Basically IMO Vernon Forrest destroyed the invicibility of Mosley, and I am suspecting Margarito might do the same to Cotto.

I definitely think Cotto could win if things get changed, but it might be expecting too much from him. I think Cotto really needs to work on his movement, he needs to get elite sparring partners who will push him to the limit.

Hatton puts all kinds of pressure on his opponents so Floyd got both Baldomir and Ndou who would switch off, with Baldomir and Ndou only going 5 rounds at a time for a total of 20 rounds Mayweather was basically fighting a fresh world class opponent for 20 rounds. Cotto needs to do this.
Gotta tell ya,I think Cotto can do very well in future.Margarito is indeed no ATG,he never pretended to be but stylistically and more so physically....he is too much for Cotto.I just don't see all the top sparring in the world translating to victory in rematch.One thing that stands out more and more to me is not the styles,the punch selections,the footwork......but the sheer Physicality of they're first fight.Cotto was effected in so many subtle and equally obvious ways where as Cotto.....try as he might with great pin point boxing could not stand his ground and/or have a noticeable effect on Tony in the least.The disparity in terms of physical taxing toll was huge. I think the 1st result will be duplicated.
