Cotto hasn't shown he can deal with the pressure Margarito will bring, since he last fought Margarito. I don't believe he can deal with the pressure. However, Margarito showed the same pressure Cotto faced in 08 against Pacquiao. He was relentless, never stopped coming, and was in great shape. If that Margarito shows up against Cotto then it will be a long night for Cotto.
Cotto seemed a little uncomfortable against Mayorga during Mayo's short outbursts, despite controlling the fight. Cotto will have to learn how to clinch if he wants to make it till the end. Margarito is coming to tax that ass.
Margarito has shown vulnerability towards the body, since he fought Cotto, as was evident against Mosley, and Pacquiao. Many believe Cotto should have gone to the body in the first fight, and can successfully do it in the rematch, yet it's not so easy. His stance leaves him open for uppercuts, and Margarito will be feeding them to him every time he tries to touch Marg's body; which is why I believe he didn't try to chop the body in the first fight, and relied on head hunting.
With that said I am looking forward to this fight, despite there decline since 08. I hope Cotto beats Margarito's ass in fashion, but I wouldn't favor him. Especially, with the catchweight bull****.
