    Man, it is pretty tough to rearrange a game plan against someone who basically had a plan of..."Cover my body and walk forward relentlessly into head shots and throw until I wear you down." It isn't like he knew or suspected Cotto was feather-fisted or anything either. Margos chin is amazing, and I thought Cotto did about all he could. The body wasn't there...the head was...and he hit it, again, and again, and...well, we all know how that ended up.

    I respect both fighters, and of course want to see this match up. I root for Cotto, so of course want him to win, but admit I am a lot more skeptical then I initially was. I still think Margo, fighting as he does, even though it produces results..might end up in a diaper with someone wiping the drool from his chin long before he hits old age. A brain can only take so many slams against the cranium before it begins to turn to mush.

    The only thing i would like Miguel Cotto to do is try and go to the body but saying that its hard to throw body shots on the back foot as you have to really plant your feet to make the body shots effective and i think Miguel Cotto needs to watch tapes on how Floyd Mayweather successfully stayed off the ropes against Jose Luis Castillo in there 2nd fight.

    People need to stop saying Cotto fought the perfect fight because he didn't.

    He made simple mistakes that Margarito took advantage of and it got him the win.

    Cotto throughout the fight lay on the ropes for Margarito just to throw his uppercuts.

    He NEVER clinched on the inside.

    He didn't pace himself at all.

    He abandoned his signature body work.

    If Cotto could make these sort of adjustments he could win a tough decision.
