Vernon Forrest vs. Miguel Cotto @ 147 in their primes.

[MurderDeathKill]

Forrest kills him. Cotto gets stuck on the outside and picked apart til he goes. His chin can't take Vernon's right.

Why didnt Cotto fight Floyd.

why didn't floyd fight cotto or forrest?

[mangler jr]

Cotto's best chance is getting inside and trying to wear Vernon's body down.

But Vernon's stick was too good, and he had great uppercuts.

Cotto would have to get lucky to win.

The only Puerto Rican I can think of that could beat Vernon at 47' (maybe) is a prime Tito.

Vernon takes it in a good fight...

[#1Assassin]

vernon by KO in the mid rounds.

cotto doesnt have the one punch KO power to hurt forrest or the ability to outbox him, he would have to break him down. but forrest is too good a boxer and too hard a puncher for cotto to get inside without paying too much of a prize.

cotto squares up alot and is a bit slow, cant see him getting past the jab of forrest. cotto was never that hard to hit, forrest was a big WW with brutal power and great boxing skills. after a few rounds of punishment vernon lays him out with a right hand down the pipe or a right uppercut.

Forrest KO6

Why didnt Cotto fight Floyd.

not only does forrest have great uppercuts, he has a great right hand over the top... both one thos punches almost always land on cotto. cotto will lose.

I can't believe 8 people voted Cotto.
