Cottos been out of the ring too long. A prime Cotto would be bigger ready for war, good boxer- puncher. He had a lot of different wrinkles. At 140 it was mostly his brawling and body shots. At 147 he was exposed by Pacquiao till he got with Emmanuel. He fought nice and slow against Yuri foreman and Sergio Martinez, slow but smooth. With roach in his Corner he could do it all, just like his performance in margarito 2 he would bring the ruckus to bud.Comment

Crawford gets put to sleep.
If Crawford was from an earlier 147 era......
His scared ass would still be fighting at 135. Maybe 130.

I see that a lot of people dislike Bud Crawford, and he certainly deserves his fair share of criticism. With that being said, this isn’t the one-sided matchup that everyone seems to think it would be.
Cotto was amazing from 2006-2008 but both guys would present issues stylistically.
As for the fight itself, I see Cotto jumping out to an early lead behind his jab because Bud usually takes a few rounds to adjust. After that I see Crawford gradually working his way back into it and a controversial decision either way wouldn’t be out of the question.
My point of reference is Cotto’s fights with two older but still capable former champions in Shane Mosley and Zab Judah. Those were competitive fights and I see Bud being highly competitive as well.Comment
