I think this go round, if Cotto starts feeling too much pressure he'll tag Margarito to the sack like he did Judah...who would blame him?

I appreciate everyones comment here, but I don't understand why people would even think margarito has a chance. I mean have you seen his last three fights? Seriously his punches have no power whatsoever.
Well of course there's a chance and honestly if Cotto loses this fight I would be pissed because I believe in the fact that he only lost cuz of the loaded gloves so bad. But I still don't see margarito with that good of a chance based on his last 3 fights after being "caught cheating" lol it could just be my faith in Cotto, but I just don't see margarito winning this fight. Cotto KO/TKO between 8-10th round. Cotto 70% chance of winning and margarito 30%. If Cotto losses I will be scarred though haha.
My prediction is that regardless of who wins, Cotto will be a lot classier and more gracious in the post-fight interviews.
I hope you are right.
Margarito has a heart and an ego for fighting he will have to be stopped by someone else he wont quit.
Cotto has better skills but he has a limit he will go to before he says in his own words he will quit and go home to his family.
Thats my only worry.
I take all that Macho bullshit Margarito spews about not quitting with a grain of salt, it's idiotic not to "quit" when you're taking a serious beating and your health is in danger.
I've never blamed Cotto for quitting in the 1st fight, the plaster Margarito was using in his wraps must have felt like a baseball bat.
P.S. Margarito didn't seem to mind at all when the ref stopped the ass-whippin' he was getting from Mosley.

Cotto wins a decisive decision against Margarito, using his boxing skills, and throwing brutal body shots to keep Antonio at bay.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Ask Manny Pacquiao that. Pacquiao was holed up in a hospital for days after the Margarito fight and he said that a body shot by Margarito in that fight really hurt him. He's just too much of a champion to show it. I stand by the fact that even in utter defeat, Margarito came into that fight looking good. He's just tailor-made for Manny.
I fully expect Margarito to be dangerous, but I also expect Cotto to stick and move. Outclass the man, don't make the mistake of thinking that the plaster was 100% the reason why Margarito won. I hate Margarito but he's a tough s.o.b. look at how he fought vs Mosley and Pacquiao....it took a while for Shane to stop him and Shane rocked the hell out of the guy, Pacquiao eased off the gas, but still Tony took a whuppin.
What it comes down to for me is confidence and determination. Cotto has to have the determination to stick to the fight plan and not engage Tony on his terms...DON'T BRAWL! Margarito has to have confidence that he can fight the very same way he did the first time without plaster wraps. I think when it gets down to the nitty gritty, Cotto is going to want to win more than Margarito and Tony is going to feel like half a fighter without the added advantage of the plaster wraps.
In the end, I think the left hooks to the eye will swell up Margarito and the ref or his corner (more likely the ref) will stop the fight
