Miguel Cotto vs Marco Maidana at 147

Hearing Cotto is looking for a new trainer. If he does find one he needs to make an effort to make 147. He's too small for 154. Now if he can make the weight this is the fight I wanna see first. Who wins? http://thaboxingvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Marcos+Maidana+Canelo+Alvarez+v+Josesito+Lopez+VaFUUA6BNoMl1.jpg VS http://l2.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/uo63l._imloj_U0nVBomIQ--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9aW5zZXQ7aD00MjA7cT04NTt3PTYzMA--/http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/News/gettyimages.com/austin-trout-v-miguel-cotto-20121201-202607-469.jpg

That would be a pretty good fight. They should make it in June in NYC when they have the PR parade and have Velez on the card if he beats De Leon. I got Maidana beating Cotto at 147. Miguel hasn't fought at that wait in years but I do like Cotto at 147. I felt like he had more power in his punches at that weight. Diaz made Cotto forget about his right hand which he needs to bring back to his game.

Nah Maidana is smallish at 147, when in shape. At 154 he'd be fat, more fat than he was against Devon. Cotto drains himself to 147, Maidana knocks him out. I hate to admit it, but you might be right. :dunno:

I hesitate to answer because I don't know how Cotto will be back at 147. How bout Maidana comes up to 154? Nah Maidana is smallish at 147, when in shape. At 154 he'd be fat, more fat than he was against Devon. Cotto drains himself to 147, Maidana knocks him out.

Really surprised to see Phantom make a goofy thread like this. Power is almost equal and Cotto has ten times the technique. Really lopsided.

When facing quality fighters, Maidana is little more than a punching bag. Cotto 119-110, if Cotto can make 147

maidana maybe too tough for cotto quitter attitude but cotto is the bigger better boxer so he can defiantly win. Anyone who believes Cotto has a "quitter attitude is either stupid or bias.(or both) @ 147 Cotto is a beast, but too tough to call at this point. Smart money's on Cotto, UD. Odds wouldn't be lop sided though. ^^^This^^^I honestly believe Cotto has been at the end of his career since before Cheato vs Cotto 2.

Cotto could beat Maidana with one arm tied behind his back.

Correction. He'd rather be eating good with all the money he has now. His "ripped and ready" weight is 147. There's no doubt about it. You saw what he was eating, when he was cooking for his daughter, during the Cotto/Trout 24/7 (SHowtime's version) show? This. Cotto would have to actually watch what he eats and put on a sweat suit from time to time

Cotto's shaky endurance/stamina/punch resistance and his inability to withstand facial punishment + Maidana's power/determination = recipe for disaster

If Cotto could make the weight, comfortably, he'd have absolutely no problem beating Maidana. Outbox the living hell out of him.

I'm not sure about DLH moment. DLH was a big 154 lber especially by today's standards. Cotto is a small 154 lber even today. Cotto could make WW in healthy condition , compared to DLH 140 attempt during training. In my opinion of course.

C'mon, he ain't going to 147. Its over at 147 people. Its been four years. He drops down there, he's having a DLH moment

Cotto isn't making 147. He hasn't been there in 4 years now in 2013.

Cotto just mentioned his return in the fall...is that a hint that he may be coming back down to 147 since he will need that time to do so "safely"? ???
