Antonio Margarito is the real deal and I'm just a hatin fool for not recognizing.

I actually did notice the head movement, he did a bit of bobbing and weaving and thought he intergrated that pretty well on the inside. And I was wrong, he can punch short on the inside but I think the smaller Cotto will still be able to slip and block most everything and punch in between Margarito's long punches.

Cotto's defence is good but he's no Pernell. He eats shots and he'll be eating Tony's shots too. Listen,he'll try to box but when you have a freocious Mexican chasing after you,in a Mexico v PR title fight,and you're getting tagged time and time again,defence will go out of the window. I hope Marg jumps on him from the opening round,makes him fight a war. Remember,even if Cotto does box,Tony is so much bigger and longer,Cotto will still be blocking long and looping right hands!

Number 1 weapon for Tony=UPPERCUT!! Cotto is open to it,the way he places his hands. Judah has shown it too.

Tony Margarito is a bonafide bada$$. There are boxers and then there are FIGHTERS. Tony is the latter. Watching Tony fight, it's somewhat mystifying how good he is. Here's a guy who's slow, awkward, unathletic, throws wide punches but somehow he gets the job done.

From a purely logical standpoint, Cotto should win a hard fought UD. He is quicker, more athletic, and more naturally talented than Tony. Yet many of the fighters that Tony has defeated have had these advantages and still been vanquished. I just watched the second Santos fight and frankly I thought Santos got a hometown decison. Santos was much quicker, bigger and more naturally gifted yet Tony was ripping him something awful. I'm not sure how he does it, but he always manages to land his shots, even against slick guys. He's just got that intangible that makes him so dangerous. I think Cotto could win if he plays it safe and outboxes Tony, but I don't think he could win a war. Tony doesn't get broken down, and when it comes down to it, I think Cotto is more vulnerable to being KO'd. I'll be rooting for Tony, but either way, I just can't wait to see this one!
