Does Anyone Else Think That Cotto vs Margarito....

[ICB]

Won't be one of the FOTY's ?? im not saying it won't be a good fight but i don't think the action will be as good some people think, Cotto will be the counter puncher in this fight and he is the surperior boxer and i think he will only engage when he wants to or has to, obviously Margarito will have his moments when he gets Cotto on the ropes and then we will see some furious exchanges, but i think that will be few and far between does anyone else agree ??

IMO, it will be a great fight for the first 6 or 7 rounds, but after that, Cotto will take it over.

But the first 6-7 rounds will make it a FOTY canidate.

I'm thinking maybe the other way around, as far as which rounds are the "good" ones. I don't think Tony will try to get off as fast as his last few fights and will try to feel Cotto out the 1st few rounds, seeing how Cotto willl play it; trying to box with him.

Then after about the 4th or 5th round it will pick up, though like some have mentioned Cotto will try to keep it a boxing match, whereas Tony will try to pull it into an inside war. I'm picking Tony to win, just cause' I'm sticking with my boy; though if Cotto can keep it outside it will be somewhat one sided. If however Tony can get him to fight his fight, Cotto goes down late rounds. Even though Cotto has good body shots, he leaves himself open{or has in the past} for some brutal uppercuts, and Tony will deliver. The later rounds will be the most exciting; at least in my silly opinion.

Yea you could be right there Legion and remember both men in the past have got stronger as the fight goes on, the question is who will be the stronger man in the championship rounds ??

That's the question. Who will be cleaner and fresher in the later rounds. I can't see Cotto stopping Tony; we all saw what bombs Cintron laid on him and he was smiling. Though if Cotto can get in and out on that body, who knows? But I know one thing, Tony is known for bringing heat as the fight progresses, so if anyone goes down late it will IMO be Cotto. Can't wait.

It depends on two things 1 how effect Margarito is at pressuring Cotto and forcing him to work, and 2 how effective Cotto is to the body. But because Margarito is a tall Welterweight i think Cotto will get many chances to go to the body. And remember Legion Margarito has been decked by body shots before, i know Margarito was young at the time but i haven't seen Margarito really tested to the midsection since that so i would like to see how Margarito copes with Cotto's body punches.

Little Man is going to get beat to a Pulp. What is little man about 3 feet tall. Crushing all midgets. Margo for EL PRESIDENTE. We may give little man a job cleaning up the gym after Margo is training. The little cleaning boy

It'll be a cracker if Tony gets a good start. IMO if Cotto gets a few rounds in the bank he'll play it safe and rest on his laurels to the home straight, it's what he did against Mosely who I thought was there for the taking after about 8 rounds as he was tiring badly, but Cotto let him off the hook.

I'm sure you'll get some interesting replies to that post.

The fight will go one of two ways, firstly Cotto boxes his way to a comforatble UD or Cotto tries to mix it up with Margarito and gets knocked out.

I`ll take Cotto UD has potential for FOTY but Cotto has matured and knows Tony cant out box him.

I just go back to Cotto slamming it into reverse when he couldnt break Shane down... I see him not being able to break Tony down and paying the price, then when he slams on the breaks and put it in reverse that when Tony will take over this fight, the pressure will be tremendous and I'm not sure Cotto can handle it.. Not to mention Cotto cuts easily in the mouth and I see Tony's uppercuts through Cotto's earmuff defense.. Gonna be a train wreck thats for sure

[CFH]

I'm not sure how the fight will play out in terms of action, I do agree that Cotto will try and play the role of a counter-puncher. If it does end up as a FOTY type match, it'll definitely be to the benefit of Margo.

Hey JT , moving backwards doesn't mean that he was tire or something like that , to me he made that in other fights and looked good , probably made more often to demonstrate that brought new skills , obviously Shame wasnt easy , he is a great Champion , you seems that wanted that Cotto KO Shane for prove more than you were expect.............Dont you ?
IMO Cotto always liked to impose his Style to the opponent , not viceversa ...............other thing i don't know how some guys can compare the Cottos power with Cintron ................

Cintron has more power than Cotto

I would tend to agree with you, but if you watch the fight he didnt come out to start a round that way, he went backwards abruptly and stayed back the rest of the fight, which tells me Shane was actually getting to Cotto physically and Miguel wanted no more of the close exchanges
