That mosley fight made me wonder, alot of it has to do with how economical cotto got in the last 3 rounds, i mean, this is why they fight the fights, because in reality i think this might be a nightmare matchup for cotto IF margarito doesnt respect his power, because cotto wont be the bigger guy this time and hes in there with someone who isnt just going to fold under his aggression.
    Cotto can go all 12 rounds easy he is always in great shape with great stamina throughout a fight..the 3 rounds u talkin about..Cotto decided to box a little cause mosley for like 2 rounds try to switch it up and try to start bouncing around and box to connect something so cotto said **** it Imma a give him a little boxing too I aint gonna chase him let him chase me so by him backin up thats when people got excited and commentators started sayin ohh is cotto hurt I believe he is hurt dumbasses he wasnt hurt he was good...my point is cotto is good and ready to last to a 12 round intensifiying fight..he wont fold under aggression...

      cotto isn't some defensive master, but against slow-mo-margarito he will look it imho. definitely he will take some good shots from margarito but I don't think margarito has the kind of crushing power that will slow down cotto.

      we'll see what happens but i predict cotto ud margarito.

        cotto gassed against mosley. both were throwing heavy bombs early in the fight and mosley has better stamina so cotto had to box.

        cotto doesn't have to worry about this so much against margarito because margarito is slow of hand and feet.

          Cotto can't stand and **** with Margarito, thats a given. If he has a plan, and I'm sure he will, it better include the jab and not just a BS jab but a hard jab to keep Margo off balance.

          The way I see it now, either Cotto is going to blow Margarito out or Margarito is going to blow Cotto out. Both of these guys come to fight, it's going to be up to the guy with the superior technique to make the difference.

          I hope for Margarito's sake that he doesn't believe Cotto will be an easy fight. I saw the same kind of overconfidence in Quintana, he just had this relaxed air of indifference about fighting Cotto. I knew there was no way he was going to be ready.

            Shut the **** up with that common sense ****.

            This is boxing, and Cotto has the speed to embarress Tony. What you gonna do when he losses to overrated Cotto?

            Cotto is the better fighter. All Tony has is power. WOW!

            Suck on his ****?

              He also holds the record for most punches missed in 12 rounds.

              Margarito is going to think before letting those hands go after being constantly countered and busted up.
              Oh it will happen Margarito is gonna look pretty bad in this fight, He looked bad against Clottey everytime clottey got out of his shell and countered which was sparingly. Clottey wouldve won if he had been a lil busier

              Imagine what Cotto is gonna do

                Cotto isn't as tough as Clottey, his shield defense is also not as good, and his whiskers are also weaker. He beats Clottey in every other category though.

                  Clotteys style should have taken him to an easy 12round UD against margarito then all of the sudden he just stopped doing what he was doing, he was definately winning easily and then whatever injury he sustained ****ed him, he looked comfortable, confident and looked like he was on his way to victory. Cotto isnt like that though his style is different, Cotto is better than clottey BUT Clotteys style was a great matchup against margarito.

                    you have a good point but surely you will agree that Mosley is far faster than MArgarito?

                      At this point, i don't really know if Margarito can take body shots delivered by the best accurate body puncher in the business.
