nah, cotto was talented, skilled and mentally tough. taylor was just talented. cotto's still got some good fights left in him.
he takes out foreman if that fight comes off. foreman cant hold cotto off with anything. it'd be like fighting a taller malignaggi.

Thing with that is...Cotto was the naturally bigger man even at 140..and definitely outweighed Malignaggi in that one..and I'd say the size difference had a bit to do with how he beat the **** outta Malignaggi..because even at the end of the fight..the scorecards weren't that lopsided..it was closer than it seemed..

now imagine Cotto against a Natural 154lb Malignaggi who would more than likely out weight Cotto come fight night!?..

this won't be that easy for Cotto..I just hope he wins impressively..

and to the Jermain Taylor comparison...HELL NO!!..

[-EX-]

Disagree with the comparison...Cotto's fought the tougher competition...and has a better resume...

I think Jermain may be more gifted but Cotto is the better fighter...

Cotto simply lost to better fighters(Margarito may be the style matchup)

Jermain was brutally knocked out by Pavlik and Abraham...and stopped by Froch...on paper he shudda beat Pavlik and deff beat Froch...

Cotto went out on his own terms against Margarito and Pacquiao(I thought he cudda seen the final bell)...he was outboxing Margarito...yet Pac was the favorite to beat him...

I could understand the comparison but Cotto's better and still has fight in him IMO...people are concerned about Jermain's health if he continues on...

i dont think size would really matter. reach might (yuri doesnt have an exceptionally long reach), but it aint like yuri hits like a natural junior middle and its not like he'll physically impose himself on cotto.

cotto stalks intelligently, cuts off the ring and eventually breaks yuri's ribs.
it'll probably be a close fight scoring wise cuz foreman's a stinker, but i think cotto's got this.

cottos situation different he fought the real "hands of stone",he fought clottey with a early handicap, and we all know pac doesnt want to take the blood test. taylor just gets knocked out cold .

I think Cotto had more talent personally. But they both seem to slow down in the later rounds in hard fights. If and when they return to rebuild their careers hopefully conditioning is a point of focus.

I'd take Plasterito's punches over Pavlik's punches anyday. The scary thing about Pavlik is that he throws weird punches that appear to do no damage whatsoever, but then suddenly his opponent drops...Abraham and Froch are also very strong too. Froch is a great brawler, one dimensional or not.
