Cotto Vs Margarito Who Wins????

[Put Em' Up]

I can see I am in the minority here because I picked Margarito. I feel that he will be able to absorb the Cotto shots like no other of Cottos opponents while giving back just as hard as he receives.

This is not going to be a boxing match it is going to be a fight. Tony is not going to back peddle a single second and that is going to get Cotto mentally. Then physically.

We are not talking about Paul Malignaggi who will oblige by taking abuse all night, this is not a past his better days Shane Mosley who will be trying to use speed so he can score points while trying out boxing Cotto.

This is Antonio Margarito, a version of Margarito who is no longer content just being champion, a version that learned his lesson in the Williams fight.

I can't wait for this one.

I'm gonna have to punk out and be undecisive on this one. There are just too many questions im my book. After the first two rounds i'd be able to answer (but that wouldn't count huh) but as of now i have it a toss up. I think most will agree as long as it isn't a brawl cotto should have an easy time, but i think he will be out to impress and things could go bad if that happens.

I'm picking Cotto by split decision, coming off the canvas to win, or at least coming off being very hurt. At some point, He's going to trade with Tony and Tony is probably the biggest hitter he's been up against. Around the 4th or 5th round, Tony will catch him with perfect uppercut/hook combo and get Cotton in trouble. Cotto goes down or hangs on to get through the round. Tony wins the next two rounds while Cotto is getting himself together, then comes on strong using his superior boxing skill.

Well , is obvious , isnt it? , Cotto will comes in the first 5-6 rounds to work to the body first to wear out Margaro and then outbox for use his speed and technical boxing , Cotto know that need to do that for stop a the Margaros rythm he throw a lot shots , Cotto had improve his defense and will be more cautious of the Margaros uppercut theres no doubt on that , so everytimes when he comes to fight , comes with new skills and i know for this fight he will comes with something new for surprise....

I bet to Cotto in the 8-10 by KO , or UD , it doesnt matter how Cotto finish this fight , we know that will going to be a Great fight........

Cotto by UD. Margarito will try to turn it up in the championship rounds and find Cotto going into a defensive shell after banking up rounds. Margarito will dig himself into a hole and NEED a KO.

I picked Cotto..Too classy, too fast, too skilled for Margarito who's only obvious advantages over Cotto in this fight are his chin and his reach IMO. I may be wrong but whatever the outcome this will be a sick fight

I am in agreement with most boxing fans in that i just cannot see this being anything other than a barnstormer.

I am going with the minority and going for a Margarito win in about 9-10 rounds. While i agree that Cotto will win if he becomes the boxer, but i think his macho pride will drag him into a war. Margarito has a great chin, Cottos gone over or been wobbled a few times and although he has always recovered quickly i think Margarito will finish him.

Styles make fights.

Have to agree i love both fighters but Tony just has the edgefor me Cotto has fought no one as tough as Tony but it could still go either way if Cotto fights not boxes i see Tony winning.
