Cotto vs Margarito on paper

[JoeR]

This is taken from a post in ESB

Youth-Cotto
Power-Margarito
Stamina-Margarito
Chin-Margarito
Speed-Cotto
Endurance-Margarito
Experience-Margarito
Skill-Cotto
Reach-Margarito
Height-Margarito
Size-Margarito
Hunger-Equal
Workrate-Margarito

You cant really argue with this list. You can make a case in the power and experience department for Cotto. But Margarito has the edge on paper. But Mosley also had the edge on paper, and Cotto beat him anyway. The thing is that Margo may have the edge in most categories, but these are slim. However; In the skill and speed department, Cotto has a huge advantage.

Thoughts? How would you break down these categories? How do you see the fight end up?

power and experience should be even.

[Silencers]

I think power and experience should be about the same as well. I agree with the rest though.

[Mr. Cool]

same with stamina

Same with chin. Oh wait nevermind....

[trips420]

same with stamina

Na thats goes in the Margarito category.Tony's a freak of nature in the endurance department.

[Vasyl’s dad]

Endurance-even
Skill-undecided. Both are skilled in different ways.

Everything else I agree with.


I see Tony stopping Cotto 10th or 11th. Just too much pressure with power and strength behind it. Cotto will probably try to box first but will be dragged into a slugfest. Cotto has had a good chin at 47, but I'm thinking he's going to take more damaging shots in this fight than any other.

I think Cotto definitely has the edge in experience against top fighters and diversity of top fighters.

Cotto has experience against slick orthodox opponents like Malignaggi, and Mosley. Slick southpaws in Corley, Judah, Quintana. Pressure fighters like Abdulaev, Torres and N'dou. Akward fighters like Maussa.

Margarito's experience is not as diverse or at as high a level.
