It's a fair assumption that Cotto would box Maidana's head off, but if they stood in front of each other and traded bombs that would be something to watch...so who packs more power and who would be the last man standing?
if it's 2005, i don't think madaina looked any diffrent than torres. i'd fully expect cotto to beat him.
same...I actually see that fight playing out like Cotto-Torres.
Cotto is Maidana's superior in every way except one: power. Maidana has freakish punching power in both hands and the Torres fight showed that if Cotto thinks he has you hurt, you can get to him with a bomb and it will affect him. I would favor Cotto to win just on sheer gulf of class, but I wouldn't bet on it and there is a decent chance that Maidana catches Cotto on the chin and puts him to sleep.
