I'm curious to see what most of the people in this forum think. What would
happen if Prime Tito at 147 fought the Cotto now? Personally I think Trinidad
would stop Cotto but would still like to know what the forum thinks.
But don't get me wrong. I think Cotto is a better all around boxer than
Trinidad. I just think Trinidad's power would be too much
Cotto would frustate Trinidad and punish him. Cotto's too smart to go toe to toe with Tito he would use his speed and confuse Tito hit him with hard shots and win a convincing decision maybe even a KO.
Toe to toe it would be Tito no contest, but Cotto would have no part of that.
Prime Tito at 147lbs would probably knock out any WW that mixes it up with him and who is not a pure slick boxer.
Tito at 147lbs was very strong physically had excellent reach and probably had as much if not more power than any WW in history.
Depends on if Trinidad's fists were loaded or not.
Oh take it easy, it's a damn joke. Trinidad had better handspeed and was battle-tested against better opposition, if Corley could rock Cotto, Trinidad would launch him into orbit.
Trinidad would wreck Cotto I think. Trinidad's handspeed was underrated at times. Although Cotto was said to be fast by Quintana, he didn't look nearly as fast as someone like Trinidad with his hooks and straights. I think Tito would pick Cotto apart if not KO him with 1 shot.
tito would win this fight tito was not the same fighter at 147 than the one people remember against hopkins and winky......at 147 lbs. he had his power and he boxed and had better movement when he moved up to 154 lbs. he was allready in love with his power .....tito by k.o.....tito is one of my fav. fighters of all time i have him behind wilfredo gomez as the 2nd. greatest pr. fighter.....but i think cotto will end up with a better career cotto is a very good technichal fighter has good power and is always improving and knows he needs to improve after each performance he also has a trainer that will give him real advice ..
a prime tito vs. cotto now. cotto loses. cotto after a few more fights cotto wins. cotto will replace fraud at p4p no. 1 before too long. cotto is more fun to watch and can beat better opposition.
I luv Cotto but Trinidads my boy and he'd melt Cotto! Definately! I'll say this tho, Cotto has time to improve and i think he will but not enough to match the gr8 Titi Trinidad!
Right NOW, I'll say Tito easily by ko, but Cotto would score an early flash knockdown, since Tito was always a little too stiff early in a bout, probably second or third round. He would get up and 4 rounds later end it.
i think Cotto is a bit overrated because of his win over Quintana.
but Cotto left hooks is more techincal that Tito Tito is more explosive . Cotto does not go side way and that is the style that is suitable for Tito.
Fargas would beat Tito too good techincal boxer with great right hand power.
right now Cotto beaten contender and clean them up at 140 and just started 147 he didnt fight any experinced champ of the elite like Zab, Mayweather, Hatton Harris or any of the champ that where out there.
yeah like someone stated at the same age cotto is tito was already collecting impressive wins to retain his title as cotto just got a title at welterweight....tito inside 4......
Cotto's been around for a fair while now - think by this time in his career Tito was on about his 4th defence of the Welterweight crown.
See Tito a class above Cotto, & don't see Cotto improving enough in the future to make a difference.
Tito by 8.
