If Cotto brawls with Margarito he will get knocked out.

Margarito has the toughest chins in the sport, while Cotto has a suspect chin being hurt by Corley, Torres and Judah. Also been stunned by Mosley, Margarito hits harder than all of these guys and has a better chin than all of these guys. To beat Margarito you need some sort of head movement as well, Cotto has NONE, Margarito's body shots are UNDERRATED BIG TIME.

Cotto fans: Keep underestimating Margarito...Keep calling him a bum...Keep talking **** about him, When the day comes all threads will be bumped and all of you will pack your bags. How will it feel when Cotto loses to a guy who you guys call a bum with 5 losses? Stylistically this is a perfect fight for Margarito, and I'm damn happy ill win some $ over this.

yeah, that's good, considering Margarito's opponents have gone the distance "9 TIMES!!" You can not base a punch stat when Cotto's opponent's have gone the distance only "3 TIMES"!! and Cotto's fight's average 6 rounds! (four rounders don't count!)

Cotto beats Margarito. Iron chin and all. Not by KO, but by UD. Cotto is a whole lot smarter in the ring than Marg. No one has tested that rib cage, everyone head hunts, welcome to Miguel Cotto country!

PS: I never said Margarito is a bum.

if Cotto brawls it's a 50/50 fight. if cotto boxes he wins a ud, that said, decisioning Margarito isn't gonig to get Cotto a fight with Mayweather... Cotto needs to look impressive.

Im not saying Margarito is a bum, but i dont think hes on Cotto's level either.

A lot of people said that if Cotto stays in front of margarito he is going to get Ko. So you guys only hope for Mrgarito to win if Cotto do that dumb thing. And also you hope that Margarito win if Cotto doesnt use the right fight plan and doesnt box?. Why i dont hear the margarito fans saying that marg can win a UD like they said in the case of the KO? Insecurity that he can pull of the UD? You are giving to your boy only a puncher chance? Statistics show that in the most case the guy that have the puncher chance usually is the guy who doesnt have the better chance to win because of less resources.

Just because Tony has never worked a day in his life and lives off his wife and is now riding Miguel's coat tail does that make him a bum? Anyhow...He is going to look like a bum when Miguel finishes with him for sure.

Honest question,

whats his usual connect percentage? or number of punches landed?

Joshua Clottey is a defensive fighter...

Margarito threw 1675 punches...1218 more punches than Clottey

He connected 20% of 1675 punches on a defensive fighter

meaning he landed 335 punches, and Cotto is not as defensive as Clottey, who always keeps his guard up.

one thing is for sure margarito will land way more punches on cotto than he did vs clottey

Cotto will be able to fight with two hands

Clottey will sit there and let you throw for a while, Cotto NEVER does that.

This will be an epic war, and people need to stop the name calling ****[Margadorito, Miguel Jotto etc.] and give the fighters the respect they deserve.

For the first time in a long time two true warriors step in the ring and are ready to put it all on the line for WW supremacy. These two fighters have shown pure class and full respect with out the trash talking.

The name calling on these forums has gone way out of control, I can understand some of u are huge fanatics and want to back your fighter but keep the **** respectful it makes for a better read.


PS: I am rooting for Margarito to win, but I feel this is anyones war may the best man win.
