I definitely understand this. But the point is that there is a big enough gap in talent between Margarito and Floyd, that if Cotto can't beat Margarito, it's reasonable to assume he can't beat Floyd.
It's not like Margarito presents some awkward style that could give Cotto fits. Cotto is superior in every aspect to Margarito. More power, faster hands, better jab, more offensive variety, better defense, etc. Margarito has the type of style that should allow Cotto to show off all his skills. If Cotto can't do that against Margarito, then he's not as good as we thought.
