Prime Kostya Tszyu vs Miguel Cotto @ 144

Cotto would have to really pressure Tsyzu to stand a chance. He couldnt fight like he did against Margarito and hope to outbox Tszyu cos he'd get murdered. And he couldnt fight slow and methodically like he sometimes does. He'd have to really stay right on top of Tszyu and smother him. I think Tszyu would probably KO him.

I don't think Cotto would be too drained at 144 and he's bigger then Kostya, and no matter how much of a beast Kostya was at 140, i'm not so sure he can pressurise Cotto as much as Margarito did, considering it took until the 11th to stop him, especially when you consider the size difference between Kostya and Margarito. We know Kostya hit like a mule, but Cotto's body punches would get to Kostya in the mid-rounds. I'd say a Cotto TKO through a bloody battle.

Kostyas best punch was the straight right. Cottos vulnerable to right hands especially below welterwt. thank you, that's what i was going to write.

I think even 144 would affect Cotto, maybe not as much as 140 but it would be enough for Tszyu to knock him out IMO.

140 - tszyu kills cotto 147 - cotto probably wins 144 - who knows????

because miguel had weight issues at 140, he gets a bit more fluid in him at 144 .

why 144? why not 140?

I just think Tzsyu would have had a little too much for Miguel. It would indeed have been a great fight though.

I think Kostya but i'm not 100% sure, would be an epic fight!

Oh man I can't even make a prediction on that it would have been a fucking BATTLE, I don't think it would have gone the distance.
