Hi Guys,

I've been away from Saddo's for a few months, but with this fight I just had to come back and see what everyone was thinking. Should be a great fight.

I must first say though. Wacko, if my memory serves correct, you promised that if Cotto proved you wrong against Mosley, you'd never doubt him again? I see a doubting prediction right at the start of this thread. How could you?

I might as well throw my thoughts in on this one. My feeling is that if Miguel chooses to engage in a war like he did against Torres and more recently againts Judah, he'll get hurt and hurt bad. If Tony can walk through Cintron's heavy handed shots and take them flush, he'll be able to do the same to Cotto. However, if Cotto chooses to use his feet and move away from Tony's shots, all the while tagging him with the jab, he could put on a masterclass performance to make Tony look silly.

I'm a massive Cotto fan, and I never feared a fight with Floyd as I felt Cotto has enough tools in his arsenal to overcome Floyd. However, like Wacko feared the Mosley fight, I have always had my reservations about this one. I don't for a second think that Margarito is a better fighter, I just feel that no matter how good you are, there is always someone who has your number. For me, this could be it. I hope to god Cotto wins, but I can't see Miguel knocking him out, and it'll be very difficult to last the full 12 if he engages in a war, which I feel his pride will lead him to do.

Tony in 10. And it kills me to say that.
