people are underestimating the size difference between cotto and margarito

[Pugilistic™]

Margarito has never used his height and reach to his advantage, in this fight it won't be a factor.

[ANDROID_DOES]

The fact that Marg has a reach advantage means nothing since he won't use it.

having a reach advantage like that does matter whether you use it or not. It's there and can cause problems. wake up!

That's total BS. The point of having a reach advantage on someone is that you can keep them at a distance and throw shots at a longer range without worrying about getting hit. That's never been Margarito's style as he tries smothering you on the inside continuously trying to chase you. Does Margarito even have a jab?? lol

But unfortunately for him, he's not fighting Kermit Cintron July 26th. You guys are in for a rude awakening...

Probably the same difference in size as a normal adult male and Viva.

[StraightDirrrty]

It's going to be a brutal fight..with Margarito's corner stopping it after seeing their fighter take too much punishment.

[MANGLER]

His size advantage will only help him in takin Cotto's shots, not delivering his own. Tony don't care for a jab that much and he likes in-fighting.

cotto has beating up on lightweights and jr. welterweights. he is stepping up to a real welterweight with true welterweight power who has no regard for human life.

i see Cotton Head Cotto get his head cracked like an egg.

Yeah by what ? Tony's superior jab ??

I wonder what other fighter will the Margarito lovers cling to once their man goes down on July 26th.

[Left Hook Tua]

height and size advantage means a lot. i don't think i remember cotto fighting anyone as big as marg.

punching upwards can take a bit of sting of your punches.

marg leaning on cotto could sap some strength from his legs.

i also see cotto eating solid uppercuts on the inside.

and no ****ers cotto isn't gonna be able to box 12 rounds against marg. margarito is not alfonso gomez. don't get your **** twisted.

i see cotto being the one that gets worn down on this fight. i could be wrong but that's the feeling i get. styles make fights and i think cotto's 0 will go.

marg tko 8 over cotto.
