Prime Kostya Tszyu vs Miguel Cotto @ 144

[wmute]

Kostyas best punch was the straight right.
Cottos vulnerable to right hands especially below welterwt.

thank you, that's what i was going to write.

I don't think Cotto would be too drained at 144 and he's bigger then Kostya, and no matter how much of a beast Kostya was at 140, i'm not so sure he can pressurise Cotto as much as Margarito did, considering it took until the 11th to stop him, especially when you consider the size difference between Kostya and Margarito.

We know Kostya hit like a mule, but Cotto's body punches would get to Kostya in the mid-rounds.

I'd say a Cotto TKO through a bloody battle.

Cotto would have to really pressure Tsyzu to stand a chance. He couldnt fight like he did against Margarito and hope to outbox Tszyu cos he'd get murdered. And he couldnt fight slow and methodically like he sometimes does. He'd have to really stay right on top of Tszyu and smother him.

I think Tszyu would probably KO him.
