Margarito isnt the first in your face fighter cotto has ever faced, and cotto has been training for margaritos style for months it wont be a major problem for miguel.

what other decent pressure fighter has he faced?? the only one i remember is ndou. go watch that fight and educate yourself.

I dont think so at all. Cotto has been battle-tested. Againest Torres, and other fighters who had him hurt and where he railled from especially being weight drained at 140. Guys faced people who were suppose to finish him and he always came back and won the fight. Thats the reason I see Cotto winning this fight - he will not fold on Marg's pressure, no matter how "devasting" it is. He has a plan for the pressure and I expect to fully use it come fight night. Think Margs a warrior? You can say the same bout Cotto.

margarito is an easy style match up for cotto. cotto will be blocking and countering margarito with ease. this is a bigger mismatch than ppl think.

Same could be said for Maragarito, N'dou was a long time ago by fighting standards Cotto has improved vast amounts so has his chin. Margarito hasn't fought someone like Cotto, Cotto hasn't fought someone like Margarito. I see Cotto winning because he is capable of boxing and switching up his game. Margarito has one game plan and that come forward in your face all night long.

There's nothing Margarito has to offer that Cotto can't handle. Like dude said above, Cotto is battle tested and knows how to overcome adversity.

The question is can Margarito hang with Cotto's style (or styles) for 12 rounds.
