None of those guys put the pressure on him like Margarito. Not only that it was obvious they couldn't hurt him. It was obvious Margarito could hurt him in the 2nd round.

Watch those fights again, They were right there all the time,
and Abdullaev could have hurt Cotto, but he used better defense then he did against Margarito. He was countering against Abduallaev and Ndou like he did early on against Tony, with combinations, and the led to him being able to go to the body, it led to him fighitng the way he wanted to.
It's different when you have an elite fighter (Margarito) pressuring you instead of two B level fighters. Not mention the fact that Margarito was bigger and stronger. His pressure and punches take more out of you than Abduallaev and Ndou.
