    Forrest KO late. No way could he take all of the shots Baldy took. And I'm not overrating Forrest he's only lost twice officially. And his shoulder a hundred percent. His upper body was well built for last nights fight.

      Forrest can't skim down.. so it'd be at 154.. At 154 (Remember, Cotto is a WW that doesn't even get to 147 before the fight.. With Judah he was 146) At 154.. Forrest probably knocks him down a couple times, if not, out. And I like Cotto. It's just, too big a size difference.

        I think Cotto could actually win this fight. Forrest might prove to big though.

        But if Cotto can still get past Forrests jab, which i personally dont think would be a huge problem for Cotto, then he could work the body well enough to score maybe a Late round TKO.

        But again, i think Forrest may be to big for that. I wanna see what it looks like when they stand next to eachother.

          Cotto is on a mission to fight Floyd Mayweather, not past prime fighters trying to make it back to the top.

            Either Cotto would KO Forrest, or Forrest would box and move to a decision. That's what I think....

              The Forrest that beat Mosely twice easily beats Cotto. I'm not sure if that Forrest is back and I didn't see last nights fight.

                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.
                damn good points...and i have questions on whether cotto has enough power to hurt him . feel cotto didnt bring his power up to wltwt. let alone to 154.and he would be a midget against vernon.

                    Why do people continually pick cotto to loose? I mean everytime someone mentions him to fight someone lots of people say he's gona get ko'd.
                    I think cottos heart would take him through like against zab.
                    cotto by late ko due to forrest getting tired of the pressure and eventually getting caught with a mean left hook.

                      Forrest put on an awesome display last night but saying he can beat all these awesome welterweights right now is a bit rediculous. He beat a 36 slow as hell , no power carlos baldomir. a guy that was losing on the scorecards to an even more aged fighter in arturo gatti and got a little lucky. Forrest also is 36 and if he got caught flush by cotto, i dont think the fight would last to long. forrest used to be great, but even though he had a great perforamnce last night against a b minus fighter doesnt mean hes p4p number. thats almost laughable.
