first my disclaimer as not to ruffle feathers:
Both guys have ways to win this fight, both are talented in their own way and both have tremendous heart.
OK on to my point Margarito knows only one way to success, push forward behind lots of looping, hard punches breaking his opponents down. This will likely be his undoing because Cotto will capitalize on his mistakes(counterpunching), will work behind a punishing jab, and will also break Tony down to the body in a manner that Tony isnt used to. Cotto also posseses many key advantages: handspeed, offensive variety, good movement and the abilty to adjust within a fight. Tony seems to win fights on being the tough guy, taking punches and delivering so many that most of his opponents eventually crumble. I dont think that kind of fighter will be able to beat Cotto at least decisively or without taking a severe beating in the process.Comment

Styles make fights, and this is a bad style matchup for Cotto. Tony is bigger, stronger, has the reach adv., and has an iron chin. He will come forward, Miguel will land shots, but Tony will also land shots because Miguel's defense really isn't that good, and neither is his chin. Tony has the better chin, and that will win him this fight.Comment
