Easy to See that Cotto beats Marg in Rematch...

[Left Hook Tua]

Cotto needs to tie him up to slow him down and add body shots Cotto needs to come on STRONG in the first 5 or 6 not just try to box and dance away he just doesn't have the footspeed

Marg really is overrated hes just a big man with a chin no skill no speed no accuracy thats why Mosley beat him

and thats why Pac is going to **** him in 7

footspeed is not cotto's problem with marg.

he has foot and handspeed to spare with marg.

he just got tired.

[Punker]

maybe but a lot of us doubt it. Marg's pressure is still hell for Cotto in terms of stylistic components. Cotto had a **** game plan in the first fight so maybe a rematch wouldnt be as brutal with steward in his corner but it would be a feat if cotto can pull it of.

I don't know why people say Cotto had a bad game plan when he was beating the living **** out of Margarito for the first 6 rounds. Cotto's problem was his stamina combined with Margarito's plaster. Without the plaster Cotto would have outboxed him for 12 rounds.

Here's the logic...


Cotto decisions unroided Mosley

Plastified Marg beats down Cotto
Unroided Mosley beats plasterless Marg to bean dip proportions

Cotto beats Plasterless bean dip Margy


It just makes sense...

awww shut up already, margarito already made him quit once.

[BALLISTIC]

i'll bet all my points if there is a rematch between cotto and pac

[Doctor_Tenma]

It all depends on Cotto, he tends to be content on solely staying on his feet when the going gets tough. Even when Mosley landed those bombs against Margarito, and Margarito continued to smile, you saw that Mosley wasn't bothered by that at all. Cotto however...was mind ****d. He needs to have the right mentality against Margarito; look at him as 'just a human being.

[Champ Is Here]

Marg still win without the plastic. Cotto is known for being easily cut

[dj Ramos]

It took cotto 3 more rounds to stop a one legged hebrew.

you really think Cotto has a chance against Tony? My friend you are delusional.

The main issue was Cotto did not have a good enough game plan. He had a decent game plan but there were a few elements that were missing. His main problem was that he was not able to control Margo's non-stop pressure.

The key for Cotto was to have kept Margo off balance and making it harder for Margo to hit him.

Yes, Cotto could have improved on his stamina. This way, he could have continued to hit Margo then use his legs to move away from Margo BUT that is a lot harder said than done. Especially for someone named Cotto.

Yes, Cotto could have hit Margo with bombs, to slow him down, like Mosley did BUT Cotto does not have that type of offense. Some say it didn't stop Margo pressuring Mosley but it did help. From the KO, you can tell it did affect Margo.

BUT The best and easiest thing that Mosley did that Cotto hardly did was clinch when he was in a vulnerable position. Look, at his age, Mosley was NOT in better shape than Cotto. He didn't need to be because he was able to keep Margo off balance.

Cotto had no head movement, no fakes, no clinching. If Cotto added that to his game plan, he would have frustrated margo enough and win by UD.
