Cotto at 140lbs going toe-to-toe with Maidana...who wins?

Interesting matchup. Maidana seems to have legit power, but he's been tested kind of softly thus far, IMO. Cotto was chinny at 140, also. I'd pick Miguel to win by late TKO, in a fight filled with knockdowns, and a lot of ebb and flow. Yeah there'd definitely be a couple of knockdowns for both men. Going toe to toe I still think Cotto would take him. He's got more fire power. Maidana might hit harder, but Cotto's left hook is too fast, and he'd land it at will. True. Now only is Cotto's left hook fast, but he's a more accurate puncher compared to Maidana's looping punches. i think it would be simlar to the torres fight at the end of the day cotto by k.o. That's how I imagine this fight being played out too...sadly we'll never actually witness it..

A prime 140 Cotto would embarrass Maidana.

Maidana wins, cotto takes a knee late 10th round I never knew Maidana use plaster wraps. Do you know some thing we dont ???

I'd pick Maidana in a toe to toe sluggfest with Cotto,taller,can punch & to me is tougher!!But in a real boxing match Cotto has the skill + the power to beat Maidana's power alone!!

If Maidana stood and traded with Torres hed have been knocked unconscious. Yup, Torres didn't have much, he did have power and underrated handspeed. He's someone you don't stand and trade punches with.

Cotto, Torres hits harder than Maidana. But does Corley hit harder than Maidana? He wobbled Miguel fierce.

Cotto, Torres hits harder than Maidana.

At the end of his 140 career, Cotto was weight-drained, so Maidana could have knocked him out. Prime 140, whould have boxed Maidana's ears off

Cotto. He would rip Maidana to the head and body over and over at will.
