Cotto vs Lara

Cotto gets absolutely dominated.

Well actually how can you say that when the only time Canelo fought him it was at 155lbs lol!! I didnt say canelo already beated lara at 154, did i ??? A lesser version of canelo already beated lara at 155, canelo should have no problem this time at 154...

Lara would abuse Miguel. Might even stop him.

lol, Cotto beats Lara comfortably, in a good fight. I gotta say, I'm in awe as to the schism between Lara's extreme popularity on boxingscene and his lack thereof everywhere else. Going by what people on here say, Lara would be in a 50-50 match-up against Kovalev, too. :lol1: Don't get me wrong; Lara's a beautiful boxer, but Cotto is clearly levels above him. If anyone thinks the loss to Trout means anything, then they must not have closely followed Cotto's career, IMO. Lara would fall right into Cotto's wheelhouse. Cotto is at his best when facing boxers. Why would the Trout loss not mean anything? I have followed his career, and think what you are saying makes no sense. Trout is a boxer, and Cotto was thoroughly out-boxed. Lara is a bad style match-up for Cotto...worse than Trout was. Cotto is running out of guys he can beat at 154 and 147, if he chooses to go back there. A fight with Bradley might be good, and an even fight imo. I would like to see Cotto vs Pacquiao when not weight drained to 145. That is probably the best fight he can make imo.

If Cotto was a little "fresher" I think he would win this fight, but the current version of Cotto I'm not sure about. I think I'd slightly favor Lara, but I wouldn't rule out the possibly of Cotto catching Lara with a solid left hook as Lara backs out with his hands down, shake him up and try to capitalize and get a TKO.

styles make fights. ithink lara wins every round.

probably not the right style for cotto. id like to see it. id watch cotto fight almost anyone. hed probably lose a close ud though. Cotto should try to avenge his loss to Trout. Lara beat the piss out of Trout. The only guy at 154 right now that beats Lara imo is Andrade. Better skills and has about a 3-4 inch height advantage. I thought Lara beat Canelo in a close fight. The only fight that is big enough and winnable at 154 for Cotto I think is Angulo or Kirkland. Maybe one of the Charlos would be a good fight. He loses to the top guys at 160 and 147.

Two of the best fighters in the world fighting each would be a fight I would love to see. I am sure Lara would win. I am sure Cotto would fight his heart out and give Lara a good fight.

I thought Canelo beat both of them but the Canelo vs Lara fight was very close while the Canelo vs Cotto fight was not that close. I think the loss to Canelo took some of the fight out of Cotto. He thought he was unbeatable with Roach training him and he found out he wasn't. He has not returned to boxing since then and he will be rusty. Lara fights often and seems as sharp as ever.Lara would use his fast, long and accurate right jab and straight left and his footwork to keep the fight at long range and stay off the ropes. He should win a clear ud.

If you thought Trout's movement gave Cotto problems.... Lara would frustrate him to no end. I don't think he hurts him though, Lara would be too cautious to take enough chances to hurt or finish Cotto.

Keep Cotto the hell away from Lara

Lara wins..to much movement...bad style match up for Cotto Yeah no way Cotto can win this fight to be honest. Lara is a big guy as well. What was it 175lbs on fight night? Bigger, more power, accurate as **** and a great mover. Cotto would be in for a long night.

Well actually how can you say that when the only time Canelo fought him it was at 155lbs lol!! Gottem true facts

Lara beats anyone at 154 not named canelo.. and im no lara fan... Well actually how can you say that when the only time Canelo fought him it was at 155lbs lol!!

Cotto vs Lara would be a good fight right now at 154lbs.Especially a PR vs a Cuban that would make it better.I would like to hear your guys thoughts on it. Would you like to see the fight happen? How do you think the fight would play out? Who do you think wins and how ? Lara beats anyone at 154 not named canelo.. and im no lara fan...

Lara wins..to much movement...bad style match up for Cotto

Cotto by easy KO.

Have to pick Lara, especially at this point in time. Would honestly be surprised if they make this fight.
