I can't help it but notice how heavy Margarito looks.

[CutMeMick]

Been looking at pictures from the promotional tour....
Since I saw last weeks pics. from Mexico I couldn't help it but notice how heavy he looked. He must be somewhere around 165-170 at least.

Anyone else see this or is it just me?

It might be that Cotto looks small next to him.

No matter how small Cotto is he can't make Margaritos cheeks look fat.

Any pics? I thought Tony looked his lean self-160-165. Not really seen fat cheeks!

I just realized I meant to put 170-175... Not 165-170.

NO WAY dude¬!!!! Pics/? Remember, he did have a birthday bash a few weeks ago so itf it's a pic around that time,then that's possible. He better not be too big though!

He just looks a bit heavier then usual, I've seen him in between fights and he doesn't look this big. Could it be that the plan for July is to try and out-muscle/bully Cotto?

[El Gamo]

I think it's just the pics because he looked chubby in the MAY 22 one(the suits) but not so much in the May 19 pic(the other one).

I don't think that's the plan. Tony has said he expects Cotto to box and he will cut the ring,pressure him and beat his own record for most punches thrown.

"I don't really expect Cotto to come forward in this fight. He's going to box. He's going to run. But, if he decided to stand up and fight against me, it's going to be a long night for him. The plan is always to pressure, that's my style of fight. The plan is to fight an intelligent fight. My plan is to break my record and to throw the most punches I have every thrown in a fight. Expect a war. Expect a war and expect me to come down with that title, Margarito said.

Umm not sure could be just the picture but compare it to this picture when Margarito is in perfect fighting shape.

Trust me it's not just the pictures.
I've seen him as I'm sure so have you guys in between fights. I've also seen him in person. He is a little heavy, how heavy he is my guess is 170-175 lbs. somewhere around there. I know the fights until July but I guess it's just that I haven't seen Margarito like this in between fights before.

Could be a lot of things like you said it could be a plan to out hustle and bully Cotto, but i personally don't think he needs to do that, because he is already physically stronger than Cotto IMO. If he is doing that then he has to be careful because that will lead him to being slower all over. And he already has slow feet and mediocre hand speed, and he is putting himself a risk to Cotto's superior boxing skills.

I was thinking that as well seeing the pic's on fightnews.His Just looked Beefy.He'll shed excess and be primed for the opening bell .Cotto needs to be refitted for his Jackets/Suits,Sleeves just hanging there over his hand almost.

Everyone is giving Margarito too much of a shot in this fight, imo. Cotto will outbox him handily.

I think Margarito's size and style, combined with the fact that Cotto has been hurt by lesser fighters (weight-drained, I know...) are leading people to think that way, myself included.

I just think personally that Margarito is the most dangerous opponent Cotto has ever fought IMO. Margarito is very big physically for Welterweight as well so it will be interesting. Boxing skills wise theres no contest Cotto is by far the superior boxer but i feel Margarito will have his moments when Cotto is against the ropes, where Margarito does some of his best work. Plus Margarito has good uppercut which is Cotto's biggest weakness. I think Cotto wins a tough UD Cotto's hooks are much shorter than Margarito's so he will be able to win exchanges then get back out of there and stick to his boxing.
