    Clottey said Cotto hits harder than Margarito

    If im not mistaken he said Cotto hits way harder than Margarito which is another factor against Margarito going up against Pac am I right? Cotto was competitive against Pac and was able to land big shots on him but it wasnt enough to keep Pac off of him. Margarito doesnt have Cottos power or versatility and will basically be a sitting duck for Manny to bomb on.

    Ppl make the argument of Margaritos height and reach but i dont think itll make a difference.

      Margarito doesn't fight tall.

            This wouldn't be the first time I've heard that Margarito doesn't hit that hard. I also heard someone say a sparring partner of his said that it wasn't necessarily the power of his punches but the fact that he keeps coming forward and knows how to cut the ring off.

            No surprise. Cotto is way more of a solid puncher than Margarito

              Cotto is more explosive, Margarito hits you with an accumaltion of punches and makes you submit. The problem for Margarito is hes too damn slow.

                Possibly with the aid of an illegal substance but no one can say for sure..All ppl can point to is cirumstantial-evidence which seems pretty strong in my opinion.

                  Well, yes, Cotto hits harder than Margarito, but def not harder than Plasterito.

                  I think you can see this in their common opponents, Clottey, and Mosley. Cotto's punches had more effect on them than Margarito's single punches.

                  Margarito is a cheater and should never be allowed to fight again. These are the events that tarnish boxing. Why would you let a bank-robber work at a bank after his release from prison?
