    How would Cotto win a rematch?

    I would really like to know how Cotto wins a rematch, I hear that he is quick and fast better boxer etc. Why couldn't he do it last night? Because Margarito wouldn't stop coming. Cotto doesn't have the mental capacity to handle being the weaker fighter. He tried to win on points but Margarito's consistent body attack slowed Cotto enough. Cotto fought the fight of his life and couldn't get away.

    How does he win seriously? How does he neutralize Margarito for an entire fight? He isn't going to be stopped by Cotto's fire power. I could understand somewhat if Margarito didn't throw such an outrageous number of power punches but he always throws punches. Cotto would have to be on his bike to get away and I don't see that impressing anyone including the judges. I just don't see how Cotto could use that style because of the type of pressure Margarito puts on, he is constantly throwing punches. Cotto would lose again in my opinion, eventually Margarito will catch him again with his swarms of punches each round, he may not land clean but all I see is a repeat.

      He would need to fight a perfect fight for 12 rounds.

      More body shots, less wasted movement, more clinching whenever he feels uncomfrotable along the ropes or in close, less wasted punches and again more body shots.

        move smartly around the ring, attack from angles, dont waste too much energy, slow margaritos punch output with body shots, plenty of head movement and clinch whenever hes in trouble. miguel will win the rematch if he does all of these things, the gameplan to beating margarito is relatively simple on paper: move only out of range no useless dancing, conserve energy, work the body and smother his shots by bodypunching inside and clinching. but it is difficult in practice.

            He need to stop backing off, Stay off the ropes and use his better boxing speed and skills to outbox Margarito and he need to do this in the centre of the ring.

            Clottey and Williams didnt run/back off Margarito they stood in the pocket (Not trading/Brawling), You need to bully Margarito to be able to keep him off you.

              He needs someone who can push him to train harder and dig deep over 12 rounds.

                i definitely think he can beat him...i just dont think he trained hard enough...he under-estimated margo!! cotto is clearly the better boxer as he proved over the 1st 7 rounds or so...but margo (and fair play to him) kept on coming....if margo didnt have that iron chin i reckon that fight was over after 9 rounds!

                  Bayless never allowed Cotto to clinch, he made it a fight, Cotto tried and Bayless said **** before he had a chance. So if it was a different ref yeah that is a possibility. But Cotto had to take body shots to give them see round 2. He wasn't comfortable and Margarito's body shots were bothersome to Cotto. I would say Cotto chose his punches very well and IMO if he didn't do those dances he would have been beaten up sooner, he was trying not to allow Margarito to set(at least that is what I saw).

                  I thought Cotto fought a very intelligent fight, an amazing performance, I keep saying it because he put on a clinic for the first 5 rounds minus the second. He was brilliant, Margarito was just relentless, Cotto couldn't get away. His stamina was good but Margarito beat on his body in the second and landed some potent ones in the first as well. This made Cotto realize that if he stood in front of him he would get hit, so he tried to box, unfortunately that is difficult with a volume puncher with power. With a granite chin, Margarito was a train and wouldn't stop coming.

                  I especially think that now we know Cotto's will can be broke and his Chin isn't the best.
