How Good is Abdulaev?

[DLT]

Ive seen a couple of his fights but only pieces of them. He looks solid but a littile slow. Some experts think him and Cotto is a great fight and then I heard some say that Cotto would kill him and he's not all that. Which is it? Can he beat Cotto and is this Cotto's toughest fight?

He defeated Cotto in the olympics so hmmmm maybe lol

I doubt it though..it being his toughest fight maybe cuz Cotto has been fighting puppy crap recently..

Cotto has more experience than Abdulaev is all I know.

I don't know how good he is because I've only seen limited clips of him in action. However, I think the same people that are saying he'll give Cotto a hard fight or beat him were the same people who were saying that Pinto would outbox Cotto...or the same people who were saying that Kendall Holt would have potentially stopped Cotto.

The jury is still out on this one. If Cotto fights this one like he fought Corley then anything is possible. I have the feeling that Cotto will stop this guy in the middle rounds though.

Alot of great fighters lose in the olypics or in the amatures to people you never heard of so that doesnt mean too much. However I do think Cotto is a littile overrated

I think Abdulaev has a bigger name then Pinto though and has established himself as a better fighter so I see a littile difference in that

Abdulaev kayoed Pinto in the same Olympics that he beat Cotto on points.

Well both guys are/were seen as being skilled prospects. Pinto was 20-0 however with a win over Augustus who is a bigger name than anyone on Abdulaevs record. It seemed that people liked Pinto over Cotto too because Pinto was good on the outside and had a significant reach advantage. I dunno though, Abdulaev could be a bigger threat to Cotto, only time will tell.
