How Did Miguel Cotto vs Antonio Margarito Win FOTY ?

[Taeth]

Another factor of the Pacquiao vs Marquez fight was that they are both so explosive. Margarito does the same thing over and over again at a slow pace, it is effective, but it doesn't look good. Cotto looks good, but he still doesn't have that exciting explosion when he moves in.

Both Pacquiao and Marquez are explosive and exciting, they didn't bow down to eachother's arsenals. They are both better than either Margarito and Cotto, IMO they both fought as hard as Margarito, and not like Cotto who gave up. Both of them put it all on the line.

Its like watching Gatti-Ward or Barrera-Morales. I would pick the second one every time. More skill, same drive and determination.
