Peak Cotto vs Peak Spence

I'd side with Spence in a close fight. Outside of the Errol's size advantage, Cotto's lack of a right hand will make it hard for him to fight a bigger southpaw with a long jab. There's nothing strong coming down the middle from Cotto towards Spence outside of a jab. Hard beating a world class southpaw without a straight right Only reason I say it's a close fight is because the Porter fight showed that Spence could be forced into a dog fight. And Cotto is sharp on the inside with good technique

I think it would be an action packed fight were both get damaged...But I see Spence breaking Cotto down and taking over late

Cotto He can fight lefty as well I see Cotto winning a clear but close UD

Both fighters are around the same level. Hall of fame type fighters just never quite P4P #1 quality. Although Spence story still not finished, you'd probably have to go with Spence in this one but peak Cotto was badass wouldn't want to bet against him

Boxrec got Cotto at 5'7, Boxrec got Spence at 5 9 1/2 i mean even without those sites cotto was always kinda obviously short lol, Spence is clearly taller. felix is listed as 5'11 and dwarfs cotto Hard to get a gauge on a fighters size often listed all different sizes like I looked as this pic and Bhop is 6'1: and think Oscar 5'10-11 . {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","title":"1-CottoKamegai_Hoganphotos.jpg","data-attachmentid":30947848}

I put their heights into google and it says both are 1.77 mtr on many sites, nowhere does it say Cotto is 5'6", have you got any reference I'm intrigued now lol.

Spence is 5'9 bruh, Cotto is like 5'6. Spence is taller + more reach with a bigger frame than Cotto I put their heights into google and it says both are 1.77 mtr on many sites, nowhere does it say Cotto is 5'6", have you got any reference I'm intrigued now lol.

Yo I just started watching boxing like last year. How come people didn't like Cotto? And would refer him as Cotton? lol It's the damn autocorrect. Cotto is my guy! There's a certain segment of people that just hate on PR fighters in general. Some didn't like how he got his MW belt and fought Canelo while ignoring GGG. Great fighter though. A level or so below Floyd and Manny.

If Spence could pressure Cotton behind that jab, he may be able to win a UD. I never liked how Cotto dealt with pressure fighters. Too much unnecessary movement and doesn't know how to clinch and slow down the pace. Flip side, Cotto had an elite jab with amazing timing and the left hook being his money punch and how good that shot is against a southpaw, he could pull it out. Toss up.

I don't get this size thing often called with Spence, he and Cotto are the same height and Errol is slim build not thick so where is the size? Spence is 5'9 bruh, Cotto is like 5'6. Spence is taller + more reach with a bigger frame than Cotto

Going with Spence at 147. Too big, too strong I don't get this size thing often called with Spence, he and Cotto are the same height and Errol is slim build not thick so where is the size?

Going with Spence at 147. Too big, too strong

Stylistically I think it would be an action packed war.

How durable do you think Spence is?

dont really know where Spence is at just yet. Yeah that's a good point, lol. Spence still has room to ascend. :boxing:

Who wins? And how? 50/50 fight I guess. Cotto right now has beaten better guys than Spence ever did in Mosely, Margo and Martinez, but maybe Spence could get to him.

Pickem fight, dont really know where Spence is at just yet.
