    Karma!

    Boxing is about technique and whether you can impose your style on the other fighter. Thats what gets me about these Margarito haters. Its always about how slow and lumbering he is, how telegraphed his punches are, etc etc. And they always pick whoever he is fighting to beat him, based on those attributes. I'm just wondering why Paul Williams is the only fighter in the last couple of years to squeak by him? What Margarito lacks in speed, he makes up for in power and volume to go along with a pretty great chin. He isn't the greatest fighter ever, or even this era, but he is a threat at welterweight.

      Clottey beat him the **** out of him for the first four rounds and Margarito/Cotto is going to look like the third round over and over again until Margarito can't take no more and goes down.
      I've still never seen that fight. I wish I had Showtime. With that said, I think Cotto will win the fight.

I just finished watching the cotto vs torres fight and how anyone thinks that cotto can handle margarito's pressure is beyond me
        People who mention the Torres fight so much just kill me!..

        Styles make fights right?...Torres was a last minute replacement for Cotto..So he didn't train for this dude..nor knew who the **** this dude was..on top of that..he wasn't even knocked downed...he was stunned..and got shoved down..and we all saw the both gloves drive Cotto to the Canvas right?...And on Top of that!!..

        What happend in the 6th rd??...BODY SHOTS MURDERED!!...

              Sorry but this fight wont be like Pavlik and Jermain Taylor LMAO...Cotto is gonna whoop his ass plain and simple

              The only threat to Cotto is mayweather and the only threat to mayweather is Cotto thats it, is that Mayweather is too busy trying to bag Kim from Reggie Bush

              And it's funny how OScar de la Hoya has Margarito in the fron cover of his magazine, I wonder why LMAO!

                  Margarito is the slowest "elite" fighter I can ever recall. Clottey would hit him with 6-7 punch combos until he hurt his hands.

                    Dude

                    If you saw the Clottey fight..you'd laff yourself into a coma..

                    Joshua had him bleeding from the ears.

                    Margarito is LIGHT IN THE ASS...totally overrated on all levels.

                      If he can land any of those punches, he threw a million punches and hardly landed any. He didn't land any flush punches and never hurt Clottey. He basically won the fight based on throwing punches and not landing any against a man who hurt both of his hands. Pressure doesn't mean **** if you're not landing.

                      At the end of the fight Clottey was still landing at will even thouth they were nothing but hard slaps. If true he has a chin, but let's see how many flush head and body punches he will be able to take.
