Re: It's Official!! Cotto finally signs the contract! "The Battle" is on!
Good news for fans on both sides......i actually wish both camps and fans luck. I gotta roll with diane on this one, i could see this turning out to be fight of the year. This will be an event (not just fight) that i will happily skip buying diapers to pay for. In case my wife reads this...i was just kidding honey, sorta.
Re: It's Official!! Cotto finally signs the contract! "The Battle" is on!
I think Cotto is in a class above Margarito at this point. I would be surprised if Margarito were able to make it competitive enough to be considered a great fight at all. I expect a very entertaining one sided beatdown personally, though it isn't out of the question Tony could hurt Cotto.
Re: It's Official!! Cotto finally signs the contract! "The Battle" is on!
Oh man,I am Stoked and borderline drooling.This will be a fighters fight.Cotto better technique and has made some nice Improvments...Margarito finally getting some over due respect.Far more than a one deminsional brawler.I love this fight.........And Im Picking Margarito via late rounds TKO.Both will take damage to the body....:shotgun5lu8:Let the Fighters fight.... and the Diva's Rematch ;D
Re: It's Official!! Cotto finally signs the contract! "The Battle" is on!
I am going with Margarito... Tony is bigger, stronger, has a cast iron chin and has an erotic fetish with dishing and recieving pain... Tony's gonna be on his ass like a buzz saw from the 1st bell and wont stop

Back to ya JT...;D...I have boo-koo respect for Cotto but Margarito gets nothing but stronger down the stretch.I can envision Cotto targeting that body big time and giving Tony some problems with that jab.Ultimately I feel Margarito can come 'under' Cotto with mass rangy angels ,get him on his heels and produce some lumps/cuts and mutual hurt to the body.Improved body puncher himself.Great match up...can not wait.

Again I still point to Cotto backing up when he couldnt assurt himself over Mosely and break his will.. If Cotto goes backwards against Margarito he'll get slaughtered cause there is no way in hell he breaks that tough bastard Margarito down

I don't think Cotto is going to come in with a game plan that is in any way similar to the one he initially implemented against Mosley. I think Cotto will box and move from the opening bell, much like he did in the latter rounds against Mosley. Whether Margarito is going to allow him to do that remains to be seen.
I'm leaning ever so slightly towards Margarito taking this, especially if he can drag Cotto into a war.
Re: It's Official!! Cotto finally signs the contract! "The Battle" is on!
Cotto is going to outbox Tony from the start. I think some people still way overrate Margarito...
Re: It's Official!! Cotto finally signs the contract! "The Battle" is on!
The best fight news all year. :)
Since when did ESPN have great writers, that was a complete article in every way that went straight to the point. :)
Re: It's Official!! Cotto finally signs the contract! "The Battle" is on!
This is good news, but i still think Cotto is a class above Margarito and will win a UD here in what i hope is a good fight.

I have to agree. His uppercut will be launching all night. I can see Cotto having great success early with his speed advantage, but Margarito will catch up to him and will start landing. What will happen then? I have no idea, but it will be exciting!hehe
It is not always a battle of skills, but a battle of wills. I cannot predict this one or will even attempt to. Cotto is far more talented, but Margarito is a monster in there and has underrated skills.
Re: It's Official!! Cotto finally signs the contract! "The Battle" is on!
I think we will see a Cotto Counterpunching extravaganza. Margarito will come forward thinking that Cotto will just cover up. He (Cotto) will stick and move and make MArgo pay for that. In the Middle rounds the fight will be more relax(Boxing) because Margarito learned his lesson that you just don't do that with Cotto.;D
