Cotto Is The 2nd Best Welterweight

I agree, Cotto is a beast and is going to be the best fighter 154 or below once PBF retires. The guy is the total package. I do think that a guy like Judah could give him trouble if he came into the fight as focused as when he fought Floyd, but that would never happen. So no, I can't think of anyone either.

i think cotto can beat anybody at 147 except for floyd. even then, i think cotto might be able to break him down and overpower him.

margarito, baldy, clotty, hatton, cintron would all be dispatched inside the distance. the only guy who i think would stand a chance against cotto (aside from floyd) would be paul williams. but williams is lacking in defense and hasnt really been tested yet. but his long reach, jab, solid chin, and power would give him a pretty good chance at cotto.

forget cotto/margarito. thats a mismatch, though it would be nice to see. cotto should fight the winner of margarito/williams.

and floyd is on his way up to 154, and the #1 welter spot will be open. that'll be cotto's chance.

names I've highlited are guys IMO that would crush Miguel.

yeah, a guy who could barely beat a cripple (margarito) and a guy who cant beat people who are bigger than him (baldy) would crush cotto.

No way Baldy Crushes Cotto. Bonafide... Why would you pick Baldy? No way that man has a chance. Cotto would Crush him

Margarito outworks him and Baldomir outweighs him. Both spell trouble for Cotto, which is why we won't see them fight.

cotto still has way too many holes in his defense when punching any body with power and counter punch skills will expose him ... clottey is cottos biggest weakness becuase of the styles contrast ... judah would throw left hand lasers twice as fast as quintana.. its all about the sytle baldomir is tough and has better defense.. cotto is still raw he would beat margarito though..

i think clottey would give cotto hell. and with williams reach i gotta give it to him. i think cotto would beat judah though. but you never know what judah will show up.

Co-sign. Tony may get lucky and hurt Cotto, but Baldy doesn't have chance.

If Baldimor could land shots on Judah im pretty sure Cotto can too. Especially the right hand. IMO Tony Vs Cotto is 50-50.. When i thought before decemeber 2nd that Tony would crush Cotto. As for Clottey he is hell for Cotto at the moment.
