Highly anticipated match up this one and has recently been made! The tough mexican Margarito has been one of the top welterweights for a while now and is a feared puncher who has twice overpowered Kermit Cintron in KO wins, but fell short against hotly tipped Paul Williams last year in a decision loss. Cotto is the new force of the division with immense power, a come forward fighter with great boxing skills and alot of aggression.
This is sure to be a brutal fight and a contender for fight of the year!
My pick is Cotto. I truely believe that he will take over from Floyd Mayweather and head the division. I'd even say he would give Floyd a good beating if they were to ever get it on.
What do you think?

This is going to be fight of the year really really hope it does not let everyone down. Two warriors it is going to be a good old fashioned brawl. I go for Cotto in this one as well Ton tottally agree he will hopefully go on to PBF or De La Hoya. I think Cotto will have the beating of De la Hoya but I fancy PBF to outbox him

I'm going to buck the trend, I fancy Margarito.
Cotto is a beast, but for a decent boxer, I don't think he is that hard to handle. I thought he would blow away Mosely, but he very nearly lost it.
Margarito is no Mosely technically, but he can box, and I actually think he is harder to hit than Cotto, and much better from distance.
As Hatton has showed, if your not that hard to hit, you've got every chance of losing against a quality opponent. For all Cotto's strengths, and there are many, he is still to easy to hit in my mind.
As for future bouts, I'd back him to beat de la hoya, if it was at Welter. Not so sure about a move up just yet.
Mayweather would be too much though. He's been in with bigger stronger boys than Cotto in the past in my opinion, and has got through it easy. Cotto would spend far too much time getting hit himself to hurt Mayweather
