Is Cotto fighting him with his hands tied behind his back or something ... All he talks is abouto KO and what a threat he is... Tell you what if he opens up fighting the way he did Clotty, dude doesn't pass 5...

    I think he is not overestimating but feeling more confident cuz he is the bigger guy! Cotto is more stocky though, that should negate things!

      Don't know but if thats his aproach I can see him walking into some very big punches... specially that left to the body.

          Strenght wise I think it is 50/50 cotto. Edge going to cotto because of stronger legs and shorter arms. I just got feeling though man, tony is going to catch cotto with an uppercut or two that is going to put him on the canvas. Cotto comes in with his head low, almost rushing

            if they was both in the hood fighting you'd pick cotto if they weren't who they are cotto is muscular and margarito is hella hella thin. plus I don't see margarito doing any strength training. cotto is and we've also cotto beat people the f up. and I have felt the whole time everybody been talking about this fight that they were really overlooking cottos power. saying cotto got speed margarito got power. ***** cotto got power and speed and skills. not saying he can't get caught but theres a reason margarito a 2 to 1 underdog. angles clean punching and accumulation creates knockouts and who does that favor. C O T T O.

                I think its cotto's body work that will do the damage. I dont think head shots will affect tony much. he was taking flush shots frmo cintron without a problem. and cintron is a big puncher for 147.
