Cotto have all the tools to make Margarito look like Mayorga. The thing is that Cotto is a bit arrogant andd took Margarito like he was a average fighter(wich skills wise he is)an that was a mistake. Cotto didnt train that well, he was training alone, because he was fighting with his entire corner(Cotto is a stuburn SOB), I hear that he was drinking in Vegas 3 days before the fight(True Story), plus he didnt had a plan for Margarito, he tought he would off steamroll through Margarito, and he was far from it.
****ing excuses just like duran
Now going into the rematch, he only needs to fix a few things, like circle MArgarito instead of going straight forward to the ropes, Go foward, he was back pedaling the whole fight. People here think that, going forward is a mistake, but Ive seen Margaritos entire career and he have problems with people going foward, he doesnt know how to back up, or defend himself when he is in trouble. By going forward he will open ways to hit Margo to the body(something Margarito doesnt like), and clinch whenever he gets t****d on the ropes. Plus conserve a little energy the first couple of rounds.
cotto ran from margarito the whole fight, he doesn't stand a chance in the rematch he doesn't punch hard enough and his stamina is crap for boxing.
Cotto knows he will win the first couple of rounds easily because Margo is a slow starter, so whygo and let everything out the first 3 rounds. Ultimately I think Cotto will win a comftrable UD like 116-112 or better.
