Miguel Cotto could clear out the division?

and actually, urkal caught him a lot in their fight. imagine if urkal could punch with power?

True but Cotto punches with power and he caught Urkal more.
Perhaps Cotto would have tightend up more if he was concerend about Urkal power? He wasnt so we dont know but thats my feeling

Cotto beats most of them, toughest win would be against Mayweather..

But the person he does not beat is Sugar Shane Mosley.. Cotto simply will not win this fight

Mosley is my main concern as a Cotto fan but i still think he edges it over the full 12. Mosley (who im a big fan of) Yelped out loud in agony when Forrest caught him with a body shot in there 1st fight and Vargas was slowing him down with his body work 1st time around too, just sumthing that sticks in my head but Shane works the body very well also! It will if it ever happens be a battle for the ages!

Cotto is a very solid fighter...but I'm a bit unsure why this poll has him beating almost every legitimate weltweight out there. What have others seen in his last few fights that make him so imposing? I've seen skill, but also flaws- and some mental weaknesses. Cotto is very good but his last few fights have been against people who shouldn't have beat him.

Branco - do we remember this guy? Never heard much of his before or since, honestly.

Malignaggi...no one gave him a shot in hell. Sure, he put up a fight...but to whose credit is that?

Urkal. We're giving Cotto Welterweight credentials for this effort?


Cotto is moving up to 147 and I haven't seen him show with his temperament in a fight, coupled with his chin, he can really use his skills to clean out the division. I'm still not sold that he can take Zab. Sure, he has a good shot, but I'm not sold he'll dominate or anything.

Why are we all saying Cotto can whoop ass at 147? Quintana? I mean...other than that he's been a jr. welterweight fighter. Let's measure him a bit more before saying he'll wipe the division.

Well no need to over re-act buddy.The thread says "could" not "will" so you're clearly speaking on a different frequency.

This is just a case of a lot of people believing in him and giving him a good shot at 147. People will always have different opinions.

I'll put money on Cotto over Mosley if the fight ever happens...

Mosely would be the fight I'd be most unsure about.

[Addison]

What's the word?

[ThaHorseman]

Floyd and Mosley have the potential to outbox him for 12 rounds and I can't go against a great boxer vs. a great puncher. But I definitely think he's the toughest fight out there for either of them. Cintron would be another guy I'd have as a long shot purely based on one-punch power. Other than that I don't think there's anyone on that list that I'd be worried about beating Cotto.

[baya]

cotto deinitely does not beat pbf, seriously, this guy is the best fighter of the last 20 years-pbf, just to clear that up.

the only other guy i'm unsure about is margarito. the rest of 'um succumb to lowblotto
