Margarito's manager: Cotto would beat Pacquiao in a rematch

[No-mas-tias]

Marg's manager praises Cotto and his trainer

The article is in Spanish so I'll try to translate some of the stuff.

He says he rewatched Marg vs Cotto II and he thinks that if Cotto fights like he did against Margarito, with great boxing, moving in and out and throwing combinations that he'd beat Pacquiao.

He thought Pedro Luis Diaz did a great job and that they didn't expect Cotto to have such a great performance.

He has the capabilities that's for sure, it was the second knock down that really did Cotto in, he never seemed to recover from that. If he stays disciplined, follows the game plan well and brings his right hand like he did against Margarito, he has a very good chance. I wouldn't be against this fight because lets face it, May-Pac ain't happening and Arum would certainly make this.

He has no chance and will get beaten to a bloody pulp again.

Worthless fight.
