I'm not here to make any arguements amongst the boxing people because i know that there are fans on both sides and i hope that none of the cotto fans are offended by my prediction between a possible match-up between Cotto and Harris.
This fight would be very important to either fighter and open up oppurtunities for both who ever is to come out the victor. Harris will win by late stoppage or decision if it goes the distance. I am not saying that cotto stands no chance against Harris. If Harris utilyzes his heighth and reach, plus come in the fight with plenty of feints to use he will win the fight. Cotto is near a complete fighter and would be hard for many of the fighters to handle for his earley onslaught for the first few rounds, but eventually conditioning takes its toll and we'll see how he handles going into the later rounds with good schooled fighters instead of one-demonsional fighters like N'Dou
please feel free to type points so that we can have discussion ;)

Pinto and Baileys height & reach had no effect and i doubt Harris would have any more success because of it.
I think Harris is a very good fighter but i'd favour Cotto to win well, i even think Cotto could win easier than Tszyu, Hatton, Gatti, Mitchell or Mayweather against Harris! Thats only because of the styles because i dont think Cotto would beat some of the guys mentioned.

I know i sent you a personal message earlier, but like i said Pinto and Baileys didn't use their heighth to their advantage. Harris does taking nothing away from Cotto he's a champion and nobody has proven to take that from him yet, and yes his last performance against Baileys was quite impressive i just think that Harris is a better fighter. My opinion

Harris would be the most complete fighter that Cotto would face up to date. Manny Stewart has Harris using his height more along with his jab. Just watch the Urkal II fight & you can see the difference in his style. Cotto would have to watch for his powerful right hand & a jab in his face all night.

Cotto would give Harris a "vicious" beating...

I'm not so sure about that. You never hear Cotto's people talk about Harris as a potential opponent. No one in the division really does because he's a high risk, low reward fighter.

I would say low risk, low reward...

yes cotto would lose.........cotto is out of harris' league and still boxes slighlty amateurish..........so i could see harris winning convincingly.
I think Cotto could get inside and work Vivians body to stop him.
