Is Margarito the Worst Matchup for Cotto at Welterweight?

[ElGranLuchador]

i dephinetly think so cotto may have boxing skills but hes a warrior and will have to trade with margarito sooner or later
margarito is also way too big for cotto and coto chin is still unproven against a relentless welterweight fighter like cotto
but there other guys who could give cotto troubles like p williams or 150 pounds DLH so i added a poll
also i excluded mayweather cuz hes retired

I picked Margarito but him and Paul are the worst style match ups for him right now. De la Hoya I'm confident Cotto can beat even up to 154.

so then if margarito cant beat cotto
it would be logical to say cotto cant be defeated at welter or at least to say he is the best at that weight class

Correct. If Cotto beats Marg it would answer to me a ton of questions of him as a WW fighter and also obviously his P4P ranking. He would be the Ring Magazine and everyone else's for that matter WW champ. If Cotto beats Marg the only foreseeable people I see capable of beating him would be Williams and Mayweather.

Edit: He'd also be #3 P4P fighter in the world in my book maybe #2.

yo answer this im interested to know the boxing scene opinion

Williams will give Cotto more trouble than Margarito.

Margarito has one mode.

Cotto will figure his simple ass out rather quickly.

Send him home in the 8th round.

I think Williams could be the toughest thing, however if Cotto just slugs it out with Margarito, then yes. It depends on his gameplan.

imo cotto could easily beat williams hes got more boxing skills than quintana and look how much trouble quintana caused williams

I can't believe Margarito is winning this poll. Though admittedly...There's not much else to put on it. I voted DLH. Margarito's best win is Cintron, and Cintron's resume is shat.

Cotto can box as well as Quintana??????? Since when? The 4 rounds he showed against Shane Mosley? Granted they were decent, Quintana's specialty is outboxing.
