Cotto vs Vernon Forrest? If they fought ,who would you pick

[RayLeonard82]

Defensively ,i don't see how Cotto would not get hit a lot in this fight. Forrest has more speed ,better counterpuncher. I could see Cotto getting hit a lot in this fight.

The only chance id give Cotto is with relentless pressure and maybe tiring Forrest out late in the fight and catching him with a big shot. Other then that ,i could see Forrest building up a big lead early on.

Cotto is not a good defensive fighter

[niceguy45]

forrest is trying to get to the top, i believe he needs like 3 or 4 fights b4 getting in the ring to resist cotto's body punches, i don't think forrest can't resist in the long run

Cotto wouldn't let Forrest do all that backpeddling around the ring like he did with Baldo.

[RayLeonard82]

But Baldomir caught a lot of big shots from Forrest as he was coming forward.

We dont know if Cotto could take those same shots from Vernon and still keep up the relentless pressure.

Judah hurt Cotto a couple of times and i think Vernon is a more accurate puncher with more power then Judah and longer at 6-1.

forest by UD...id pick forest over anybody at 147

[maxorido]

I would take Forrest by UD. He was landing some bombs on Baldy, and we all know that Cotto doesn't have nearly the same kind of chin as Baldy.

[SpeedKillz]

i probly would have to say cotto by UD. forrest is no spring chicken he couldnt handle all of cottos pressure and body work and still be able to hit him with meaningful shots. he would be fighting very defensivley imo.

cotto by ko

forrest ud

[Winkyftw!]

One win over Badly and now Forrest can beat Cotto. His shoulder will never be the same, his jab isn't as strong, and his power seems to have diminshed slightly. Chill on the Cotto fight dude, even Forrest said he's not all the way back.
