One minute I think Cotto and the next I think Harris, so basicly im 50/50 on it. I also think thats how the fight would be. A close down to the wire somewhat contreversial ending. I believe it will be cause for a rematch but if Cotto wins then he might try to move on for bigger fights while Harris will be saying that he is scared because he knows what really happened the first time
Btw I just saw the fight btw Cotto and Abdulaev(?) in Sydney and Cotto got rob big time…
Yeah, so many of Cotto's punches landed but were never counted in that match. That was highway robbery at it's best!
I knew he sparred with Zoo but I didn't know he sparred with Mayo or Joppy. Corley's a solid contender but has come up short in his biggests fights & seems to be declining a bit. If he can take Cotto into the later rounds I think he could make the fight interesting. I just don't see him being able to absorb some of Cotto's body attack. I think Harris would beat Cotto because of his good jab & right hand.
He sparred with Mayorga and got him ready for the Spinks fight just like he got Zoo ready for the Mitchell fight. He sparred with Joppy because they are both from DC and train in the same gym alot but they are not friends anymore. He came up short against Floyd and Zab but I think that Cotto is a better matchup for him because he's not as fast but more importantly he's not as experienced. Floyd and Zab have fought guys better then Chop but Cotto hasnt
It was more of Zab's and Floyd's speed then power. Cotto's power wont bother him. He has fought Zab and Baily who are both power punchers but the biggest thing that people are forgetting is that he has sparred alot of rounds with Zoo and Mayorga so Cotto's power wont have a huge effect. He has also sparred with Joppy

The one thing that makes me say that is because Zab dropped him with 1 punch & Floyd overwhelmed him with a flurry of punches. Cotto comes in so heavy by fight night that he'll be hittng Corley harder than he's ever been hit.

This will be a tough fight for Cotto and he might lose. I dont think Cotto can knock him out

Corley is gonna get stopped in this fight because Cotto comes in weighing like a Jr. Middleweight. I don't think Corley has the power to get Cotto's respect to keep him at bay. I would love to see Vivian Harris vs Cotto. That fight makes alot of sense & it would show just how good each fighter is.

Hard to say. I've never seen Harris fight, but Harris' height, reach, skill and power might give Cotto trouble. I pick Cotto, but it's an uninformed pick.
Oh, like Bailey didn't have a powerful right that Cotto took very well. I doubt Harris has a bigger right than Bailey, just look at the KO percentages.
Bailey is SHOT DOWN.
You haven't seen Harris fight, Harris has a right hand that can hurt anybody in the division. I'm not a fan of Cotto or Harris but I'm a fan of good fights. I think this would be a good fight for both guys. Harris has a belt if that means anything, but his belt is a true world title while Cotto's is a poor version (Tszyu's the undisputed champ regardless). That should be a good reason for this fight to happen, two young lions going at it.
Yes, he is the best Cotto has faced and is a lefty (which is what Cotto needs) but I doubt Cotto will lose to him. Weirder things have happened in boxing, tho.
However, if Cotto KO's him I hope you are man enough to admit that you were wrong.
I was wrong about what? I hope you just mean it being a tough fight
He might beat Corley but he wont kill him and I wouldnt be suprised if he lost. He will be by far the best guy that he's fought plus he's a lefty

Mausa and Pinto are not on Harris level. The stuff that works against those weaker opponents dont always work against the best. If Harris hit's him with one of those big rights he will be in trouble

Cotto had trouble with Pinto, right. Watch the fight again he made Pinto look like a bum. Once Cotto kills Corley people will see he is for real.

I wouldnt say he made him look like a bum, Cotto was unsettled more than usual.
Corley will be a good step up for Cotto, but i expect Cotto to take him out.
He has shown his biggest weakness by getting boxed from the outside
I dont understand why people say Pinto was outboxing Cotto :confused:
Pinto used his extra reach a couple of times and landed with the jab, it was Pinto's willingness to trade&pressure that unsettled Cotto.
IMO the only person who could outbox Cotto from the outside is Mayweather, Using in and out tactics and mixing jab to head and body, maybe a couple of lead rights.
