Cotto is one of my favorite current fighters, but I don't see him beating Quintana.
It's pretty stupid to even compare Paulie to Quintana, Paulie can't punch like Quintana.
Quintana is very skilled boxer, I will favor him against many top boxers, Quintana can box, can punch and can take a good punch.
I think this fight will not happen, Cotto's people will know that they have made a big mistake picking Quintana.
If they do fight, I pick Quintana to win by late TKO!
Exactly what I was thinking.
Cotto appears beatable because he appears, and is,
easy to hit. That will be his downfall. I'm gonna go out
on a limb here and say Quintana is the guy that will do
it!
Quintana by KO in 7 in a "shocking upset"!
Quintana will expose Cotto but the question is will he win, i think the dide is a good fighter and isnt he southpaw, but the fact is he will do his job but will he will, this is the question and it will be answered soon enough, as of now i say Cotto wins but i may change my mind!
Cotto is also a southpaw he just happens to fight conventional. I think that if he sees himself in trouble he will start fighting southpaw in the later rounds. To close to call in my opinion. I have to see more of Quintana
If you haven't been reading the forums long, the same thing happened with the Klit brothers. The more Klit fans raved about them, the more many hated them. I admit I haven't seen Cotto's fights under 140, but at 140 IMO he is flat footed, but only when he has to come forward. I saw the Abdulaev fight and when he used the ring he looked pretty good.
Cotto has always been at 140, and he only started to look "flat footed" when making weight would drain him.
Watch his fights with Sosa, Jukko, Ceballos, Bazan etc...he showed good movement and would fight up on his toes well. He definitely wont look like a plodder whatsoever at 147.
stop using the word EXPOSE. i hate it. cotto has already been "exposed" in a good way by winning action packed fights by KO on tv.
god damn!
WHEN IS DINO GETTING BANNED!!!!!!
its amazing how many cotto haters are in here.............whats worse is that they dont know jack about boxing.......and people actually start to believe the stupidity they read.............cotto flat footed?.........have you guys ever even watched one of his fights wtf is wrong with you people.....go start your own web site or something......hey you could call it COTTOHATERS.COM...........yeah and then you could all bask in your stupidity together........yay!!!!!.............just please, dont do it here..........im no nuthugger im a fan and I box, I live and breathe boxing but I never talk bad about other boxers but at the end of the day you really got to respect someone for getting up and fighting in front of large crowds until the fight is over.....all for our entertainment.

quintana also has a pretty good defense.. he knows how to use that ring.. and he does it well.. he wont be stupid in the fight (rush for a KO), and hell eek out a decision.. if it close i give the edge to cotto because hes more popular
if he can hurt cotto, he might be able to finish him.. i dont see that happening.. wens the fight?
Of course, I predicted the same thing with Malignaggi but I do believe Quintana is a better fighter than Malignaggi.
Also remember that Paulie didn't fight the fight we thought he would, hope Quintana doesn't do the same thing lol

They same was said about Paulie and you know the outcome.
Paulie didnt fight his fight but tired to fight Cottos fight.
He wa toe-to-toe but i think he could have easily outboxed him.
I wasn't aware this fight was going to happen, but if its true, props to Cotto for taking this fight. It's high risk/low reward. Quintana has a very legit shot at outboxing cotto for the duration of the fight
You know what Dino, this may be the first time we ever agreed on something. After seeing what Quintana was able to do to Julio, I really believe that Cotto is in for a terrible night against his tricky paizano in December.
Cotto is a near carbon copy to Julio, both are flat footed, over patient bangers who are only effective if you stay in their zone. Quintana is a mover, he will slow down the pace and use angles on his toes where Cotto cannot readjust his footwork to get his shots off. I really see this being the same thing really. Of course, I predicted the same thing with Malignaggi but I do believe Quintana is a better fighter than Malignaggi.
If Quintana can do what he did to Julio, Cotto is in huge trouble because this guy isn't Malignaggi.
