A heart will take you long ways, I didn't think much of him because of his slow, wide punches but his will and determination just make him an awful tought fighter to get in the ring with.
He doesn't have the best skills but if you don't execute your plan to perfection he'll break you down. In the earlier rounds when Cotto didn't invest in his body attack and Marg did so I knew it was going to come back to hunt Cotto. Cotto was banking on taking some rounds off but that startegy doesn't work against a relentless fighter like Margarito, it almost unhuman to have that kind of persitence on offense especially when he was taking so much punishment from Cotto.
Cotto was just gased out, he couldn't even lift his arms to block punches. Props to both fighters on a great fight. I was wrong Margarito's skill set is not that good but he still can beat the best with heart and will.
