    50/50 fight. I can't pick.
    Could? Even Gomez landed a left hook vs Cotto.

      Trinidad. THere is not other answer at the moment. Cotto has a fair way to go before this comparison can be reasonably made.

        i don't see how cotto should get any votes.

        tito has an iron chin. cotto does not.

        tito is a harder puncher.

        tito is taller.

        tito has a longer reach.

        tito is naturally bigger and started at welterweight not super lightweight.

        do people not remember tito knocking out a middleweight hassine cherifi and middleweight champion joppy?

        do people not remember a PAST PRIME felix trinidad knocking out a tough as nails mayorga?

        cotto was in some big trouble at times with torres. this fight is at 147 not 140 and torres is no trinidad.

          I can never pick Tito again against a an elite, great boxer after seeing him lose every single second of every single round to Winky Wright.

            Winky Wright > Miguel Cotto.

                Cotto is in the middle of his career, Winky is either in the twilight or in the junkyard.

                  styles make fights.

                  there's a reason no one (NO ONE) wanted to fight winky......

                  oscar had superior handspeed/speed and superior boxing skills.

                  cotto is no oscar.

                  bernard used his size and strength along with his bag of veteran tricks.

                  cotto is no bernard.

                  no other fight after his first retirement should be considered. though the winky fight would've probably gone the same way even in tito's prime.

                    Just because he matched up poorly against one of the trickiest guys in recent history you are going to right him off agaisnt every single elite boxer? Seems a little harsh.

                      Also, in tems of boxing skills, Cotto isn't near Wright.
