Cotto and Margarito are my 2 favourite fighters but I'd favour Tony strongly. He;s a huge WW,Cotto has been hurt by smaller guys. He was wide open to Judah's uppercuts which Judah would wind up and even I could see coming. Margarito is adept at fighting on the inside and outside and has dangerous left and right uppercuts. And although he may not hit as hard to the body with one pinch as Cotto,he does possess a very good,sustained body attack.

Cotto would have a long body to aim for but he'd be taking alot back. And as good as his stamina was in the Judah fight,Margarito is a cardio machine. He just never stops,and is 1 mean badass.He would certainly have his moments because he is such a world class fighter but I don't believe he can take what would be coming back his way from the bigger,stronger man.

(we really need Tony to win this weekend,Cotto-Tony could be FOTY between the 2 best WW on the planet.Cotto-PW does not have the same ring to it.)_

It's just a tough match up to predict. It could be another grueling beatdown by Cotto if he can get inside Margo's range or a short night for Cotto if he can't.

I'll be rooting for my boy Cotto all the way but I have serious doubts that he successfully gets inside and does enough damage.

CC,good post.I like that you are more of a Miguel fan but can see the dangers. I think I'd be rooting 51-49 in favour of Tony BUT he needs to get past PW first which is no easy task.
