    I like Cotto, but Shane had two inches on him. Trinidad has four inches on this guy. Remember Vernon Forest vs Shane Mosely, Vernon wasn't even a huge puncher but he rocked shane because of leverage and power increase do to punching down. Tito has huge power and against a much shorter man with a shorter reach. Done and Done. If Cotto was 5-11 and not 5-7, he'd probably match what Vargas did. But I see that fight looking like the William Joppy fight.

      Mosley and Mayweather probably the main 2 current welters that would give Tito trouble. They have great chins and, especially in Mayweathers case don't take as much punishment or hits as Cotto tends to.

        I don't think so. Maybe it'd go the distance but not brutal.

        Cotto is one hell of a power puncher as well.
        I just don't know who has more power on the same weight.
        brutal.

        imagine vargas-trinidad except cotto is smaller , less powerful and less skilled than fernando vargas.

          Cotto by close decision. I love Tito, but the guy had 0 answer for a jab, absolutely none. Someone compared Tito to Marg which makes no sense whatsoever. Tito was knocked down in almost every major fight he had, and he started late just like Cotto. Sure, they might be similar in height but no way Tito took the kind of shots that Marg did. Cotto would be able to hit the body a bit more, and while Tito did stalk he didn't apply Margarito's type of pressure, and I think Cotto's shot would have kept him at bay. Tito was great but his biggest flaw was the jab and Cotto has arguably the best jab Tito ever would faced, if a fight happened.

            Cotto would be outboxing him until he gets tired and then Tito KOs him..
            It would be kinda like Froch vs Taylor except Cotto gets stopped in 9 or 10
