also if margarito doesnt get a shot at delahoya he should definitely go for a rematch with either paul williams or clottey. clottey looked real good early in their fight before breaking his hand.
Mayweather would get hit less in those first six rounds against Margarito, and he trains as hard if not harder than anyone in the sport. He moves around a lot more naturally than Cotto does, and he like Margarito gets stronger as the fight goes on. Cotto did well against Mosley, did well against Ndou, but you see how he was progressively being bullied more and more against both of them as they kept on walking through his bombs. However, like I've said a million times already that nose was a factor, and maybe Margarito would break it again, but without that stamina problem(nose induced or not) Cotto would have won thefight because he wasn't being hurt either by Marg's punches.
