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!
