can cotto beat chavez jr ?

No almost certainly about it. He got busted for it once, and is skipping on drug tests these days. its laughable the things this guy come up with to skip out on tests. and its all made possible because he fights in texas. there should never be another big fight held in that town until they prove they are serious about the rules applying to everyone.

cotto's a very small jr mw to boot there's a huge gap in size. cotto is smaller than your average man jr is bigger than your average man by a good deal. probably 30+ lbs difference in natural size / walking around weight. maybe even more. jr enters camp looking like a cruiserweight that couldnt possibly make it down to MW. he almost certainly takes drugs to make weight.

No it is essentially a 154lb against a dirty Super Middleweight. cotto's a very small jr mw to boot there's a huge gap in size. cotto is smaller than your average man jr is bigger than your average man by a good deal. probably 30+ lbs difference in natural size / walking around weight. maybe even more. jr enters camp looking like a cruiserweight that couldnt possibly make it down to MW. he almost certainly takes drugs to make weight.

No it is essentially a 154lb against a dirty Super Middleweight. exactly. even when arum was floating the idea around, i knew he was setting up cotto to lose once again. the weight on chavez is insurmountable for most widdleweights and cotto is barely a jmw as it is.

If your a Cotto fan you should have some heart for him. He took a brutal beating from Margarito and you don't come back from thoughs, they stay with you! He has NO power if you knew what you were looking at you could tell how he throws his shots and how much arm, hip and body is with his shots. He's an arm puncher 75% of the time. He gave Floyd a tuff fight? Really it looks like he lost and I didn't see Floyd struggle at all. Remember Floyd has no power either! This is an era of WW that are arm punchers at best or how does a superfly move up through the classes to fight from 140 to 147 and WIN???? (Manny) and he's no power guy either. Leonard, Hearns and Duran would be demolishing these guys inside of 8 rounds. Can you imagine these no power guys in with the WW from the 40 thru the 60s??? The younger fans today have no idea what a brutal puncher those guys were, they fought twice a month there was NO HBO you got paid by how you drew fans into the arena. Mayweather would be booed out of the riing back then if he fought like he does now. Because you weren't there doesn't make it untrue. Imagine these guys getting in the ring with Sugar Ray Robinson, are you kidding me he'd punish these kids today. He fougfht for over 20 yrs in the pros and along with his amatuer fights was stopped once in over 300 fights!!! Mayweather is in iso in a jail because the boys will make him their ***** and he's crying to go home. He beat up a girl!!! Get real! Ray. i can tell by the way you talk that you know very little about these fighters. cotto was a knockout puncher at 140 and still had very good pop at 147 margarito has one of the best chins of all time. that's probably the only cotto fight you've ever seen

Not now...Cotto can't deal with the CONSISTENT PRESSURE! I think Chavez Jr beats Cotto right now I am kinda jumping on the Chavez Jr. bandwagon a little bit...I am just a fan of fighters who can fight inside as well as VICIOUS BODY PUNCHERS because you do see many young fighters go to the Body...especially not as relentless as Chavez Jr does So I would pick Chavez over Cotto right now...also the fact that Chavez Jr would be so much bigger then Cotto on Fight Night and that would play a MAJOR FACTOR!

What about stamina?? There is no way Cotto has compatible stamina. He always slows down in fights. Hell, he did it against Floyd. Cotto does have great skills. But he's still too small & still cannot handle pressure. Chavez steamrolls him at 160 & I don't expect Chavez to do any catchweights whatsoever. In anycase, i doubt cotto will want to fight chavez after sergio taps that.

I can give chavez being bigger and having more power, but lets not get ahead of ourselves and say the chavez has better stamina, that remains unproven as far as im concerned. Cotto has a great boxing skillset, a great jab (which chavez has shown difficulty against, and decent pop on his punches. You cab say whatever about chavez, but lettuce be cereal, whats his marquee win? Zbik? What about stamina?? There is no way Cotto has compatible stamina. He always slows down in fights.

Cotto has no power he would be heavily outmatched and would be stopped . He couldn't hurt Manny and Manny hurt him, a 165lbs man who punches well and can only get better would hurt Cotto brutally. Cotto needs to retire or be matched against boxer who can't out power him. Why take more punishment he's done well with earnings just retire and hopefully he's safe from health issues latter in life. He is a nice young man who comes to fight and not cheat the fans. Easy to rout for this type of young man. Retire! Ray. lol a guy just gives Floyd Mayweather his toughest fight in years and you want him to retire? Cotto has no power, really? Just because Cotto would probably lose to a guy who blows up to 180 by fight night doesn't mean he should just hang up the gloves. Plenty of guys at 154 he can still beat. Fokc out of here with that mess.

Ask pacquiao Im not saying he will win, but i do think it is ridiculous to count out cotto. The dude has very underrated boxing skills. He would need to take a similar approach that he did against margarito II, moving and pivoting, let chavez wear himself down. You can say chavez doesnt tire, but i dont believe it. Not saying he does tire, but it is seriosuly in question, considering how much he drains his body down, hes a freakin skeleton walking out to the scale. Just because he rehydrates on water and poop, doesnt mean he has stamina for days. http://i902.photobucket.com/albums/ac230/akscoundrel/Chavez-Jr-vs-Lee-3_0.jpg this :boxing:

Well I by stark contrast think its ridiculous to even believe that Cotto can compete at 160, against the premier pressure fighter there. Whose much bigger, has more power, better stamina & better than Margarito in every way possible.

Maybe cotto is 10x the fighter junior is. I'd ask for the fight at 158 though and not in Texas Cotto is 5/7 Jr is 6/1. There won't be a catchweight because Jr cannot do it. I'm a Cotto fan bro, but I'm also a realist. Book mark this post if the fight gets made at 160 & Cotto wins, I'll give you the points free. I won't take your points when Chavez bombs him out because it'll be painful for me to watch.

What kind of shape would it take to handle a man at least 20lb's bigger exactly?? Ask pacquiao Im not saying he will win, but i do think it is ridiculous to count out cotto.

Cotto has no chance.. Chavez would brutally stop him. Bad fight..
