Margarito can't a straight punch to save his life, as you will see on July 26, Cotto throws much tighter, sharper punches, and IMO hits harder. Cotto is a much better boxer, and he is a much better body puncher. I think Cotto poses a way bigger problem for Oscar than Margarito would.
The thing I think that makes OScar not want to fight MArgarito, and I am not sure if everyone knows this is that Margarito used to be Oscar's sparring partner, and so what is the point in fighting a guy who you didn't really have that much of a problem with. Oscar is always searching for the most difficult fight, most interesting fight he can, and thats why he wants Cotto.
