      Cotto does have more tools in that he has more versatility. Marquez is a better pure counter puncher. Cotto is a good counter puncher as well though. However, Cotto can be a boxer (Mosley) or be a pressure fighter (Zab) or a counter puncher (Margarito). Cotto can fight off the back foot or the front foot. Cotto can also turn southpaw.

      Marquez while extremely smart doesn't really have as many aspects in his game.

      Does that mean Cotto is a better fighter than Marquez not necessarily. But it does make mean he has more tools and options for approaching a fight.

        For this particular fight,Cotto has more skills than Marquez ever would against Pacman,but if weight & size wasn't an issue,they are about even,or Marquez slightly ahead!!

          gayweather would beat cotto worse if cotto was a LW too.
          Marquez isn't too good at leading, although I had him beating Pacquiao; look how vulnerable he was in the rematch against Pacquiao. Marquez is a better counter puncher and has more punches in his arsenal. It's a weird comparison because they're nothing alike. It's dumb to say Marquez is better all around.

            I think they both have almost the same boxing skills with jmm having the edge in that dept.. but

            theres no doubt that cotto have more power than jmm wich could be traduced to ANOTHER TOOL...



            dont try to to make this like jmm is floyd and cotto is baldomir... cos the difference is not that big

                  nah, jmm is better and has better defense.

                  i'm not saying cotto isn't skilled, he just aint no jmm.

                    I know, but still I don't think he's better than Cotto.
                    If they were the same size Marquez wouldn't have his quickness and that's the edge he had in light weight. Your hate for Cotto is huge in every thread.
                    I think you dream nightmares of Cotto.
