Some very good posting in this thread.

I don't think Margarito's win has any bearing on how I look at his loss to Williams. He beat Cintron before he fought Williams and Williams beat Cintron with movement, the same way Floyd would beat Margarito imo. When Margarito had his high spots in the Williams fight, it wasn't because Margarito all the sudden tried to fight, it was because Williams was getting flatfooted and wasn't able to provide the same movement. I think a rematch goes pretty much the same way.

That's not to discredit Margarito though, really, who didn't expect this? We all knew Tony hit hard, Cintron was more game and was able to land more punches but this didn't look all to different from the first fight. Tony was better technically but like p4pking said earlier, everything this night went completely as expected. Don't know why people would think otherwise.

I agree with Lyle in that Cotto is going to pick Margarito apart. I think Margarito is going to be able to scare him a few times throughout the fight but Margarito isn't exactly a short puncher and Cotto blocks punches very well from the outside, it's the inside and while setting up that he gets tagged the most. I think Cotto will get inside the long punches of Margarito and cash his check to the body. Don't think anybody is ever going to stop Margarito, but Cotto has a better chance then anyone because he goes to the body.

This is going to be a great fight though. Tony did look good but don't think he beats Cotto.
