I agree with you, and i have been watching boxing probably longer than some of the youngsters on here have been breathing. But i will say this...Cotto has improved quite a bit in the last few yrs and is in his prime. Margarito on the other hand...has slipped a notch to even to the playing field, but i still think he has enough to pull out the victory. Cotto will have to pitty pat and move like P.Williams did when he beat Margarito, but i don't see it happening. Cotto will use the ring and throw his quick combos but unlike Williams...he will always be in Margarito's range to get hit. Williams big advantage was his height, legs and tenticals he has for arms. Cotto has none of those attributes. Cotto has never fought anyone as big as Toney, and who puts on pressure like Tony does, and it will force Cotto to fight at a faster pace than he's used to...and wear him out . I see a late stoppage in favor of Margarito

Cotto doens't have to be outside of Margarito's range, Margarito loses so much steam by the time his punches hit the target that he doesn't get even close to as much power as some people seem to be thinking. He isn't a devastating hitter. Cotto will probably be fine under Margarito's arsenal I mean Zab has a lot of snap on his punches, and he didn't hurt Cotto really badly, and Mosley hits decently hard(see him destroy Vargas with that left hook? shot or not Vargas was it by a heavy punch, and Mosley landed heavy rights on Cotto). As for size besides height and reach I see Cotto as the bigger man, he was barely making 140, but he was weighing 160 on fight night, I can only imagine how much more he weighs now considering how much bigger he looks. Cotto is a very big WW just not in height. He is built like a Mike Tyson or TUa, and he is stocky and very powerful while guys like Margarito are tall in thin, sure he is strong, but he doens't have those stocky legs or thick core body.
