Does a prime Cotto before Pac loss steamroll Spence and Crawford?

[jerseydan]

Cotto was so good during that Pacquiao fight. Would that version of Cotto have walked through Spence and Crawford?

[MONGOOSE66]

Prime Cotto was at 140.

[Lupara]

No way. He get's beat up by both

[Ganondorf]

Prime Cotto was 140. He loses to both.

Nope….. He was never the same after Margarito took a couple bricks in the ring. Prime Cotto was at 140.

I wouldn't say he stramrolls them, but they're good match ups.

[w1cked]

cotto's career prime was 140 because he was undefeated there.

but his physical prime was 147, he was draining himself to make 140 which probably weakened him a little and effected his ability to absorb punches.

and he was always a big 140 pounder.

yea he started taking losses at 147 but that's not because he wasn't at his best at that weight, its because the other guys (pacquaio, margarito) found ways to beat him.

[w1cked]

also these are pretty even fights, 50/50 or close to.

i don't think we've seen crawford or spence beat someone on the level of prime cotto yet.

Steamroll is an overstatement

these guys are all around the same level

borderline great in ability
