      I felt that fight was stopped a tad bit early. It was obvious that cotto would have ended up koing that guy, and the guy didn't even complain about it being stopped because he was badly hurt and he knew he couldn't beat cotto some fighters would have faked not being hurt and starting yelling robbery... Kind of like Calzaghe/Mitchell fight where it was definitely stopped a little early but you could tell who was going to win that night.

        Another thing I noticed was the guy Sparkman throws his punches straighter than Margarito does. lol


        Also, Cotto's footwork is so underated..

          I THINK what he was saying is that if Margarito's supporters are banking on Cotto not being able to box effectively, because he has no head movement, and he just begun to sharpen his boxing skills, then this video disproves both parts of that theory.

          No matter what Cotto fans can bring out, Cotto has never faced anyone with the chin and workrate of Margarito.
          it's true that cotto has never met a guy like margarito, but margarito has never fought an elite fighter and has come up short against lesser fighters than cotto. cotto wins by ud if he boxes... if cotto brawls with margarito it's anybody's fight.

                    And THAT is what makes it fun!

                    Margarito has never been decisively beaten (Williams won more rounds, but came out a lot more beaten up than Margarito), and Cotto is undefeated.

                    Those two will be fighting the best fighter they have ever fought. That makes for a damn good match IMO.

                    That is arguable... Mosley has good power. Judah has decent power (albeit a different kind of power). Kelson Pinto was known to be a hard hitter, although he was at 140.

                    I think Margarito has good power, but it is accumulation power as far as I can see.

                      Workrate can be neutralize by movement.

                      Ask Williams who was neutralized by Quintana.

                      Cotto has the movement to make Tony's only advantage be his chin, nothing more. Power yes, but only if Cotto stays inside.
