Cotto stops Margarito this time and heres why!

[M.I Truth ?]

Margarito suffered a tough stoppage against Mosley, was gone for a over a year came back and had a tune up followed by a almost career ending beating from Pac. Cotto has been much more active in between his stoppage losses to both Margarito and Pac. He will be sharper and I'm sure he has physically recovered from those fights even if he has not fully mentally recovered. I'm not sure that Margarito has recovered in either way. The injury he suffered with his orbital bone could have ended his career. They wanted to make this fight so quick that Margarito has not had any type of tune up to get sharp or build confidence. Its a bad move for him in my opinion. I like Cotto and will be in the arena cheering for him. I just don't see how Margarito is going to be sharp considering his activity in the past couple years and I don't know how well he will be able to hold up after what happened to him in his last fight. He may not be the same guy anymore. Bottom line I see Cotto getting revenge in Dec. Thoughts?

Cotto took an ever worse beating and hasn't looked sharp at all to me recently. I don't think Margs looked shot vs pac, but i thought cotto was borderline shot vs foreman.

its not like cotto's been mad active and looking like cotto of 147. i also think margs carries 154 a lot better than cotto. cotto's arms are short and he looks like a small jmw to me. margs still looks big at jmw.

Margarito will damn near kill Cotto in the ring that night.

There is a very good chance Cotto stops Margarito because of Margarito's eye but he shold not go looking for a KO. The gameplan should be about going 12 rounds and winning round by round fighting all 3 minutes. Cotto will land the flashy and eye catching punches because of his speed so winning rounds won't be a problem. Cotto should use his jab as the first option and use it to set up the hook to the body followed by the right hand. He should put pressure on Margarito and stay out of the ropes because you can't go on the ropes and move backwards against a high volume puncher.

Cotto will win and if the oppurtunity to take Margarito out comes he will finish him.

I'm not saying its the same Cotto because its clearly not. But think about Margaritos last three fights and the how much time in between those fights and this fight coming up. I don't like to use the word Shot because i don't think its about that persay. I do not expect Margarito who is already a slow starter to look sharp and I question if he will have the durability he is known for at this point.

Thanks for your well thought out input.

but the thing is that all that time-off between fights, in this case, helps Margz more than it hurts him.

Cotto took a worst beating against Pacquiao than Margarito? WTF? Cotto was fighting 6 months later Margarito face needed surgery. Coto looked shot vs Foreman? Didn't he KO the guy? Didn't he win almost every round against a natural 154 pounder? I suggest you watch every Cotto fight since the first Margarito fight and every fight of Margarito since the Cotto fight and tell me who looks sharp.

I agree and I think Margarito may start to break down if tries to just walk through punches like he did in the past. Margarito is not going out box Cotto so he is going to try to overwhelm him again. That won't work if he lost some of that durability that he's known for.
