Margarito vs cotto july 26,2008?

Question

i like both of these guys,but im predicting margo is going to win by knock out.i know who margarito is & his ability to throw more than average per round with power shots and margo has a cement chin.margo started boxing in the pros at the age of 15,his first two losses were on points against older experienced opponents.his other 2 losses that came after that were robberies against a dirty daniel santos that hits more with his head than his gloves & ofcourse the hometown favorite will get a gift..margos 5th loss 2 paul williams was also a robbery,yes paul threw more shots but the majority were hitting margos gloves & williams was the one that got hurt in that bout,in the 11th williams almost got koed.if it were 15 rounds williams wouldve lost.and thats the reason why margo now starts faster.the only advantage i give cotto is ther fighting in his back yard,the odds are against margo,im going to bet 5k for margo to win and the way the odds are gonna be im gona make a good chunk of change!

Answer 1

What I like about Cotto is that he don't speak negatively about anyone in boxing, but in the ring is the best. Cotto will win without doubt. However, will be a difficult fight.........Cotto win by desicion. His last 3 fights were awesome.  I think Mayweather know that Cotto is better boxer than him and is why Mayweather will never ever EVER go into the ring with Miguel Cotto. Ever. EVER.

Answer 2

Cotto has the toughness and the heart to beat Margarito. It will be a tough fight but Cotto wins in a descision.

Answer 3

Answer 4

You will loose 5k.

Answer 5

This is a good fight. Margo has no defense or answer to the jab. You have to keep in mind, Margo lost to taller guy's. Margo has a strong chin, stamina, high work rate and throws alot of punches. Margo will bring that pressure, Cotto has never had to dill with. Margo has the reach, but dont use it in fights. Cotto defense is not all that good. He has no answer for the over right hand and uppercut. Cotto has a jab, but that would put him in Margo reach. I think Cotto will win but not sure on that. Cotto would have to box like he has never boxing in his career. Cotto showed boxing skill against a pretender. Can he show it against a real fighter. To be some one like Margo, you have to have a 100% boxing skills, not a decoy. Just a jab wont do it. Cotto would need leg/ring movement, 90% defense, counter punching, pop shoting, 90% stamina  and know when to sit down on his punches. Put combos together,step out and stay off infront of Margo. I dont see Cotto boxing skills on that level. I dont think people are worry what Margo is going to bring but how Cotto is going to adjust to something he's not use to. We know what Margo is going to bring. Cotto beat Mosley with a jab. Cotto started on his bike in the 9 round but was caught a couple of times. In the 10th, they stop it for water on the mat. I still think Cotto will win. Cotto is not good with his leg/ring movement and that's something he will need. It's not running but smart boxing.

Answer 6

I would have to say that you could be right, this will definitely be Cottos toughest fight to date, Margarito has an iron chin and has enough offence to trouble Cotto i am very interested to see the outcome of this one myself. I wouldnt however be putting 5k on this fight unless i was a millionaire, Cotto is the bigger puncher and is getting better with every fight i wouldnt risk 5k however much i would win unless i was at least 99% sure i would win the bet.

Answer 7

First of all never bet on a sport that has a history of being FIXED!.....................................

Shane Mosely could have and should have beaten Cotto and I thought he would!.....................................

I was surprised to see Mosely giving away several rounds to Cotto, by simply not throwing any or very few punches............

It looked to me like Mosely was paid to help the Cotto name grow, because it looked to me like Mosely threw the fight!.....

Having said that, of course Margarito is way too tough, his chin is way to good to be beaten by Cotto..................................

But the boxing powers that be want to continue to build up Cotto, they want that big money fight with Mayweather!.......

Margarito just doesn't have a big enough boxing name for the boxing powers to allow him to win!.......................................

Margarito/Cotto will be fixed in favor of Cotto.

Answer 8

margo does have an iron chin but not abs of steel which are gonna get pounded on all day also cottos jab is getting better every fight and is gonna make the difference in this one. dont bet 5k on margo if you wanna bet on him dont bet that much because if he doesnt win by KO he definitly aint winning by decision.
