I mean if Zab got him and little Ricardo Torres got him, Margo is gonna punish him.
The jaded Cotto fans, yeah?

Im not a fan of either fighter...but Cotto seriously outskills the limited and overhyped Margarito. How many losses on the resume? And would you care to break it down? No....of course not. Cotto kicks him silly.
Obviously you didnt read my post, I never said this was a blowout for Tony, I said that the Cotto fans are making it seem like a walk away victory for Cotto, and its is not. Yes, Cotto has tighter technique, but not enough to "Kick him silly" theres no way ever, EVER!!! that COtto wins by knockout.

ok so he has losses on his record, most of those came when was a kid, he started at age 15 and i'm not using that as an excuse but you're saying loses discount his ability, will, power, all of it? So I guess our current P4P king Pacquiao should be re-evaluated I mean c'mon 3 losses and 2 draws maybe he's not all he's hyped up to be huh. Perhaps we need to discount Isreal Vasquez as well 4 losses geez what a loser. You know while we're at it lets revisit Muhammed Ali 5 f'ing losses!!!

Sounds ridiculous doesnt it, I'm not comparing Margo to these fighters in terms of ability or where he will land in history. I am saying that losses on a record should not discount anything about him.

I must say I haven't been on the board as much lately, but I don't remember one true Cotto fan on here saying this fight will be a walk in the park for him. In reality AM is probably P4P the toughest fighter in the world, and will probably be Cotto's most challenging fight to date, if not second to Mosley.

Remember, Boxing is a sport, and heart can only get you so far in the ring. I expect Cotto to win on actual tangibles like speed, power, defense, and overall, just being a more skilled fighter. I'm not saying this will be an easy fight for Cotto just saying that I expect him to win, and if he doesn't I'll be happy for Margarito because he deserves it.
