He looked pretty damn good against Paul Williams, but obviously he didn't have to worry about sledgehammer punches from Williams, as he would against Cotto. He also would have a lot harder time hitting Cotto than he did Williams, as Cotto has a much more defensive-friendly style than the go-for-broke style of Williams.
Quintana is slick enough that he might be able to jab and move to a decision.
Would anyone even give him a chance?
Remember Quintana was also Cotto's first WW fight. Cotto was regressing towards to tail end of his jrWW career and becoming some what of a plodder. He has steadily improved in his fights as a full WW. I think Cotto is a better boxer now than when he first fought Quintana and he now throws a better jab than he did in there first fight.
Cotto via KO again.
Actually, I would love for Quintana to fight Collazo again cause I used to argue with some Collazo fans on the board claiming that Collazo is a much better fighter. I have a personal disdain for Collazo not just because how it looks. The guy lost to Hatton fair and square, lost too many rounds to Mosley who fought like shit in his prior two bouts at 147, and Collazo and some boxing critics claim that he's the one of the best and he should be receiving another shot. Andre Berto would whoop that guy.
he never fought collazo.
He was outboxing Cotto until he got bashed in the body in the 5th. As soon as Cotto got to the liver the fight was over. Talent wise he has the goods to compete with Cotto but he couldn't elude Cotto's power all night. Surely he'd fight well but he'd get beaten again.
outboxing cotto?right.he gave and he got.cotto was just too much.now I'm not sure.i think he fairs better now.

no imo
he was overpowered, not outboxed. and since cotto is probably stronger and faster than before i wouldnt give him much of a chance. hed just get run over again
