotto will ko Margarito but they all know that Jotto will fight on his bike from the get go....but Jotto is not mayweather he can be hunted down and buried....I cannot believe that they will be televising an execution.......

Let me remind you again. Margarito got knocked down 3 times, once by a bodyshot. So the above in blue is wishful thinking. Cotto can hurt him just as he can hurt Cotto.

Oh in case you try to use the Muhamad Ali getting knocked down story again........Ali has defence.....Margarito doesn't.

True Story.

He have not ko anybody at WW? You sounded really ******ed! How about his five fights at WW for ending up in a KO.Quintana KO,Urkal KO,Judah KO,Gomez KO.And nerver been kd. So what your saying make no sense.

For those of you who keep going back to Cotto getting hurt against Torres and Corley or getting rocked by Zab Judah....as a way to explain a victory for Margarito.

It has been reported that Margarito suffered knockdown's against 3 different fighters:

Danny Perez (a guy Daniel Santos tko'd in 7) , Miguel Gonzalez (Tijuana defeated him by Split decision) and most importantly Juan Soberanes by a body shot.(Imagine if Cotto puts some of those bodyshots on him.) Margarito defeated all those guys by decision. Cotto knocked his guys out.


Just something to consider.

very good valid point.

And in my opinion Cotto has been in there with tougher competition and is still undefeated...so think about that.

I dont know why some view cotto as a walk in the park...because he's definately not.

This will easily be the toughest fight of margarito's career...

Considering Cotto has NEVER been knocked down, and Tony has kissed the canvas three times, WHAT THE **** DO YOU NEED A POLL FOR?
You people can't add? I guess MATH, logic and some sound reasoning skills are not needed when one aspires to be a JARDINERO/GARDENER, right?

What happend to the Common Sense Brother Hood?
Fools are acting more like MARGARITA NUTHUGGERS rather then real people with any common sense.

1st person in this thread to talk **** about races instead of talking about the match up. And he's representing puerto rico.

Cotto is going to have to box Margarito in order to win. He trys them bodyshots Margarito is coming back from a top. Margaritos defence has gotten better and will be tighter against Cotto.

I don't understand where Cotto gets the image of great body puncher, never really seen him as a great body puncher i know i used to think he could really become a great combination puncher but he never seemed to work on that.

It will be a tough fight for both guys but i think Margarito has more brute strength over Cotto and will take the win. Just as some say Cotto can **** to the body, Margarito can do just the same.

Has Cotto been tested to the body?

Cottos lucky to have gotten the decision against Mosley, people call what Cotto did boxing, lol, the guy was back pedalling. If what Delahoya did against Trinidad is called running then Cotto was running.

Against Mosely Cotto proved he could have with the top guys but he was still going back wards not forward and got stunned a few times too.

We'll just have to see how the fight turns out.

By actually watching his fights, that's how.

Are you sure you watched the Mosley/Cotto fight. Because I was sure I saw Cotto still landing some decent shots while backing up. Comparing it to the pure running Oscar did against Tito is just ridiculous.
