Cotto V Margarito Who Will Win And How?

[Spicoli]

It's got to be Cotto by UD because Toni can't box and he has never had to deal with that amount of pressure, power, or body attack!


Cotto has dealt with power and he has boxed his way out of danger.....Toni will get knocked down and then lose on points!

I honestly do not think either one has faced as complete a package as they are about to....In combined Pressure,power,body attack brought buy One fighter....

Cotto UD. Most people don't realize that all of the opponents that Tony has TKO'ed stood in front of him with no head movement or footwork.

Cotto will give him lots of movements and he will be snapping that jab at his face and then using his perfect timing to counter with bombs to the body. Tony will get frustrated on this one ala Tito.

[rjj tszyu]

Wow Cotto has suddenly taken a HUGE lead since last time I viewed. I must admit I was shocked when Toni was leading though.

[HattonTheHammer]

cotto by late stoppage

Toni wont die wondering and take a points loss, ref will eventually step in and call it a day!!

[donnydarkoIRL]

I'm thinking Cotto will win....I want Cotto to win....

But I'm still hesitant.


I'll say Cotto points, I'd be impressed if he could stop Margorito.

This is a huge fight for Cotto. Very risky.

I cant think that this fight will end just by UD , they both are gladiators , hit hard , one of them will put first the respect and who make the first mistake , is who will have more problem...............
To me this fight will end by KO or UD , i know Margaro is strong , have good uppercut , good resistance in making pressure , but Cotto will comes in tremendous physical shape for give a great fight , everybody has been commenting that Cotto will outbox Margaro and he will win by UD , we have to understand that Cotto is smaller than Margaro , so obviously he in the first 5-6 rounds will have to fight most of time inside , working to the body and counter punching to wear out Margaro a bit for then outbox Margaro and dominate all others round by stoppage or UD , we have to have in our mind that probably Margaro could take use his reach and outbox Cotto in this fight , something odds in him , but Margaro Team know that they cant risk completely in making a brawl with Cotto , Cotto has the advantage , if Margaro try in give everything very fast , Cotto by KO........................

This fight could looks like :
Cotto vs Kelson Pinto
Cotto vs Victoriano Sosa
Cotto vs N`Dou
Boxers more taller than Cotto and some similar Margaro Styles...........

I've seen Pinto, Sosa, and N'Dou, and they are no Antonio Margarito. The first two were physically inferior to Cotto. N'dou was rugged and able to take Cotto's power. And look what happened in that fight. N'dou made Cotto resort to plan "b," which is box and get out of there with a win. The N'Dou fight was Miguel's first real lesson in boxing of what to do when your usual plan does not work. So if anything, his fight with N'Dou, in my opinion, resembles most what I perceive to be the manner in which Cotto's fight with Margarito will play out.

You are right Rican , about N`Duo , but about Sosa and Pinto , i know that they were physically inferior to Cotto , but they were a dangerous opponent too , i just wanted mention that their Style , height , and power have some similarity and how this fight could comes comparative with Margaro , i know that he is more stronger than them with his great uppercut , hard punch and like to put pressure , but with the great improvement that Cotto had get in the last 3-4 fights and now with the great physical training , could be a similar fight with N`Duo , but more exciting , to me Cotto by KO................

Yes they did have similar styles to Margarito.
Since then Cotto has adapted physically into a welterweight fighter.
He has become stronger and more physically durable so perhaps he will be able to handle Margarito as he did N'Dou who was quite a physically forboding fighter at 140.

I say Rick Flair wins!

I say Rick Flair wins!

Rick Flair? I don't get it!

[TitoFan]

Cotto has the edge in speed and boxing skills. Margarito has the better chin (few have Tony's chin). Both are hard punchers, although Cotto is the more devastating body puncher. They both have the warrior's heart.

Though I admit my vote is 90% biased and only 10% objective, I say Cotto by late TKO.

[El Kabong]

The way Tony cuts he may be in trouble from the get go...Cotto cuts but not as bad as Tony......I wonder if Miguel will break Tony's jaw because he is prone to breaking people's jaws, it would have a dramatic effect on the fight

[GAME]

I dont think this is a tough fight to call at all.

Infact I think it would be quite predictable how it unfolds. Tony will plod forward trying to engage in a brawl . Cotto will use superior skills and the difference in class will be very apparent from the start . As the rounds go on Cottos lead will get bigger and he may choose to take his foot off the gas pedal in the later rounds when he knows he has it in the bank . Either way Cotto wins this hands down .

[chip]

I love both fighters but cotto has met no one near Tony and those relentless punches, maybe a couple of knock downs but my man Tony will still be there at the end points win for Tony.

[yenks]

Cotto wins this one with relative ease. It's a matter of level and Margarito is not on the level of Cotto.
