Could Ali Funeka give Cotto trouble or beat him possibly?

[Spray_resistant]

I was thinking since Funeka is fookin massive at LW coming into fights at 154 and a pressure fighter could he give Cotto who has taken some punishment now some trouble and possibly beat him by ko even? I mean the bad style match up for Cotto seems to be pressure fighters who take him out of his comfort zone which is being the cautious aggressor. Its hard to say if Funeka punches hard enough to back Miguel up and idk about Ali taking Cotto's punches.....most likely Cotto would stop him but if Funeka held up the fight could be interesting.....what do you think?

Too small for Cotto. The height/weight may be there but he would crumble under cottos shots. Its like when chico tried to fight Clottey at welter.

This may actually be a decent fight and I'd love to see it. Funeka always impresses me, and while I think Cotto would beat him, if Cotto wasn't at the top of his game Funeka could make it competitive or even beat him.

That is what I think most likely would happen because he was dropped by Campbell, as I said if he somehow held up it would be interesting.

I was going to say the same thing. Unless he gets Ariza and Roach to train him then I see Cotto walking right through him.

Even if he held up I don't see Ali being able to bother Cotto with his shots. Thats the problem.

He would be throwing alot of them and he is in no way featherfisted.....maybe at 147 he would be stronger and actually outweigh Cotto in the actual fight or weigh the same amount.

Honestly I believe that any fighter that has some serious will power can break Cotto's will.
I am a big Cotto fan but I honestly feel that Cotto has some Psychological damage that started with Margarito, grew with Clottey and peaked with Pac.
I think he needs to rekindle his hunger for the game (if that is even possible) at this stage in his career...I dont know and add a Super trainer to his team...Steward, Mayweather Sr, Trinidad Sr etc.

I think Funeka would pummel Cotta severely.
