Cotto Vs Margarito Who Wins????

[JT Rock]

Difficult to say... People keep saying Cotto by stoppage, even though Margarito has never been stopped and the last time he was on his ass was when he was a teenager fighting grown men.

I know Cotto is the goods, but I think its funny that people discount Margarito's durability and body of work at Welterweight.

To me Cotto has never been pressured, the way Tony brings it and I think we know about Tony's will and mental makeup, to me the jury is still out on Cotto. Miguel threw it in reverse when he couldnt break Shane down and boxed off the backfoot well, but Margarito comes at you with a differnt kind of pressure, he has excellent punch selection and everyone is nasty. Cotto needs to stay away from the ropes

Margarito was knocked down by Danny Perez in 1999 but i see your point, Cotto was surperior boxing skills plus he can box on the back foot very well, plus because his hooks are much shorter he can win exchanges just some the ponder about.

Margarito was badly hurt by a body shot by Juan Soberanes now Margarito was a teenager at the time but has anyone really tested Margarito to the body since ?? i think it will be interesting to see how Margarito copes with Cotto's body attack.

Cotto looks in shape and still he has till July 26. good job so far

[No Contest]

Can't make a pick yet heart say Tony, head say Cotto....Tony is a hot or cold type of fighter, so you never know what kind of performance your gonna get. This is very close IMO the one thing that sticks out is Tony's huge midsection and not so great defense. Then again he has never been stopped on a body shot or stopped at all. Cotto has a good chin but it isn't his strong point, this is one of those fights where anything could happen. If Tony can take Cotto's shots its gonna be a barnburner.

Is a curiosity to see how Margaro could assimilate Cottos power , i really want to see that , we all know how Cotto assimilate , but i dont think that Margaro can take Cottos shots.................

Tony will surely could take Cotto's shots but how many can he handle?

I like how you see this going on

[HattonTheHammer]

jeez you puerto ricans really are an impatient lot arent you.

For what its worth it`ll more than likely be the fight of the summer and one that the entire world will remember for a long time to come.

But its still a good few weeks away and we have 3 world championship fights coming up this weekend.......maybe we could perhaps worry about this a bit closer to the fight

I agree. If the Tony that fought Clottey and Williams shows up, I think Cotto will have a field day, but if the Tony that fought Cintron and Johnson shows up, I think he has an excellent chance. He just seems much more energized and determined since the Williams loss. In his defense though, against Clottey he was coming off of only one round in the ring in the previous 20 months, and I would also argue that Clottey is quicker than Cotto, with better defense as well. Williams overwhelmed him with volume of punches which we know Cotto isn't going to do. Anyways, I'll be rooting for Tony all the way, but he definitely has an upward hill to climb here.
