Humberto Soto is a guy that can adapt to his opponents style plus the fact he has decent defense and has good power in both hands, most of the top JLW would be in for a long night. Saturday night showed why guys like Pacquiao, Barerra, and Valero are not to keen on getting in the ring with him anytime soon. He's not a world class, A+ fighter but he gets the most out of what skills he does have and can present problems for the top level guys if given the chance.

Margarito is a one-dimensional brawler that benefits from his opponent trying to trade with him. Anyone who has decent boxing skills will give him fits. Clottey proved it for four rounds before he got injured and he has above average boxing skills with sound defense. Cotto would eat Margarito alive. The reason why he calls himself "a ducked fighter" is because he knows he'll get ruined by the top WW's in the division. Margarito is a B level fighter at best.
