My honest opinion on Tony

[p4pking]

Yes of course, Margarito is a good fighter. And I think it's a very good point about the fact that he is able to land power punches from the outsife, without actually being fast, showing good timing. I think the trouble for him comes when a guy is clearly faster, and also has good timing. I think Cotto easily fits this bill and will put a hurting on Margo.

[gally]

Cotto in 8 in a fight of the year that i cant wait for, im not dissing tony I think hes the secong best welter out there, but i believe its Cotto's time for superstardom now, i just think Cotto will land the larger volume of punches and the bodyshots will take there toll on tony in rnd 7 or 8, but up until then itll be all out war/

[Markusdarkus]

Marg is under-rated but Cotto is one of the best fighters in the world and i think will win a UD by boxing and engaging speradically. If Cotto fights the way i think he will the fight will not be the barn burner we all assume it will be.

If he does get drawn in i think Marg might stop him.

[Macho]

Cotto will KO Margaro in round 5 or 6 , he will not going outbox Margaro , could counter punches , but he cant outbox by his short reach , he need to impose the fight in certain way aggressive since the beginning , he has to stop Margaro and avoid get pressure by Margaro .................
Cotto trained for a real brawl , he knows that Margaro like that and Cotto will show him what he likes...................

Cotto will KO Margaro in round 5 or 6

I really have to question how you come to this conclusion. Cotto took 11 rounds to KO weak-willed Judah, it took him 6 rounds to TKO C-level Gomez, he couldn't hurt Mosley, but you think he will KO Tony in 5 rounds? Come on dude, I'm not trying to rip you, but let's be realistic.....

I know tony is a better fighter then his record says but imo his one of those guys that goes from elite to decent- decent to elite. He did lose to paul williams and imo that was his fault. he let some early rounds go to paul. As for cotto i think cotto always stays at his best and does not lay low. I do not get why people are saying cottos chin will be check but tony is not a one punch ko artist. just because he made kermit cry twice does not mean he can ko cotto. judah, mosley and other more faster harder hitter fighters couldn't how could tony just do it? if tony is going to win its going to be by decision. no way he ko's cotto.

more likely to happen is cotto k.o'ing tony. i think cotto wins in the mid round. his going to stop tony.

p.s. to macho and other cotto fan- for man law sake tell cotto to pull his pants up his damn pubes are starting to show

Judah was anything BUT weak-willed in that fight.
Gomez may have looked C-level against Cotto, but I think that's more a testament to Cotto's greatness than Gomez's mediocrity.
Mosley's not that easy to hurt (unless you're the tall and rangy Vernon Forrest). ODLH couldn't do it, and he's a bit bigger than Cotto.

All that being said, I don't see an early KO by Cotto. It'll be a give-and-take, grinding battle, with Cotto wearing Tony out to the body and stopping him in the late rounds.

Judah showed HEART in that fight, but not too much will if you ask me. That's two different things. I just watched the replay and imo Judah could have won if he had more determination. He rocked Cotto a couple of times but never followed up. He played defense all night and didn't throw nearly enough punches. As for Gomez, I have to disagree as well. Gomez is a c-level fighter. His biggest accomplishments were what? A win over an old Ben Tackie and an ancient, battle worn Gatti? Tony is just as hard to hurt, if not harder, as Mosley. The way I see it, Cotto is a bully. He pressures you and batters you unless you get his respect. But once he gets hit, he doesn't like it, and he is just as vulnerable as anyone else. He won't be able to push Tony around like he did to Judah or Gomez.

tony has done ok at welterweight but i still feel he is very limited his punches are wide his defense is sloppy his handspeed is mediocre and his footspeed is slow cotto should handle margarito quite easy if he boxes

Sorry to nit-pick but Mosley wasn't hurt in that fight.
Mosley even noted after the fight that Cotto had a suprising lack of 'pop' in his punches.

Sorry

Gotta agree with Jesse James here! Margarito "walked" through the punches of the hardest puncher IMO in the welterweight division in Cintron, and although Cotto has got good power I just don't see him getting the job done early as Margos punch resistance is freakish.

My opinion of how this fight will pan out is that the first few rounds will probably be taken by Cotto outboxing Tony. Then I think that as Cottos confidence grows he will start to take a few more chances and go for the knockout around the middle rounds where I think that Tony will start to come into the fight with his great stamina and heart. But I don't see either man knocking the other out and after about round 9 I think that Cotto will realise this and revert to boxing Tony and take a UD.

Cotto will KO Margaro in round 5 or 6 , he will not going outbox Margaro , could counter punches , but he cant outbox by his short reach , he need to impose the fight in certain way aggressive since the beginning , he has to stop Margaro and avoid get pressure by Margaro .................
Cotto trained for a real brawl , he knows that Margaro like that and Cotto will show him what he likes...................

You can bet your life Cotto will box Marg he has the boxing skill and speed to box him.

Cotto is not silly enough to get drawn in, if he is there is only one winner imo.

Agree here.Cotto must temper & pick his spots combined with boxing.He will have to sit down and get Margaritos attention/respect but his backfoot mobility will be a great necessity.If he stands in and looks to swap throughout,I think Tony can vary that range and catch him underneath repeatedly.He must fight smart & I have no doubt that he will.Viva Margarito

I thought that was the case when he fought Torres aswell.

Luckily the ref let him low blow his way out of trouble that night.
