cotto fought "brilliantly defensive" against a sloppy boxer.. big deal..

have you seen mayweather fight? he's the slickest of slick and can dodge bullets.. if Margarito lands 1/8th of the punches on mayweather that he landed on Cotto tonight then he would be lucky..

Mayweather holds alot. That's what the difference would be. Cotto was outboxing him and almost no clinching. Mayweather could win a hug and run fest, but you can't slip 120 punches a round. Margarito is too big for Cotto, and way to big for PBF. Cotto layed on the ropes WAY too much. He was expecting to counter and get the ko, but he couldn't hurt Margarito. Margarito was possessed. Insane conditioning, chin, determination. Reminded me of Vasquez in the last Marquez fight. He just kept coming harder and faster. If Cotto wasn't a fighter, he would have won a decision, but he wanted the ko so he fought inside way too much.... Great fight.
