How do you think he would do against the monster that is Juan Manuel Marquez now at 147?

Cotto is naturally larger. JMM looks like a Lightwieght in this vid, where Cotto looks like a natural Welter. But at 145, Cotto didn't look much larger than Manny. Cotto ain't going to 145 again, but I think a cut to 147 would level the playing field a bit for JMM. Too bad Miguel ain't looking to go south of 154. Don't blame him though, cutting weight sucks.
Because he's afraid of Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao.
He's already almost there... just a couple more pounds.
Since when is Miguel 'scared' to fight anybody?
never thought this fight could be within reach, but it almost seems makeable now. Maybe a cw or something? We'll see if Tim is able to make it a physical fight with Marquez, if he's able to walk in and out against juan then Cotto should be able to as well. still would love to see it
Cotto has been knock downed before at 140 or 147 but in this stage of his career, his more vulnerable now.
JMM on the other hand, while knocking out Pac with that 1 punch, can he do it with Cotto? If his gonna KO Cotto, its more of combination of punches. But JMM handle a bigger fighter in Cotto.
Hard to choose but i give JMM a slight edge.

Look at the veins on JMM, didn't notice that before.
I think Cotto would beat Marquez with ease, I don't think he has a style that would allow him to deal with someone who is capable of bullying him whilst boxing or brawling.
with their trajectories and being where they are right now, in 6 months from now if they fight, my money is on JMM. i like his lungs to see him with a W late in a catch weight, hell of a fight against cotto.
those veins, tho.
