How Exactly Can Cotto Win?

[BmoreBrawler]

Shalafi, PBCS dictates that Mosley has to be a legit threat and big win for Cotto, seing as how he hung with Cotto while Cotto took out the trash vs now-Champ Quintana. Cotto is the real deal, I would not be surprised to see him KO Margarito to the body, as long as Cotto's chin and defense can survive the first 6 rounds.

Not to completely discredit Cotto's win against Mosley, but it was a 36? year old Mosley? he showed he could easily hang in there with Cotto and trade and take his best shots but like I said he is past his prime and Shane is not even a true Welter. OK you can arguably say this was Cotto's most important and meaningful win of his career, but to what extent? I think a prime Mosley would of MURDER Miguelito, that's PBCS wouldn't you agree?

Somebody take me through this. For real. I don't make threads like this but in this case we've reached an impasse. I have no idea how some of my friends here see Cotto winning. None at all sincerely.

Take me through it in technical terms, because when threads got made referring to Cotto's ability to stand up to pressure, and Cotto's chin, there were non answers and tounge in cheek responses. Some Cotto supporters have already stepped forward and said they can't pick him. It's reality time.

I remember you were like this before Cotto Mosley, saying Cotto didn't have a chance do you have a grudge against him or something. Personally I think Cotto will win but I ain't bothered either way it should be a helluva fight!

There is such a disparity in skill between these two guys in all sincerity that it’s kind of pointless to say Cotto is going to get knocked out. All you guys have at this point is Margarito with a puncher’s chance and let us be honest when the hell has Margarito punched like say Julian Jackson or George Foreman? The answer is never Margarito is not a one-punch knockout artist. He wears down opponents and after accumulation of punches he takes them out much like Cotto accept the difference is that Cotto has far more abilities than Margarito. This difference is going to be the deciding factor so Cotto is going to win regardless of what Margarito brings to the table. Let’s not forget that finally Cotto is sure of himself after defeating Mosley and that newly found confidence is what we saw against Alfonso Gomez. I hate to say this but Margarito is a harder more durable Alfonso Gomez. Yes he can punch and it relentless but the boxing abilities he possesses is far less from Cotto’s. I respect Margarito but in this fight he’s bringing a knife to a gunfight, and if he brings a gun Cotto will continue bringing something far more effective every time. Cotto has the ability to change game plans in the middle of the fight, which is what makes him far the better boxer. Margarito is a pressure fighter that doesn’t know anything but pressure. Cotto can switch his style on a dime and that is what was seen against Mosley. Not because Mosley was hurting Cotto but because Mosley, the veteran that he is switched his game plan on four separate occasions and Cotto being a stellar fighter adapted his game plan on four separate occasions as well, which is why he won the fight. Point blank and simple Cotto will be able to fight different plans and Margarito remains constant. Margaritos inability to change his fight plan will be his outdoing but again that’s because Cotto is the superior boxer at this point of his career and only improves with every outing.

Ok, well having slightly better Boxing skills than the guy you're fighting doesn't nescessarily add up to being Pernell Whitaker or Floyd Mayweather. Some say Cotto is a better Boxer than Margarito - but how good is that? Good enough to score and avoid getting hit for all 36 minutes? Not that good.

What happens when Cotto starts getting nailed with hard punches and combos? His offense sounds great. What about his defense - is he Willie Pep now? This slight alleged disparity in abilities does not add up to the kind of distance required to totally outclass your opponent. Not between these two.

Honestly, I'm wondering about stuff like this.

I think you just want Cotto to lose man. You're making Cotto sound like he just fought on ESPN Wedneday Night Fights last month. You really think Cotto is going to sit there and let Margarito hit him that easy like Kermit did? Cotto's defense is a lot better than what his haters make it out to be. Also, all this talk about Margarito hurting Cotto so bad...as if Cotto's power won't hurt Margarito? C'mon man...

I'm a Cotto fan and I'll tell you Cotto will have a tough fight against Margarito, but in the end Cotto has more in his arsenal and he won't let Margarito pressure him to the point where he can't move around the ring. Matter of fact once Margarito feels those hooks to the body you'll see less and less of Margarito trying to stay inside the pocket.

