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

[ferocity]

Case and point Quintana was taller than Cotto and we all know how that one ended wink wink

Margarito doesn't fight small.

I mean Quintanna bends at the knees a lot more then Margarito does.

-----------------------

Theres a reason Margarito looks so much taller then his opponets in the ring. And its because he fights tall and uses his height. Margarito will do both in that he'll box and fight. Imo, if Cotto boxes he gets picked apart by Margarito cause his timing and accurace is very under-rated. If Cotto choses to fight on the inside Cotto can also be the underdog in this as Margarito loves an inside war and his in fighting is way under rated too. Margarito going to take this and people will understand why i say he is under rated.

**** no it wont help, specially how he throws his punches all wide and ****, hes gonna get caught with a short punch and go down watch........

[Silencers]

I really don't think so, Margarito doesn't use his height.

[Golden Boy 360]

Not really

only a good reach will help him
look it all the tall boxers mike tyson destroyed

[DLT]

It will help some. Cotto hasnt faced many really tall guys so it will help in the fact that Margarito will be punching down at him which could give Cotto some problems because it blinds you at times. As for reach, it means nothing because Margarito is a straight brawler. Its not like he's going to try to keep Cotto on the end of his jab. Like George Foreman use to say though, each man has his advantages so it all cancels eachother out. Margarito will be punching down which will help but Cotto is at the perfect height to chop Margarito's body in half which is also why I think the Margarito camp was a little worried about. Actually, I dont think Ive ever seen Margarito take alot of shots to the body. It will be fun to see how he handles it

[-Antonio-]

It'll help his over hand right. It'll hurt him on the inside here Cotto's shorter punches will land first every time.

[The C.E.O.]

As far as their builds and skills....here's what I've been saying all along...


Cotto will break Margarito from the inside out.

[rizkybizness]

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.

Touche.

Scott knows wtf he's talking about.

[rizkybizness]

Cotto is not an inside fighter and I really really doubt he'll be able to keep Marg at bay with a jab or with anything else for that matter.

[rizkybizness]

I'm a fan of both Cotto and Margarito and I admit Cotto is by far more skilled. (That shouldn't even be up for debate)

What Margarito lacks in skill he makes up in grit and balls and this is why I'm goin for Tony on this one.
