Dan Rafael reports that Cotto-Margarito is a done deal, scheduled for July 26 in Las Vegas. Both men are terrific action fighters with shaky defense, so it should be great. Cotto has advantages in athleticism and probably in hand speed, but his chin has been more dentable in the past than Margarito's. (Then again, so was the Terminator's.) Cotto is probably Gancho's favorite athlete, so of course I'll lay a lot of money on him, but I'm a little nervous about getting that money back. He'll will have to fight in bursts, punch going backwards, and move constantly to win this fight. Cotto has looked sensational over the past year, but I think this is probably the most difficult fight in existence for him. Neither Mosley nor Judah presented the challenge that Margarito will.
