    I'm not so sure about that, Margo is still dangerous, you're underestimating him if you believe he has no chance.

    I hope you are right.

    Margarito has a heart and an ego for fighting he will have to be stopped by someone else he wont quit.

    Cotto has better skills but he has a limit he will go to before he says in his own words he will quit and go home to his family.

    Thats my only worry.

    But I cant understand it for you.

    Ask Manny Pacquiao that. Pacquiao was holed up in a hospital for days after the Margarito fight and he said that a body shot by Margarito in that fight really hurt him. He's just too much of a champion to show it. I stand by the fact that even in utter defeat, Margarito came into that fight looking good. He's just tailor-made for Manny.

    Margarito stops him around the 8th.

    Their motives are totally different. Cotto never wanted this fight until Bob convinced and convinced him with more money. He used to be a fighter but today he's more of business minded. He's more civilized .. The revenge angle was more thrown in there for publicity cuz revenge wasn't on Cotto's mind until that purse got bigger.. Cotto is fighting for $ + HOPE of gettin some payback while Margarito is coming for blood and is willing to win under any condition. Margo is fighting for redemption and I believe he's hungrier as well.

    I watched the Mayorga fight again and Cotto at 154 was noticeably slower and his punches didnt have as much affect. He doesn't even move that well anymore and dude just not react too well from clean punches..

    153 favors Margarito cuz he's no longer starving himself. Cotto is at a disadvantage and dude had hit his ceiling.

    Margarito TKO9

    I don't buy the "Margarito is hungrier" reasoning, but I agree on the weight being to Margarito's advantage. Cotto is genuinely angry at someone he feels played around with his health and could've potentially done him irreparable harm. Which is why he's been acting out of character by engaging in trash-talking with Margarito.

    It could go either way, but I'm sticking with Cotto by 7-8 round TKO.

    Margarito TKO.

    He's simply a bad matchup for Cotto.

    In their recent fights , Margarita looked much tougher so unless he's bothered by his eye injury, I see the result pretty much the same as their first fight. Only chance for Cotto is to use hit-n-run tactic, while at the same time, targetting Marg's eye all the way.
    Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.
