On the one hand I can appreciate that, "cotto can't stand and trade with MArgarito"... But come on, you think he would plan on it? If that's the best that can be said for Tony it shows just what a limited fighter he is... You shouldn't stand and trade with anyone if your a better boxer, even if you could win that way, why give the guy his only chance?? There is absolutely no reason this fight shouldn't happen, I think Cotto would own him.
Naaa,I don't see anyone owning anyone...and yeah Margarito looked bad but that was one of his worst perfomances and regardless of how,he still came out with a W. And Cotto would box well against Tony,I can't see him standing there but Tony would damage him on the ropes and Cotto does seems to have that warrior spirit if you hit me,I'll hit you back harder type and that would get him into trouble with Tony. Cotto is the overall better fighter but thten most of Tony's opponents are technically better,he just has skills in areas that are hard to match:his stmaina was astounding for a guy who only fought once all year,his heart,determination,volume of punches and when he's on song,his placement is superb too.

Listen,I'm a fan of both guys but to say Cotto would blow out Tony based on Tony's worst and 1 of Cotto's best performances,I don't buy it. I want tosee this fight ALOT though so I hope they beat their mandatories and get it on!
