Margarito at WW is like Cotto at JW, a huge puncher shrinking himself down from the weight above where his power wouldnt be as overwhelming. (Cotto would still be powerful but the disparity wouldnt be as great when facing WW's)

The way Ricky won his fights before KT also has to come into play. Ray Olivera had never ever been stopped and hed been in many champoionship fights, Ricky stopped his ass. Vince Phillips was game, Magee was a good fighter before his accident, Ben Tackie was always known as a tough bastard above anything else. Abdullev shouldnt of been any trouble for Cotto, true he beat him in the amateurs but when I saw Abdullev fight in the pros, well he still looked like an amateur. And Paulie wasnt a boxer, he was just a speed merchant but I take the point.

One thing about if this fight came off at 147 man that Cotto would have to be careful of. Obviously its going to be less of a challenge getting under the weight, many fighters struggle in this situation as their training is therefore less intense. Cotto would have to be careful of this and should maybe take a warm up fight at WW to iron that problem out.
Diagree with Margarito,he does not struggle to make the weight at all,you'd think that but it's not the case and I think Cotto has the power to hurt anyone at 147,his beatings he hands out are just ferocious,but I do 10000000% agree with you about Margarito and FLoyd,I think my boy tony can and will hurt him,which is why Floyd does not want to fight..yet...Agreed,Cotto should take a warm up fight at 147 first,just to adapt but I have so much faith in the boy,he is a star in the making and with his MAssVE following,he ill get bigger and better. Hatton did beat those guys and they were tough but they(most) were old,Cotto's opponents were younger and hungrier and against Abdullaev,you could tell Miguel was enjoying the fight,lettin Mohaamed come in,fighting back foot,great counters and picking him off.
