Who could have taken all those punches against Cotto...

[lance_uppercut]

At welter I think Mosely could have taken that kind of punishment...he probably wouldn't have won but he could take it. Mosely's a pretty damn tough guy.

Cotto would have stopped just about anyone at Welter that night except for Margo.

yeah, but marg isn't hard to find

[El Dominicano]

Look this was even said right after the fightand alot of people agreed...I'm impressed but Cotto didn't put his weight behind his punches. Look at the difference here

[Eric Holder]

Cotto put up a hell of a fight and landed some bombs that were cringe worthy

amazing how Tony walked through those punches

Isolated incidents man. Yea, when Marg had Cotto backpedaling non-stop towards the end of the fight, yea Cotto didn't have much weight behind his shots. But when Cotto was mixing it up more in the first half of the fight, he was landing bombs and putting everything he had into them.

Cotto was punching on the back foot. He looked like he was doing something big but he really wasn't. Cotto can't really fight backing up, he never really could.

Just watch the second round, where he turns into numerous left hooks, even doubles them up. Then he lands two uppercuts where Marg just smiles.

Mosley took quite a bit from Cotto in their fight, it wasnt as noticeable though because his head wasnt bouncing around from the punishment.
Margarito has one hell of a chin, and is tough as nails, thats for sure. I dont think his style of fighting is going to lead to a much longer career, however, and I see it being hard for him to continue his dominance far past his Cotto rematch or so.
