OK so Marg has a very good height advantage will it help him.......

It means there is more body for Cotto to hit.

Longer reach makes it harder to get there..

Pros and cons to it really.

I don't think it will help him simply because of his style, He can't use it to his advantage and outbox Cotto like Williams did to him.

Margarito doesn't use his reach to its full advantage, but does use his height to get excellent leverage on his punches. His uppercut will be a key to the fight for him.

Yeh i honestly dont think that will come into play

Did anybody notice Marg had sneaks Cotto was barefoot ...

Only helps if Margarito is a boxer/mover which he isnt, He would give away his height advantage when he starts to brawl.

Agree.

This will be an inside fight.
