Margarito isnt that fast, but it doesnt matter, if hes throwing a ****ing barrage of punches, some of them are going to get in, volume alone will score him some clean hits, 12 rounds of this is what i am not so sure cotto can handle, but i have been wrong about cotto before.
At this point, i dont really know if cotto can stand up to 12 rounds of intensity

that is not cottos style and it would be fairly amazing if cotto sat in a shell, used movement and didint allow margarito to get to him, because thats something we have never seen from cotto, clottey and cottos defense and offense arent similar.Comment

margarito wont respect cotto power if he didnt respect cintron hes not gonna be cautious against cotto even if he eats some hard shots (which he also did against cintron)
i can understand why margarito feels confident he knows cotto punching power wont be a problem and he thinks his reach will be enough to catch cotto if he decides to box backwards
i guarantee margarito is gonna keep coming no matter what, hes a mexican warrior he will pressure cotto until the final belt rings or cotto goes down
cotto biggest chance is to do his best calderon imitation, circle around the ring throw some fast combinations on the inside and then keep moving while using the jab to annoy margarito
problem with acting like calderon is that calderon style depends alot on hugging when the opponent is close and i dont know if cotto can clinch marg effectivelyComment

Where was Margarito's intensity in the Clottey fight? I saw Margarito throw hundreds of inefective punches that couldn't ko a man who for all intents and purpose had given up. Even as discouraged as Clottey he was he was still able to hit Margarito at will in the 12 round.
Just because he destroyed Cintron a man who's will wilted and just stood there and took a beating. Doesn't make Marg this unstopable force of nature. What I see in Marg is a big strong welterweight with a good chin, decent power and good stamina, who lacks the proper boxing skills and defense to beat a world class fighter like Miguel Cotto.Last edited by BMWM3P; 07-09-2008, 08:55 AM.Comment

I think Cotto is the better fighter, with the better skills and much better resume. But if styles make fights, and cotto for whatever ungodly reason cant move out of the way of a right hand, if he cant make margarito respect his power, margarito is going to likely stop cotto, and i say this not because cotto has no chin, and not because margarito has all this great punching power, its because i am really questioning cottos ability to give it all for 12 rounds. 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.Comment

See thats the thing, you are comparing clottey/cintron fights to this one, if you read my initial post, i dont list margarito as being very good at all, its just his style that presents a matchup problem for cotto, because if margarito comes out guns blazing and cotto doesnt make him respect his power, cotto is in for the fight of his life, and lord help him if he loses stamina in the later rounds. None of the people who agree with me (save a few) think that margarito is some crazy world beater, its not that, its his style of 12 rounds of throwing punches all the ****ing time.Comment