Cotto stops him in 9-10 rounds.

the only way Cotto losses this fight is if he doesn't come in with a solid game plan.Margarito can force the fight on Cottto as can Cotto but I think that the Boxing will make the difference. Cotto needs to destroy Margarito's body early so that his **** is affected later on. I think Cotto is going to stop him by TKO, somewhere along the lines I see Margari9to feeling those body punches and folding. Tony is really only as good as he can hit, if he hits you it's over but against smart Boxers whom wont allow themselves to be hit consecutively by 3 or 4 power shots and who will counter with something just as hard if not harder he will be at bay, just ask Joshua Clottey.

Tony is very direct, he's a smart brawler while Cotto is a smart Boxer. Cotto can switch stances frequently during combat to create more punching opportunities, he works behind a jab and he is very precise, Cotto does not waste punches and while YES Tony doesn't neither NO is his punches as coordinated and well thought of as Cotto.

Tony aims to knock you out and he's smart enough to dig into your guard, break it and ko you but against Cotto for every action there's a very harsh reaction, if Tony just ****s out at any opening and doesn't really pin point his punches on a strategical point of view he's going to allow Cotto to catch reck time Boxing him out, tear away at his body and chop him down to size.

I got Cotto by a late round stoppage, 11th or 12th, either one but I just see his arsenal proving too much for the taller but less skilled Margarito whom I think will just come to take 1 and give 3 once the heat turn up, Cotto can neutralize his assault behind his jab and tag him according to whatever openings are available. worse come to worse Cotto can **** out too and he's good enough to beat him at that too, factor in the skill factor and ongoing accuracy with stiff jabs and hard blows to the body and face I just see Cotto pulling it off.

This is Boxing, anything can happen and anyone can win, however after evaluating both fighters recently very thoroughly I came to the conclusion that Cotto will win, styles make fights and stylistically you got to favor the Boxer who can **** yet box his way out of tough situations over the smart Brawler who can ko you but can't exactly switch it up if you find a way to halt that attack. Cotto by late round stoppage, I got 20K on it, I want to bet on this fight. 1

I dont see Cotto winning at all..... Cotto has been hurt by smaller fighters, Margarito is a beast and pressures ur ass til your dead.... Margarito by Murder.




Exactly, Margarito throws plenty of vicious uppercuts and thats gonna be the key to murdering Cotito

yup, i gotta agree there,
i just don't see it

A feather fisted and weaker opponent in Malignaggi, a weak minded past his prime Judah, and an old as **** Shane Mosley?? is that really better opposition? bigger names, yes, I gotta give you that but it's not fair to pin that against Margarito who's been avoided but almost all the Welters in the division, he's never gotten a big break until now. The only credible win for Cotto in my eyes was against Quintana, both young and undefeated at the time.

Paulie is not a weaker opponent thats why he survive the fight with a broken jaw. A past prime judah, won like the 1rst 5 rounds against Floyd.And mosley being old, try to match Margo against Mosley and you will see how far behid is Tony in the skills deparment compare to Cotto or Mosley.And you forgetting, Kelson Pinto, Abdullaev,Torres, Corley,Bazan,Maussa,ect. DO you want me to continue?? You and addison make me laugh some times. Your hate for cotto have you blind. Margo is simply not in the same category as far as skills wise. Margo can beat maybe paul Williams in a rematch, maybe Judah,Maybe DLH (cuz he is old) but that as far as he will go. No disrespect but he is not in the Mayweather,Cotto, Mosley league!.Never will be. But like I always say, he is a realy exiting figther to watch. Love seen him fight!

What's the point of arguing about this subject when you are clearly blinded by your Cotto nuthuggery. And for your information, beleive it or not Cotto is on my top 10 current favorite fighters

EDIT: When I said Paulie was weaker, I was meaning strength-wise compared to Cotto, not in skills.

If that ain't the pot calling the kettle black.
